Reading Time: 7 Minutes Hola peeps! Another weekend down, and oh boy – cannot WAIT for 2020 to be over, what a tough, tough year it’s been! Amazingly I was remarking to MrsFrugalSamurai only this morning, that it felt like yesterday that we went through a mass toilet paper shortage (remember that?) and that face masks and hand sanitizers were flying out the door… … then I promptly closed the toilet door and yelled out that we had run out of toilet paper. Anyhow, today’s post is the 2nd chapter that I was lucky enough to write in Aussie FIRE: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Independence for Australians courtesy of Pearler.com…

July Net Wealth Update
Reading Time: 2 Minutes The 2nd wave of COVID-19 is well and truly here in Australia, with Victorians doing it pretty tough at the moment with stage 4 lockdowns. Will there be a stage 5? What even is stage 5? I have no idea. It’s pretty full on at the moment, and can only hope that the nation can get through this together. Financially speaking, there was plenty of talk for both the property market and ASX dropping with the coming of the 2nd wave. This… hasn’t… happened. Will it ever? Again, no idea to be honest (my confusion is a recurring theme) as I’ve long stopped caring about forecasts…
