Hi all,
just thought id ramble on and see if anyone else can see where im coming from. Since buying our first property back in 2002 and getting a few more since then i have always stuck to the "we will never sell anything" mantra.
Couple weeks back the idea of cashing in by selling one to help fund a new build project which will be our nice new ppor went from being a definite no no to now the property is on the market.
Initially I felt like it was wrong to even consider selling it to help fund a lifestyle choice to upgrade the ppor....but giving it more thought and consideration...the idea started to grow on me to now be at the point where ive justified it to myself as a good thing to do.
I have always found it hard to balance focusing on the long term financial freedom goal, with living for now....maybe i am learning to do this a little better now.
Anyway, its interesting to self analyse and re assess goals and timeframes....ultimately i am in a much stronger financial position than i was 9 years ago...due to investing inIPs....maybe it is time to live more for now....after all life is a precious gift we are given....and it doesnt last forever.
Does anyone else grapple with the balance of plan for the future vs live for now?
