Well if you take the general perception of most who have made fortunes in real estate I think there would be some merit and a good deal of reason to the idea.

I agree with that, I think five to seven years for any more substancial growth is agreed pretty much right across the board with regard to real estate. It is one thing for all of us over the years to give ideas for strategies etc but now really is the time to pay attention, because we see the...

A lot of generalisations there!, everyone I think has aquaintances or freinds from all ends of the spectrum, I think the fact that you have or don`t have money doesn`t allow us to judge one way or the other. Many have money and lose it through circumstances which may or may not be within thier...

It`s not wrong at all, it becomes wrong when it becomes and obsession to the detriment of others, be it family, friends or others. We all show greed to some extent at one time or another but it needs to be controlled or it becomes self destructive. Before you know it you start to look down on...

I would say that it was more a burning desire to acheive something than greed. Edison would never have persisted so long for the sake of money, there were many many times where what he was pursuing seemed crazy or completely impossible, it takes a lot more than greed to continue on in those...

Hi Marc I gave some thought to what you said in this post and of course this is true to an extent, but really it is not that simple. Which is why a forum like this needs some balance from so called D&G`s. Problem is it becomes a mental baiting game where one section points the finger at the...

Well you have got guts and I hope it does work out ok, for all our sakes. I have certainly seen better opportunities, given hindsight of course. You could quite easily turn out to be totally correct though that is not at all inconceivable. I am glad to have sold what I have but the timing...

I don`t make the rules, life is not good to those who are open to the notion that greed is good. Of course it is good to want things, there is no problem with this, this is what our society is built on, it is not perfect but it`s not bad, there needs to be a balance but it needs to err on the...

Steal it from others and ration it back to them?, only one thing is certain it will be RATIONED .:D How much will be enough before you start to give to others anything at all?. It is written in stone you don`t need money to make others lives grander. Many refer to the very memorable quote of...

Hi Weg well it is a fine line. I am not saying nor have I ever said that trying to be financially independant is wrong or even really a problem morally or whatever. It is the fine line we cross when it becomes an allconsuming self interested obsession to the point we tread on others or use it...

Not so much direct comments but underlying and very real attitudes, it is rampant. This forum was built on it. So you all agree then that this perception would be not a real healthy one?. I am not saying it is the worst thing in the world just that it is not productive and it is 100%bogus.

Bloody amazing.:rolleyes:

Hi Jo, there has always been a smug element on the forum, that look down on others that are in unfortunate circumstances or say that there is enough room in the world for all to be rich and successful but this just is not right even a good thing to believe, it is actually counterproductive to a...

Gday Keith, no just plain old common sense although what you mentioned is already being factored in by anyone with any sense, it may or may happen but to ignore it and have your head in the clouds is proving to be less than truly wise would you not agree?. And as far as super goes, it may be a...

I dont drop in to this forum much anymore as it has become obvious what a winners positive attitude can backfire and that a lot of what has become accepted as written in stone around here by the "winners brigade" has come to a very.....painful reality. As being one of the long time "negative...
