Does it exist?

I drive 1992 Holden Barina, no paint on bonnet, starts when she likes (her names EVE – first part of number plate)

Partner drives 1991 Commodore Exec station wagon, guzzles fuel like its dying of thirst…

To Toni, I was merely stating what I had experienced at my health club, having the knowledge that someone is always there to help/ encourage you certainly does motivate one further.

I also do not think this mentoring program is for me at this point…[Read more]

for example: If I attend a health club, every time I visit I will be able to access one on one support to keep me motivated.

Also my understanding of a mentor is someone you trust, are familiar with, and look up to for guiding your ways,
I do not…[Read more]

A little music is good for the soul,
a little wine good for the heart,
but nothing will ever be good enough for a mortals mind!

We all want a bit more money just to help life get better…..

I am considering joining but not completely sold as yet as I do not know if i would benefit from such a program.

It sounds to me that if this is indeed a profiteering exercise and not a genuine mentoring program designed to assist unskilled and uneducated investors (like myself) then it is definitely disappointing.

Not to mention…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice people, I will have to sit down and work out my goals I think.

Scremin, actually my husband gets very well paid compared to other cabinet makers, the reason he told me he was a pilot is that he was sick of women saying “Is that all?” whenever he told them what he did for a living!

He asked me to marry him 8 months after we met. It was a whirlwind romance that…[Read more]

It’s in Telstra Dome, Melbourne.

I didn’t put that in before.

A Very HAPPY CHRISTMAS to everyone on the property forum,
and a safe and prosperous New Year!

I wont be on the forum for a while again, spending time with the family over Christmas and then doing some renovating on our house and caravan!

Best Wishes to all

I am a believer at the moment, my ability to earn an income IS an asset at this time of my life!

Especially as am frantically trying to pay off this investment loan, to free up more borrowing power for the next property.

I think think the higher the income the easier it would be though, so i am looking for ways to improve myself and so…[Read more]

I used like horror as a teenager,

now Im into action/dramas.Dont think I have a favourite?

Also I like the movies critics dont usually like – and foreign films.

I enjoyed my time at the beach, although it couldve been a bit warmer.

I am a serious summer beach babe, bring on the hot weather[cool4]

You could always do it just for family and friends (word of mouth is a good thing) and sort of do it as a cash under the counter job.

Just have all your contacts to refer people to ie solicitor, bank, builder, RE agent…[Read more]

I would like this site to have a chat room though…

Trisha

Sounds like youve got it all worked out!

Hopefully soon I’ll know what its like to have a surplus from property instead of having to work hard to make the repayments!

Your right about needing to feel good on the inside, isnt it a shame the “bliss of spending” wears off so quickly?!!

Our consumerism society certainly doesnt help, oh well…[Read more]

I know exactly where youre coming from, everytime I talk about investing on a grand scale my parent get all wild eyed and say “dont get yourself into debt!” they come from the school where all debt is bad, they think the only way to wealth is to win tattslotto!

I also have the problem of not enough time, I work three jobs and although I…[Read more]

I only have one -ve geared property at the moment so am a long way off financial independence also.

I need to work out a plan as well so it may be a while before I am free of the “restraints” of working life!

Trisha[biggrin]

*No time

*Not enough knowledge(yet)

*No support (well maybe only a little)

In short I am thoroughly confused about investing at the moment and so am doing my homework first, getting ideas and creating a network from whom I can gather help in my journey.

Hopefully soon I will be able to get into…[Read more]

I have been trying to think of new ideas people will pay money for ie new products/inventions like the juice bars that are taking off.

If I could create and run my own empire that would be great, as I LOVE to keep…[Read more]

As for how many houses? I think I’d need about 25 houses maybe more.

I havent exactly worked out a strategy yet for achieving this as I am still gaining all the knowledge i can in order to make it happen.

I dont think being…[Read more]

My most recent splurge was a professional timber bar (the kind that has the place to hang your wine glasses, beer tap etc)
which I think was a bargain at $1000.

Im not really a person who buys coffee every day, I save it up and then whammo! spend it…[Read more]

I personally also think some sort of mentoring is a good idea, as finding your way can be pretty hard work and scary, especially if you are a baby investor [baby] like me!

I am always welcoming good advice although sometimes I find it hard to tell whats good and whats not!

Finding a knowledgable person who would like to help is my idea…[Read more]

Im going to the second round as I missed out on the first one on the 14th

Trisha[biggrin]

I’m landscaping our backyard (Cert in Horticulture and Landscape Gardening), and generally enjoying my garden, having Cocktail Parties (with the help of my new bar) fine dining and going out for coffee with friends (I’d like to have more time to do this!) looking after the menagerie (chooks,cats,…[Read more]

Ill keep an eye out for any upcoming events!
Hopefully I wont miss out next time!

Trisha[biggrin]

Sounds like you have a lot of support round you when you need it most, its unfortunate you lost your wallet (frightening feeling[anxious])
but think of the benefits this challenge has brought you – love and support, a better memory (we hope?[biggrin]) and new found friends.

To quote a song I like “Cant you see, lifes easy, when you…[Read more]

I dont mind doing it if everyone can agree on a day/time, Ive got some hols coming up late Oct (finally!) so any time then would be fine for me!,

any other thoughts peoples, ie where to meet?

Trisha[daisy]

Such wisdom from ones so young!

I think Ive seen these somewhere before Emc, maybe in the Herald Sun? Great Idea to post them on the forum!

Trisha[angel]

By the way, perhaps I can catch up with all you Melbournites that go and find out how it went?

Shame I cant purchase an autographed book Steve…

Trisha

Im not into risking my health/stress levels…

Trisha[confused2]

Luckily there arnt too many out there like that one…

Trisha[cap]

The best feeling in the world comes from giving or doing a good turn for someone,

How many selfish people do you know that are happy?

Trisha[eh]

Although I will have to make sure its not one of the Sundays I work.

Im working Sun 26th, and the 3rd of October, otherwise after that may be good…

Trisha[^]

but where do we meet depends where we all are geographically, PM me where you live and we can brainstorm a place to meet in the middle of where we all are…

Trisha[biggrin]

Help us Steve, or no one will get to the launch!

Any night will be ok for me though sometimes it may be late (ie after work)!

I prefer the ones about the church and the women!

Im interested in any area that offers CF+,

or even neutral geared would be fine.

I really want to learn as much as I can about the market,whats out there and therefore be ready for a hot deal that may come up!

Trisha[biggrin]

I too am having trouble booking as it wont display the page!

I would like to attend the Melbourne one with a couple of friends (if I can get time off!)
