    Understand the math ~ Diet vs Exercise

    My grandma is 103, hasn't eaten meat in over 30 years as it gives her headachs and is still kicken. Lives at home, no walking stick, cooks, cleans and bakes me the best cakes! So the theory that you need to eat x amount of meat per day is BS!!

    Is anyone buying now?!

    Its too competitive for my liking trying to compete with everyone else but I managed to get a good buy. I put in two other offers on two other homes that got knocked back so i walked away from them. I will only pay what i think its worth. Third time lucky. I prefer to buy when interest rates...

    New car

    Three years ago i dropped 45k on mine. Do i have any regrets? Nope! I do sometimes think crap i could have an extra 45k right now in the bank but thats quickly forgotten because i love my car and the power of it etc. I could never go back to driving a standard 2L - 25K car.

    Just realised...

    I actually don't wish this one bit. Not my style. Ive been saving ever since and will buy my next IP early next year or end of this year with a massive deposit and only a little loan needed. I don't like debt.
