I love buying sh*t! We have an awesome lifestyle but we've had to pull it back a bit since all but 1 of my shares have taken a big hit. Since then I've been doing the ING account...Lifestyle is king!

BAman Member 133 Member For: 19y 11m 16d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 15/08/08 12:05 AM Posted 15/08/08 12:05 AM I've been investing in property and shares for more the 20 years now with property being the prime investment and has worked out very well for me.I retired from fulltime work two years ago at the age of 37 to concentrate on more property development.My wife will soon leave her job aswell but waiting for her long service leave to build up.You have to think of where you want to be in say 15 to 20 years time. Investing IMO is a long time proposal and should benefit you in your later years.

I probably wouldn't throw my money in there at the moment, as I can see some tough times ahead and as a result, many will be sitting on their cash. It'll make it harder for these up & comers to get funding. If I was mid-renovations at home and spending new XR6T-type $ figures on our wedding in December, I might just give it a fling as a bit of a punt. :hiwelcome:
