That's the spirit mate! The advice I gave was for myself as well. Need to remind myself from time to time to keep focused on the positives.
All the best for you and the family.

Got one of those big time. Only reason she forced her other half to retain their townhouse when they bought a new PPOR was due to hubby and I having two investment properties (therefor she must have two properties). She's tried to discourage me from starting my business constantly. And was majorly stressed that I got married before her (due to her being 6months older than me, and being with her partner 6months longer than me).
Keeping up with the joneses to the Nth degree.
I love talking to her every so often - it's a great reminder of what I don't want my life to become!
I just always make sure if I'm going to have a chat to her, that I have one scheduled with an investor friend soon afterwards!

Hi Mooze
strategy! I can see that you have a good psychology strategy as well as the physical stamina to see it through. I hope your PPOR is finishing?
Hi Francesco
No PPOR for us - just the two IP's at the moment. We'll keep renting for a while, but buying IP's in general, but also specifically in areas we want to live (if the numbers stack up of course!). Just gotta figure out where we want to live!
With the strategy, it's all about making sure I've got a lift up and something positive happening after something fairly negative - it ensures even if I start to drift into her mindset I'll get pulled out of it pretty quickly!

It only motivates me more to prove them wrong
Me too!
Stay positive and stay focused. The right job is out there for you. You'll show him!

Do it your way
Hi Daniel,
Agree to disagree on that score with you friend. Keep your aspirations of $ucce$$ to yourself and only share with like-mindeds who will celebrate you like most here in this community.
Never let the good opinion of others become your reality.........others will always create your world too small.

Go and achieve what ever you desire and believe you deserve

no, it's always been religion, politics and money... no-one cares or thinks about sex as taboo in this day and age (unless it's peadophilia or bestiality).
Get with the times pops
To the OP, maybe your mate was just trying to give you a reality check or avoid damage to his ego. if you have goals and more wealth than him perhaps it's a jealousy thing. I wouldn't take it personally and now you know he's someone not to discuss wealth creation topics with. But don't forget you are mates with him for reasons other than things based on money so don't let it ruin your friendship.
Are the neg people over-achievers?
No.
I've only ever encountered one type of person who is successful - doers and positive.
Hi, Shuggy
I think my friend was simply concerned about my welfare, or he thought I should not be better than him since he went to a private school while I went public. Who knows.
We are all good now, and he has expressly informed me that he does not want to discuss about taboo topics, especially money. He would rather enjoy our friendship as it is, built on the foundations of boozes, cigars and mindless banter.
As for me, I have moved on with my first tenant having just moved in over the weekend and my IP increasing in value.
Regards
Daniel

I really stopped and thought when I read this. It's a very profound truth, and something to think about.
seems you and i have a lot in common.
...possibly.
There are a number of people who post here that I'd love to have a beer with. And you're one of them.
