That puts things in perspective. Ross Gittens wrote a piece this morning that’s saying that Australians are working much longer hours than they used to. Second only to Japan if I remember correctly.

But let me ask you this: I certainly don’t deny that being rich means being rich in time. ie having the financial capacity to spend your time the way you want to. But is the financial goal you set for yourselves time related or number related?

Thanks for both of your comments.

LA – No, I’m from NSW.

I’m not a huge beach-goer but I was just considering as an option for an investment. Not that I’m ready to invest right at this moment. It was just for future consideration really.

Thanks for those comments.

I agree with you LA in that the figures that are produced by the media can be misleading.

The superannuation policy that’s available till July might bring some Mum & Dad investors out of the market as well thus bringing prices down.

Just a thought. Difficult to predict this property stuff [blink]

Who cares if prices are unaffordable? Just rent and save your money and get smart at investing in shares.

Buying a house right now is an absolute rip off, and the most over-rated “dream” I can possibly think of.

I read that article and thought it was rather scary. What’s even more amazing is the amount of debt Australians are willing to get into to own a house.

Do people really think, particulaly in capital cities like Sydney and Melbourne, that getting into hundreds and thousands of dollars of debt is necessarily worth it?
