Reading Time: 3 Minutes ARGH!!! “Shakes head vigorously” Brrr, bloody real estate. Really doing my head in. You see guys, I’ve got too much choice available at the moment. After our latest hunting trip back from the West Coast, I’ve drawn up about a dozen or so properties which I aim to make offers on. Mind you, not to acquire a dozen, I reckon one, hopefully two max. The problem at the moment is that with choice, I don’t really know where to begin. It doesn’t help that the bargain hunter in me is wanting to low ball the Baby Jeebers out of any deal… In fact, I’ve already blown…

What’s Got Me So Pumped?!!!
Reading Time: 2 Minutes Hey guys! What’s going on!!! Excuse me for sounding EXCITED. But I’m going shopping on the weekend. Not for my usual Sunday grocery shop mind you… No, for PROPERTY. Love it, love it, love it. Will be catching the red-eye once again and hopping over to some remote corner of our nation to hopefully snag a bargain or three. In fact, it’s what kept me going these past couple of TOUGH weeks (wowee were they tough alright) – knowing that I’m again re-focused and re-energized on my financial goal… ain’t it AMAZING? I must admit that in recent months I have been a bit distracted and…

Legitimacy As I’ve remarked before, the power behind Cryptocurrency, being the Blockchain, has always been the game changer. The premise being that transactions can be verified by anyone and everyone around the World. So it’s no surprise that in recent months established names such as Facebook came…

What’s Ayers Rock Got To Do With Getting a Mortgage?
Reading Time: 3 Minutes “Idō shite kudasai” I looked back… a smirking Japanese boy of 8 looks up at me. Hesitantly, I snake around the chain link fence and let him move past. This is it, I say to myself… if a kid can do it, I can bloody well do it. ~~~ OK so you might be thinking, what is he on about? Well, MrsFrugalSamurai and I spent the last few days in the Australian Outback… or more specifically, in the dead centre of our great country, where we visited the famous Uluru, or Ayers Rock. It was quite an incredible experience and I can totally see why many…

A Timely Reminder
Reading Time: 1 Minute A note to self…as part of R U OK? (For those of us who are going through a tough time). There’s plenty of things going on, so many distractions and really no one knows for sure what it is we are doing. But you know – always striving and hoping to be the best person you can be is everything we can wish for. Sometimes life will get us down, and sometimes we’re on our knees praying for everything to just go away, to leave us alone. It ain’t easy, life never is. But we have to breathe. We have to stand up and believe in…
