what the landlords don't realise when they tell everyone else to get on the investment property bandwagon is that if everyone did they would be no renters, these people have ideas above their station, I thought we abolished any notion that being a lord with serfs was something to be proud of back in the 1300s

Buy 1 house, live in it and stop bottom feeding off everyone elses misery.

Ok

The older I get the more I have started to see through all that materialism and started to value the immediate moment of felt experience instead of gazing with regret at the past or standing on tiptoes staring over the wall into the future and projecting unnecessary worry and anxiety into that space.

Instead of seeing life as some competition to see who can grab hold of the most objects and possessions in an attempt to feel secure I am starting to see life as more of a dance, and the point of a dance is not to arrive at a certain spot on the dance floor at the end, the point is the dance itself.

One thing I have learnt as I have gotten older is "Nothing Lasts" not your friends, not your enemies, not your fortune, not you loves not even your dear dear self, all things change, everything ends, degrades, morphs into something else, evaporates.

so the point for me has changed from "what can I get to make things secure forever" to "what do I really want to be doing today that will give me joy right now".

Hope this makes sense, and thank you for listening to the eccentric ramblings of an old ex-pat schoolboy who still wishes he was playing conkers and making bows and arrows in the fields and lanes of the old Devon countryside of long ago.

Capitalism was a big con in my opinion, it failed to deliver the things they promised it would and I have seen through a lot of the doctrine as the shell game that it is.

Love you all.

Maybe some of those "asset rich old folk" should be doing more to help their kids/grand kids get onto the property ladder?

Or maybe these threads are more about "asset poor old folk" who are bitter that they missed the boat?
