    Wealth Creation Zones (and a Crazy Neighbour Story)

    January 6, 2019

    Reading Time: 4 Minutes Hey guys! How y’all doing! And how’s those new year resolutions coming along? Keep going! I’ve added a new one to our list – we have to find a new place to live. Pronto. Not by choice you see, but because we have this crazy neighbour next door who has been causing malicious property damage on our apartment level. The guy thought it was a good idea to start hammering and drilling through the tiles and walls of our common area in the wee hours of the morning. Apparently he’s always been a bit unstable but it’s only in the last couple of weeks where his…

    Hello 2019

    January 3, 2019

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hi everyone! Welcome back, welcome back. Gestures to an open fire crackling in the hearth. Hope we all had a fantastic New Year’s party – I know I did! And ouch, what a hangover right? We spent our NYE at our friend Emili’s (not her real name, so you’re safe Emily if you’re reading this), chomping on KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and playing a multitude of board games as we waited to ring in 2019. Between all the yelling and laughing and general good times, I had what you would call an epiphany. Been having a fair few of those recently (read here and here). Yknow,…

    Farewell 2018

    December 31, 2018

    Reading Time: 4 Minutes Well guys it’s finally here aye. The end of 2019. Had to happen of course, I mean each year is the beginning of the rest of our lives and all that. In a bit of a philosophical mood as you can tell, just finished reading a post from a blogger who I respect and follow about his 2018. It was a fairly reflective and raw piece, he’s achieved a lot, said a lot, done a lot – but you know I get the feeling that he’s not satisfied a lot. At least that’s what I’m reading it as, could just be that he’s becoming more grumpy…

    Christmas Karma!

    December 23, 2018

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up guys! Are we all enjoying the holidays? I hope you guys are! Cos geebers, you wouldn’t believe the week I was having – just frigging WOW. Boy am I glad to see the back of that one. It was only when a work colleague mentioned on Friday that we are in the last week until Xmas, that I looked up from my desk and realized, SHIT it’s true! So why was the week so shitty? Cos every friggin client decided the last working week of the year was the perfect time to come out from the woods and complain about this and ask about that.…
