Thanks Tim,

I only have one -ve geared property at the moment so am a long way off financial independence also.

I need to work out a plan as well so it may be a while before I am free of the “restraints” of working life!

Trisha[biggrin]

My excuses are endless im afraid,

*No time

*Not enough knowledge(yet)

*No support (well maybe only a little)

In short I am thoroughly confused about investing at the moment and so am doing my homework first, getting ideas and creating a network from whom I can gather help in my journey.

Hopefully soon I will be able to get into…[Read more]

This is an interesting thread! I dont think I would be able to sell parts of my pysical aura to make money regardless of the price!

I have been trying to think of new ideas people will pay money for ie new products/inventions like the juice bars that are taking off.

If I could create and run my own empire that would be great, as I LOVE to keep…[Read more]

I think I would like my weekly passive income to be at least $2000 this would enable me to do all the things I dream of.

As for how many houses? I think I’d need about 25 houses maybe more.

I havent exactly worked out a strategy yet for achieving this as I am still gaining all the knowledge i can in order to make it happen.

I dont think being…[Read more]

I must confess [blush2] I occasionally get the “retail therapy” bug, and when I do, look out!!!

My most recent splurge was a professional timber bar (the kind that has the place to hang your wine glasses, beer tap etc)
which I think was a bargain at $1000.

Im not really a person who buys coffee every day, I save it up and then whammo! spend it…[Read more]

Hi Greg,

I personally also think some sort of mentoring is a good idea, as finding your way can be pretty hard work and scary, especially if you are a baby investor [baby] like me!

I am always welcoming good advice although sometimes I find it hard to tell whats good and whats not!

Finding a knowledgable person who would like to help is my idea…[Read more]

No you havent got it wrong Geo,

Im going to the second round as I missed out on the first one on the 14th

Trisha[biggrin]

When Im not working at the Library (I LOVE my job)

I’m landscaping our backyard (Cert in Horticulture and Landscape Gardening), and generally enjoying my garden, having Cocktail Parties (with the help of my new bar) fine dining and going out for coffee with friends (I’d like to have more time to do this!) looking after the menagerie (chooks,cats,…[Read more]

Thanks Steve,

Ill keep an eye out for any upcoming events!
Hopefully I wont miss out next time!

Trisha[biggrin]

Newgen,

Sounds like you have a lot of support round you when you need it most, its unfortunate you lost your wallet (frightening feeling[anxious])
but think of the benefits this challenge has brought you – love and support, a better memory (we hope?[biggrin]) and new found friends.

To quote a song I like “Cant you see, lifes easy, when you…[Read more]

So who wants to organise a day?

I dont mind doing it if everyone can agree on a day/time, Ive got some hols coming up late Oct (finally!) so any time then would be fine for me!,

any other thoughts peoples, ie where to meet?

Trisha[daisy]

I agree with Kirsten, Freddie, Lynette and Pam!

Such wisdom from ones so young!

I think Ive seen these somewhere before Emc, maybe in the Herald Sun? Great Idea to post them on the forum!

Trisha[angel]

Anyone else miss out because they couldn’t get the link up?[angry2]

By the way, perhaps I can catch up with all you Melbournites that go and find out how it went?

Shame I cant purchase an autographed book Steve…

Trisha

I would like to know how it is done, but Im not too good at the trading thing so will stick with property and be happy with making money SLOWLY for the short term anyway,

Im not into risking my health/stress levels…

Trisha[confused2]

Good one Emc,

Luckily there arnt too many out there like that one…

Trisha[cap]

I agree to waysolid, why accumulate wealth to horde it!

The best feeling in the world comes from giving or doing a good turn for someone,

How many selfish people do you know that are happy?

Trisha[eh]

Good idea Helen,

Although I will have to make sure its not one of the Sundays I work.

Im working Sun 26th, and the 3rd of October, otherwise after that may be good…

Trisha[^]

Sunday’s out for me, Tuesday might be good,

but where do we meet depends where we all are geographically, PM me where you live and we can brainstorm a place to meet in the middle of where we all are…

Trisha[biggrin]

Ok I was able to access the site now,
but missed out

Trisha[bawl]

I also cannot access the site to order tickets, let me know when its fixed Steve!
