P.S. Totally relate to drinking your own GJ’s dry if you had one Dubstep! My good old Aldi coffee machine gets a great work out as it is… tastes just as good too!!

Great thread guys. Interesting reading everyone’s plans & stories on retirement. For me, I reckon it’s all about enjoying & living your life to the full as much as possible now too, while working smarter (thinking IPs!) instead of harder.

Out of 12 years, 6 months agoHi Freckle,
Out of curiosity, do you have any IPs at all?
I’m thinking probably not considering your comment… “virtually every major economy is near collapse simultaneously”.
If you do have IPs, I’m stumped as to where you have invested?

Right now the market in Emerald is very tight – see recent posts from others on Emerald… places are selling like hot cakes at the mo so I doubt there would be much room for discounting. For us personally (we’re in the process of purchasing an off the plan villa) we didn’t have the luxury of time to negotiate otherwise we would have missed out -…[Read more]
