Re: Obessesion With Houses and Money
We bought our little house in Adelaide for $225,000 in 2007.
Should we be proud, ashamed, or just plain grateful?

Make sure you retain all your assets and don't get carried away on the percieved 'wealth' you have.[/QUOTE]
I dont get 'carried away with anything' and dont really need your advice as I find it quite 'sarcy; Can tell me why????

Dear Moneypen
Could I suggest that it is not just you who are operating in a paralell universe? I believe that the OP is in another universe and is sufferring from SMS or some other form of inferiority complex as well as disillusional and psycotic tendencies.
If I have to operate in such an environment, may I please join your universe!!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaa...like it!!!

I have noticed, and probably mentioned that Aussies aren't backwards about telling you how 'rich' they are. I've had work meetings with colleagues who've started talking about how many investment properties they own, how much debt they have on each property.
Maybe its just the scots part of me, but I keep quiet in these meetings, cos I have investment properties too, but its none of their bloody business,
I love it best when they say to me, "oh property is the way to go, you really should take out a loan and buy an investment property"....

Wow, that's nice Vash, where abouts in Adeliade are you if you're still there? Still waiting for visa and house sale but will be heading to there asap. Handed notice in Friday, that was nice.

We considered a fully renovated house of the same size in the same area for around the same price, but it was on a busy intersection.
This one was better value because it's on a quiet corner block, away from the main road. There's a couple of new builds just over the road from our house, which is a good sign.We're still living in the UK; we bought that house in 2007. Planning to be there later this year.
