RussH,

Not sure if you can or not, as I am not familiar with the editing abilities of this forum, but as you were the instigator of the thread, can you not remove it if you so choose??

Maybe, that would help!

Just a suggestion.

Jo

I agree!!!

Fair enough RussH,

And believe it or not….I am not out to get you; besides you live in aother state!!! LOL

Seriously, I don’t care what or how you conduct yourself financially, this is entirely your business.

Wanting to help someone is one thing, but actually doing it is another.

I feel as though you aren’t hearing me, so rather than…[Read more]

Lucifer,

Yes, financially independant at age 28. If you or anyone else wants to know more, I will gladly (without reservation) let them know. But save your respect for someone who really deserves it, not me…I don’t ask for it, nor do I consider my achievements worthy of mention, unless specifically asked.

Thanks for the lengthy post, sorry I…[Read more]

Baloo,

Did you read the word before USEFUL? I said ALL. I am sure most have useful elements, even if it means they make you think, but IMO they are not ALL useful, and again (strong or otherwise) IMO to believe so is ludicrous.

Sorry, if that doesn’t still well with you. But hey, I am not out to change your mind, only voice my opinion, which…[Read more]

RussH,

Firstly, I apologise for “attacking” you; you’re right that was quite unfair of me….sorry, but you hit a nerve. You claim to care for this woman, but with the same breath you turn around and ask for everyone else to help her….why???? So you can take the credit for it, or to ease your conscience????

I don’t care about your…[Read more]

Thank you Celivia,

That is EXACTLY my point. I have NO OJECTION to READING….it is an excellent means of acquiring knowledge, BUT….it is NOT THE ONLY WAY.

Caution needs to be exercised…(not too much of course, you don’t want to sit on your hands all your life) but enough to take what your read use it as a guide.

There is no wrong or right…[Read more]

Lucifer,

I am financial free….and I did it WITHOUT John Burley thank you…[Read more]

True, some people don’t like books….I Love them, guess I have to….I used to teach literature to university students, and how could I teach them about stuff I didn’t read myself.

My problem isn’t with books, nor…[Read more]

There are homes that start as low as 350K in Williamstown, and their growth is just as good as that of 750K. It just depends on what type of house he wants.

Me personally, I’d start smaller, and work my way up….I didn’t get where I am today by “biting off more than I could chew” straight away.

Nevertheless, all the best to him on his…[Read more]

Well RussH,

Put your money where you mouth is boy!!! If you are soooooooooooooooooooo concerned with this woman’s well being, pay her what she originally asked for and NEEDS to pay off her loan.

Why are you extending your hand out to us???? For all I know, she (a) doesn’t exist, and (b) I won’t be making a profit out of buying her dump.

You…[Read more]

RussH,

Just wondering……HOW MANY BOOKS HAVE YOU READ???????

BTW that guy I mentioned in one of my posts, the one who LOST EVERYTHING and was millions of dollars in debt, started out reading the exact same books you have mentioned plus many many others just like it.

I don’t see any harm in reading (it is good for the soul) but whatever you…[Read more]

Why spend 750K when there are so many others (in excellent areas) for so much less!!!

The median house prices in Melbourne are approx (last time I checked) about 350K; he is talking nearly double that….where does he want to live???

Jo

MrVip,

SEEK PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL COUNSEL !!!!!

Reading is fine, but it takes time, and unfortunately in your situation you need to spend yours digging your way back out.

Your situation, though sad, is not a total loss. YOU CAN FIND YOUR WAY BACK, but my advice is speak to another bank/financial instituion whatever to help in your…[Read more]

The reason you got fired up is because it makes a lot of sense.Especially to a beginner who doesnt need to be losing money by feeding an alligator.

Sorry, RussH but I beg to differ on that notion! As you will notice from almost ALL “get rich my way” type books, their aim is to do just that “get you fired up”,…[Read more]

Derek,

I agree, better 2 million debt on 5 million in property, as opposed to 400K debt on a 450k property.

Sorry, I meant 400k (not 50K) on a 450K property.

Jo

Rob,

Reason for asking the question; simple CURIOUSITY. Would it make me take on more debt? Not necessarily; I make decisions based on what position I am in at the time, no because others say it’s okay or not okay. Your strategy is fine, so stick with it, it makes perfect sense.

Derek,

I couldn’t agree more with your views of what is and…[Read more]

Hi Marc,

My name isn’t Victoria; it’s the state I live in…LOL Anyway, I understand what you’re saying, and I look forward to a copy of your book one day.

Rugbyfan,

Orange does have good and bad spots, and there are heaps of HC areas which are slowly being sold off to private investors. Maybe the lass trying to sell her sister’s property…[Read more]
