Elysium- thanks for the wine tip :o) Mostly i don’t drink actually- it makes me a bit sick, and I don’t really like the taste of wine, beer, champagne. Occasionally, i’ll have a lemon ruski or something to mask the taste of alcohol.
Three weeks until i go to austria, so i’m trying to deny temptation in a variety of ways

Phil,
I love getting up in the mornings- but only on holidays! [
]I start work late and end work late, so it’s not much of an issue for me. I’ve found though, that going to the gym makes me super tired. It also really regulates my body about eating properly etc.
Activity in the evenings will make you feel like going to bed earlier, and wake up earlier with a lot more energy.
If you have constant fatigue though, consult your physician [

“scandalously cheap”- nice phrase Elysium
Steve’s book was written about property before the prop boom, so that has to be taken into account re cashflow pros.
Similarly with neg geared props, however. You need to look not just at how property *has* increased, but also, how it might increase in value in the future. As we are not all born with psychic abilities, you will probably need to think about immigration, population, employment etc.
But i believe that post-boom is all going to be about the old rule of RE- “location location location”, and that Aussies still have a love affair with the beach. We have an ageing population, and the notion of “sea change” was not made up. Noone talks about “outback change” so presumably, people are not all paking up their bags and moving to the outback.
Look at what’s happening *now*- not what happened 4 years ago. Old rules are gonna be under scrutiy, as we look at new realities. If prices fall, are they gonna fall for reasonably priced IP’s in great locations? I doubt it. But then again, two for one prices are always tempting
Your own psychology and risk assessment will determine what you do.

Getting employee of the month is a fantastic achievement :o) I would be incredibly proud if I were you! Sometimes the reward is not always in the envelope. It can be intrinsic, and I imagine it would look very good on your resume if you were dissatisfied with your current job- good for you [
]As for getting 286 IP’s … well, good luck… If you’re new to this board, you can check out poster’s stories- many are so pleased to get their first IP. I have this philosophy in life to be satisfied with where I am. It means that I try to stay happy. “Striving” means that I am never satisfied- it works for me. 286 IP’s means that you may not be satisfied if you have “only” 10 IP’s. I hope that doesn’t happen for you
At the age of 37, I believe that if I live according to the principles I have, then I have to be realistic about what I will have. The more important things to me are that my partner is proud of me, my family, my colleagues, and my friends. Most importantly, that I am proud of myself. When you get your first IP, you should be proud too! Also, maybe think of getting a job you love- that will take the pressure off getting those 286 IP’s.
Best of luck with it.

Seems like we have some vast interest amongst the group
)And yes, Matt- i do love my work, but I said we couldn’t talk about work for this topic [:p]
I also like playing my harmonica, going for long drives, spending time with my family when I can- but they are far away, so it only happens a few times a year :o(
Come on folks- what makes you happy? What gives you that liberated feeling and takes the pressures off you?
Let’s face it… whilst we all love property, being in so much debt etc, can be a pressure. What do we do to alleviate that, and feel the joy of life?

Rugby, yeah, I guess I’ll be skiing- even though I’ve never done so
I’ve never actually been out of Australia- so this will be all new for me.I am going to hang out with the charming miss monika- she lives there, so we’ll be doing some wintery things- plus the usual things- going to bdsm gigs there, spending time with her friends, and making up for the time we’ve been away from each other [:X]
