    i agree richmond 75k is great for anyone.

    in my experience though – earning a salary will not make you too wealthy even if you save. being an investor and getting an inheritance are the best ways to become financially indepandant.

    what also works for me is not wanting much – you become wealthy alot quicker that way

    congrats richmond – how much they paying you??

    just kidding!!

    100 k package is not so unusual these days.

    middle to upper management.

    the average family with 2 working parents pulls in around 70k i think.

    angie sounds like yr in a great position.

    reducing your overall debt is not a bad idea.

    maybe you could sell the one or two that arent performing quite aswell as the others.

    otherwise sit back and watch the cash come in…

    ref china – i agree housesonly. bare in mind however that the huge players are already there and in a big way. the likes of BHP, rio tinto,
    MIM etc etc

    China has kept the raw commodity market in shape while the USA and Eurpoe have floundered.

    i agree with all the above comments

    only thing i would say is that although the usa is sluggish dont underestimate the huge impact of China.

    our exports to china are huge as they undertake massive expansion.

    shane b

    the problem was you used the 12 second rule.

    i know you are big advocate in doing things differently but that extra second can be a killer.

    best of luck in the future

    hi all

    sure the boom will probably continue for a while – why wouldnt it. i noticed however he never said there would not be a bust!

    if the market levels out for say 5 years, to me that is the same as a 30 pct bust in yr 1 and then average grwoth fro 4 years.

    especially when yr getting level or no real returns when other nvestors mught be getting 10-20 pct. Just like if you had shares now instead of property.

    lets see anyway. in truth i have exposure in a few markets (property, equities, gold etc).

    go bombers!

    cheers
