Well as some of you know I run a business and I employee an apprentice and at the moment he is giving me a headache he is 18years old and a third year.
The story goes he has sold his vehicle recently for $16,000 that he owned under the proviser he was going to buy a house and he purchased a vehicle worth $5000 leaving $11,000 now it has been six months and he has the $11,000 left but no savings other than that.
Aaaannnd he wants to buy another car THAT HE DOESN'T NEED. the one he has is fine and I am going to give him a work ute to use (fairly new very neat hilux). but he can't grasp the concept of he doesnt need this new vehicle that he wants to buy it will cost $8,000.
I have been slowly talking him into buying a house but I sat down and talked to him about it tonight and he keeps on saying I am not ready to COMMIT to a mortage. Well He makes more money than a tradesman down south does as a third year working for me. So he has heaps of surplus cash and good deposit and I'm trying to explain to him that you're not making a big commitment if you rent the property out and service the rest out of you're income.
I feel like he just doesn't believe me and hell it is giving me the shits anyway thats my rant whats people's opinion am I been to hard on him??
