Reading Time: 4 Minutes Welcome to Autumn everyone! The year is well and truly under-way but geez laweez, can you believe it’s MARCH already! Surely there’s a saying somewhere about how time just FLIES. I’ve been a pretty busy bee so far this year, what with the new property purchase (read here) as well as the hunt for the next addition. But I’m not the only one! There’s a couple of my friends who have also been very busy with their investment journey… especially my esteemed colleague Light Beam.

Cannabis… The New Frontier?
Reading Time: 3 Minutes “WHEW!” The agent looks up, she is startled. “Sorry I’m late, but my name is TheFrugalSamurai and I’m here for the inspection…?” ~~~ That’s right folks!
