Reading Time: 2 Minutes So I thought it best to shoot out a quick post just to let everyone know that yes, I am still alive and no, I have not forgotten about you. It’s just been TOO much this past week. I wrote last time (read here) that I had embarked on a whirlwind property scouting weekend a few days ago… And what a few days since! You see, I had shortlisted and viewed a couple of dozen or so properties in those two days, and now it’s time to get stuck into due diligence. So please excuse me as I’ve been trying to cull this one here and…

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…

Reading Time: 2 Minutes So it’s been a while since I’ve written anything about Cryptocurrency. Cryptos you might remember, made global headlines for creating a whopper of a bubble a couple of years ago. Suffice to say, not much has been heard from since. I thought it’d be prudent to do a quick update on what’s going on in the world of Cryptos. 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…
