Hey mate, thanks for your response. You are the only person in this thread that has noted the profession i'm in as part of this argument, and that it is completely different to every other profession for various reasons that i won't go in to. Others have likened my situation to a "tradie" who...

But i'm working off a higher base than the "norm", in terms of salary?

haha mate, i'm gonna follow the advice of the majority here. Porsche will have to wait.

Mate, thanks for your response. Trust me, i wont get attached to my first home. My taste is too expensive for me to get attached to my first home when later on I can afford the home of my dreams. Understand what your saying about opportunity cost but you're talking as if performing at the...

I buy my PPOR, put as much money into paying it off as possible extract equity from it and purchase IP's. I never said i would pay off the house completely before i began investing. What is wrong with the following logic? Every dollar you use to pay off your mortgage is essentially the...

Fair advice mate, can I ask what you do for a living? The reason i'm curious is that not all professions give the opportunity of working and thus earning more by choice. This year i'll have gained my full registration and thus have opportunity to do locum work. Locum work pays extremely well...

hahahahahhahaha gold

Can't say i'm a big fan of the TT mate. Dunno why, just has a feminine look about it in my eyes. :) P.S-It's interesting to note that the vast majority of those suggesting I should buy the car if really want it are motoring enthusiasts.

Wow. Thanks to everyone that replied with their 2cents. As I stated in my original post, i really respect the opinions of people on this forum. Anyways, let me just make a few points. 1. Me stating my salary was not some lame attempt at showing off. I am fully aware that my salary is nothing...

This is not a cheap attempt at getting some attention..... Basically i'm 26 yrs old and started working in 2007 as a doctor. This yr (2008) i will prob earn around the 150k mark, could prob earn a bit more if worked hard by doing extra shifts etc etc. Basically i don't have a property...
