Saw a clip on the barefoot investor today.
Buffet bought his house in 59 I think they said , might have been 69 or somewhere around that, for 32 k I think it was . It's just a simple modest suburban house . He reckons his always been happy in that house so why buy another just because he could , fair enough !
But I wondered , that seems a lot back then in US prices for that type of house and with their bust , all this time later I wonder what it would be worth now.
It seems like you can still get a very nice house for 32k there these days , just curious . I know many have said here that there are huge area factors with the cheap houses over there right now.
He also said his dad told him it doesn't matter what you choose to do in life as long as you follow your passion , the rest will fall into place .
Sounds like a good strategy for life doesn't it , wise words , certainly worked for him. But when I followed mine it sent us broke, so it ain't always as easy or practical as it sounds that's for sure .
Just thoughts
Cheers
