Once again.... It's got nothing to do with being smart. If being "smart" had anything to do with it, all of the dirt poor Professors in the world wouldn't be dirt poor. You're absolutely flapping and flailing in the wind. There's few things in life more frustrating than conversing...

Yes, that's exactly what I said. Don't be sorry. I can well understand why you fail to see. I'd suggest 99.9% or more of the forum members will also fail to see.....but that doesn't make my statement incorrect.

1. What kind of man are you? I'm told I am in a world of my own, happily self-occupied, dreamy and contented in my own company. I see fairies in my garden.... I slightly altered the first question.....but his answer pretty much stayed the same. Green as grass. A lost cause. He's an...

Don't go into the realms of reality Scott. Jackbak clearly knows what he is talking about....let him think that. No point rambling on about the realities of owning large properties. If he says owning a portfolio like that is easy, then it must be so.

Super Andrew, If you have to ask that question....you're clearly not following. Employing a pimply 19 yo receptionist at a REA with a list of tradies at her fingertips does not equate to "management".

Good onya chief. Great decision. Sounds fantastic. God speed and safe travels for you and your lovely wife and children. :)

Not really ?? Methinks you have no idea what you are talking about. So enlighten us jackbak.....speaking from experience, how many hours does it take to own and manage a 12m portfolio ??

If you think so. I reckon it would be an agonising decision for Oscar if he managed to pull off the 7 figure salary. To give it up, would be like having a fully paid for $ 12,000,000 fantastic property and simply throwing it away for free. There wouldn't be too many on the forum who...

Swinging above tiger sharks First year Uni student. Working on an offshore oil platform in the middle of nowhere in fairly deep (80m) water. Busily working away at the compressor level (above 26m above the ocean) when both the electrician and the mechanic come running up, grab me and scream...

Ace.....maaaate, Just cos your the Director and the legislation doesn't give a rats about you, doesn't mean you should leave your brain behind. Look after yourself chief and figure out a way of getting either additional manual help or lifting equipment. People who live with the...

It's a very difficult choice isn't it Oscar. If you are on a high 5 figure income....it's like selling for free a very high yielding 6 figure property. If you are on a low 6 figure income....it's like selling for free a very high yielding 7 figure property. If you are lucky enough to be...

In the end, you don't need to listen. All you need to do is study the impartial published Govt data and confirm the results. Don't listen to what they say. Watch what they actually do. Even blind Freddy can see a long term pattern. How one takes the giant leap from managing the economy...

No, you may not. It's a nonsense suggestion. Future Budgets are set prior to the final published result being known. It is prudent and wise to run a surplus. It is foolish and reckless to sail too close to the wind and risk a deficit. By the same twisted logic, seen only from an...

All of Labor's $ 96 Billion in net debt fully paid off. Over $ 22 Billion in cash sitting in the Bank, earning the country huge interest. Over $ 60 Billion in cash locked away in the Future Fund so Labor couldn't spend it. Yep, they really left the place in a shambles. Boy o boy, Labor...

Discussions yes....suggestions from non-Liberals about what to do - zip. Journalists won't even ask the Labor pollies about what their plan is to get the Budget under control. You'll get pages and pages of what they won't do, but nary a peep about what they would do. They've been fed the...

Exactly right, but it doesn't stop non-Liberal supporters from throwing rocks from the sideline. Do you know how stupid it sounds being lectured from Labor and the Greens who wouldn't know a surplus if they fell over one, standing there waggling their finger about what the Liberals should...

Thanks for the kind remarks stumpie. Indeed. What I found that I lacked in employment was the autonomy of decision making. To me, it's the one thing that business owners have that easily keeps a spring in their step on Monday morning, whereas employees typically drag themselves in. If...

We were at that stage about 8 years ago. It's extremely tempting to cut the chains of your work if you have a JOB like I did. We resisted that temptation for another 3 years.....it's very difficult to do. Looking at a prize that you have been working towards for 20 years and not simply give...

Dip your toe in.....the water's lovely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnKrWOpUwR0

.....oh, stop moaning D.T., I offered you extremely reasonable accommodation that would slash your commute and give you back many hours per day, but you chose to keep beating your head against a wall. Give us a call when you come to your senses.
