Nice to see you have discipline in *some* areas of your life, Celivia [rolleyesanim]
As to layby… the last thing I laybyed (I am sure that’s spelled wrong) was this old computer I am typing on now. Each month, I would go and pay the $88 a month or whatever it was.. X 2 years to pay it off- one of those harvey norman interest free deals that became vogue ten years ago? It actually made me feel good to pay it off, and I got to have the compuer meantime.
Sometimes, we just don’t have the money to pay for stuff front up. I really needed a computer, so that suited me. Had I saved up for it, in the interim I would have been doing without an “essential”. So sometimes, I think these things work.
Generally, I only use credit cards to pay for IP things- quantity surveying coming up (oh dear). That’s a lot of money, and I don’t have the cash- hehe
AS for personal stuff, it’s cash only.kay henry
Felicity,
I didn’t think that was waffle at all- nice post, I thought
)Lucifer, I love that mulletsgalore site- veeeeeeeerry funny :o)) I do not have that kind of mullet
)sizzling_duck, I work in the centre of sydney, at a major urban University – hehe… Ipswich indeed! (not that there’s anything wrong with that!)
Mullets are de rigeur where I work- go figure.

Oh Lucifer!!! You said:
“or mullets, hay it looks really bad on men, I would hate to see a womon with that kind of style *shudder*”
Dear Lucifer, my mullet is one of my favourite things
) I groom it like I groom my IP’s Really, mullets are very urban these days. Every second person in my workplace has one (which is a bit boring for me, because it feels a bit generic).Mullies rock!!

Now let me see… my office wear for today is … acupuncture street shoes, black shiny pants, black shirt, street track jacket… and on the head, caribee baseball cap… Of course, I did actually *choose* this outfit, so it’s not like i fell into it :o)) We wear clothes according to what is appropriate. In my workplace, if I wore a suit, it would be seen as very strange indeed. It would be even stranger if I owned one- hehe.
Remember, a person can wear a suit.. but *for me* they also need to be able to speak well, have good posture, and not wear one of those cheap srinkly suits- not a good look. Nor are cheap shoes.
If I see a RE agent, or anyone I do business with, and they wear a suit but have a sloppy peronality, it is the personality that will leave the impression of them.
SupaFreak… if you are wrapping, I don’t know the kinds of clients you will be dealing with… but I know many people feel comfortable feeling
*equal* to other people. Perhaps smart casual might be better than a suit?Yep, so my business wear is more the homeboy look [cap] I could do drag though and wear a nice skirt, jacket and sensible heels- hehe
) Would be lots of fun! [lmao]kay henry
Well, I do like my big green head. It’s shallow, but so am I
)And every time I see Celivia’s cute kitten with the overalls on, I just feel a warm feeling :o) Cute is as cute does, Celivia- your avatar suits you [goatee]

Pisces :o)
Thanks for your post :o) I see where you are coming from- yes, it is good to have a big sausage- perhaps your bro in law has sausage envy or something- who knows?
I consider myself a positive person. Imagine if someone was told to spend all their money on a lotto ticket- with the possibility of winning money beyond their wildest dreams? There are some people who become victims of scams- it just happens. Lots of pensioners became victims of victor ollis- that’s why he went to jail for 12 years- ripping off pensioners.
Some people see Neil Jenman as “negative”, or perhaps they might see me as “negative” for trying to provide alternative viewpoints about get-rich schemes. I like to think I come from a place of caring- rather than “envying” or some other such thing. There are always two sides to a viewpoint. If someone is going to venture into something that *I* view as “negative” then I feel it is “positive” to provide a different view of it.
When I buy IP’s, I ask the people I care about to discuss it with me. They raise all different points to me, and it makes me look at the deal really scrupulously. I welcome their critique of the deal- it helps me to either defend it, or to realise it might not be a good thing. I see their analysis (even if it’s based upon fear!) as a poisitive in my life- not a negative.
It’s good you got such good value out of the RE stuff on the net, Pisces [biggrin] Tell us what the secrets are
) hehekay henry
sis, funny question really. You’re 21- most guys your age are tenants or live at home- what’s to admit?
I am still a tenant- do I need a support group for it?
and Celivia, I bet you were a naughty tenant who trashed places just for fun… but then came home each day and tidied it up again- hehe

Ted, put away your [glum2] as I was just giving you an explanation of my fundamentals, and hoping, as you did, that you (or others) might give an idea on your own notions of fundamentals :o)
I think there is a difference between what I consider “fundamentals” (usually demographic information) and “considerations” (taxes, state of the market etc).
Oh, in reference to the state of the market now, Pisces… and how much it might fall etc… Well, I’d probably go on Ian McFarlane’s estimate that it has “some way” to fall further. I’d also go the “soft landing” (if you consider 20% a “soft landing”! I don’t really) Some months ago on here, people were referring to reports about RE dropping 20% value, and others were howling them down. Well, in some markets- this HAS occurred. Really, it is no big deal- investors can sit back and enjoy the nature of the market. Works both ways for us
And hat say *you* Mr Pisces? You ask us this controversial question – hehe, get us all fired up, and then disappear? What’s your idea on this?
kay henry
iambored,
The way I work it out is… if I have a genuine *dislike* of someone, and let’s face it- we’re all human, I generally don’t read their post, or engage with whatever it is they have to say- certainly won’t get into an argument with them- it’s not fair if I do- I’m a moderator and can just delete them. And that’s a bit of a crappy way to engage. Argue with someone and then delete them? Not my style.
Thee’s a number of Moderators on here, who can deal with the people who I dislike- they can delete their posts- I’m not gonna. And I expect that if I carry on like a maniac, that I’ll get my posts deleted too- go figure- moderators get moderated too.
iambored, if I think someone just writes provocative posts on here to start arguments, and can’t control themselves to not make personal insults, I don’t even read their posts. There are enough NICE people on here to be able to ignore the ones who are either personally attacking or are constantly spruiking for business.
Anyway, that’s my perspective. All moderators are different, and none of us are probably hugely impartial- we all have different ideas on property, for example, so it’s not like we are all Stepford Wives (or stepford Husbands!) Dunno, it’s just whatever threshhold people can tolerate- sounds like yours is a little low right now

Mel, I would never pick on you :o) You know (I hope) how much I respect you
You are one of the people I have learned so much from around here- I think you’re great! [thumbsupanim]kay henry
Yes, you can only chargewhat the market will pay… but I bet these spruikers were gearing up to charge higher and higher proices until Henry Kae fell down. Already, he was up to charging 50k. Imagine how many MORE secrets you could learn for 100k!!! And here would be people who’s pay it… and they’d walk out thinking they were the “elites”… that;s until the credit card statement came in.
People will pay anything if they think it will help them escape their current rut. It’s *often* the rut and the unhappiness that creates the demand- it’s not just a fiscal thing- it’s unhappiness which is the driver. (I did say often
) Ask a lot of the people who are about to enter the seminars about their lives. I be they come up with a range of personal and financial difficulties which have beset them recently. Seminars can be the perfect escapism- lots of affirmations and being told how other people are “losers” (not you of course- you’re the winner for paying all the money!) Spruikers use a lot of negative motivation. It’s very cruel. Not only to the people who are there (who want to differentiate themselves from the “losers” out there) but also in slagging off people’s dear ones. It’s saying “if your parents, husband. friends, think this idea of spending milliosns is a bad idea then dump them”… it’s very much the amway, cult form of psychological pressuring- if someone is not on your downline, then write them off. I never understand how people fall for such stuff. It’s very mean and divisive.kay henry
