Hey, that makes me "above average" in just about every category
I'm right on average for marital status- but my partner lets me down on the salary department
Me too Geoff, but my wife makes a healthy contribution
Then again I didn't respond with my details. Sorry.

NP, That's what stuck me too.
It'll be interesting to see how the group weathers the next few years, with reduced yield and CG.
The people with more (typically) have been doing it longer, and survived the last downturn.
Some will invariably decide that the yield / cg isn't enough, or with interest rates increasing and neg gearing, let go of things.
Hopefully, the people on this forum at least will be well prepared and informed to handle any downturn.
