We'll that's what I was 'more' than just insinuating in my last statement, if you read what I wrote... Toucheee...

Aaron, I only asked what conversations you had with your wife and family because I believed you would consider most conversations you did have with them not involving investing or money to be productive to you. I was only curious as to why this value wasn't extended to friends?

Agree vincenzo. At the end of the day it comes down to what value you place on family and friends, and which takes precedence money, or time 'chilling' with them.

Actually I do believe you. Some apps are pretty impressive. It's just that no adult has ever discussed phone apps or free facebook on phone plans with me.

Hang out or work with some older people jaycee, and it's problem solved :p.

Just curious what conversations you have with your wife and family :confused:. We're all different I suppose - I doubt it's a gender thing. I don't catch up with friends to discuss how to make money, or because the time spent with them is financially productive. To me that is superficial...

I've got a couple of people on to the road to investing. One was a girl I see infrequently, mid 40's at the time, renting a then 10 year old villa type 'housing trust' home in a new estate, earning around 70K a year. She told me this particular day how she'd missed the boat with marriage...

Agree. When I wrote the last post I was thinking more of other things, not so much IP's. Mother I know who bores everyone because she talks about her son's accomplishments CONSTANTLY (true - nice kid but like every other). Mother at the school, at the end of the day, sigh's, because she's...

You could be onto something there wylie. I refrain from saying things to people too, and when I think about it, it's so I don't appear like the very people I hate listening to. Everyone knows people like this - trying to impress or wanting to feel more superior/accomplished. These...

I do a catchup lunch about 4 times a year with 4 other girls, who between us have around 18 properties (20+ inc. granny flats), and we very rarely talk about IP's socially, unless we have a doozy tenant story or someone has just purchased. Why do you think this is dumbing down? I think...

There are a few people with investment properties at my work which most people know about, but they don't talk about them at any great length, even with other investors. There are others into hobby farms, salsa dancing, and even darts, and they don't talk about those things either, as not...
