Reading Time: 4 Minutes What’s up everyone! Hope we are all having a good week. Much better for yours truly, thanks for asking. BOO-YAH, I knew it’d be a better week when on Monday, a whole bunch of us got together for an impromptu but QUALITY dinner. Like $65 all-you-can-eat top of the range Japanese BBQ quality. DAY-AM. Let’s see, my friend Light Beam was there (the future Australian Treasurer), Bubu (the most handsome of our group) and Bugzy (another EN-TRE-PRE-NEUR, guy’s got 3 online businesses on the go, jayzuz). So of course, as expected the conversation was free-flowing and top notch (just like the meat yum, yum). Actually, I…

Being Rich Eliminates 67% of Life’s Problems
Reading Time: 4 Minutes Owwww I am STUFFED. BURP. Excuse me for a bit boys and girls. Belches again off-camera. Whew, much better. Just had a HUMONGOUS feed. Man, I knew it was wrong to grab those Fillet-O-Fish burgers for a post-dinner snack… never again. Shakes head. Brbrbrbrbrrrrr. But c’mon, who DOESN’T like fast food, SO. DAMN. DELICIOUS. Hmmm… although it does remind me of what I was reading earlier today, what was it again? Hm. Oh yeah! It was on Tom Corley’s Rich Habits. Who’s Tom Corley? Yeah exactly.

It’s weeks like this one when I just wanna come home after a HARD day’s work and, to quote a scholar “make sweet, tender love with my baby, and cry in her arms until we fall asleep”. Hahahaha, that scholar makes me laugh. But truth be told, it has been a trying week. Got a couple of urgent deadlines due as well as a FLOOD of maintenance requests for multiple properties, on TOP of not sleeping well AND feeling under the weather.

Our Latest Buy (Part 3)
Reading Time: 5 Minutes Gday everyone, writing this at Melbourne airport at the moment. Been a bit of a whirlwind weekend as a tag-along to MrsFrugalSamurai. She’s got a work conference here so thought I’d come down and see how our Melbournian cousins are doing. In a word? GREAT. Really good vibe every time we come here, people are more chilled and the food? Superb as always. We also caught up with a few friends – some of whom have been following the last couple of posts about our most recent purchase (read here and here) AVIDLY. Last time I disclosed the prices which I tested the waters for the…
