Wouldn't it be nice to get what we want without selling our soul in the process? In our pursuit of financial success, we often walk a fine line between using money as a tool, and becoming addicted to it in the process. Recently, I've been thinking about this idea of money addiction. Maybe this explains
In 2025 we might see the best investments returns ever. Then again, we may have a total shocker - you never can tell, because most things that dictate returns we can't control, and often the things we can control, we don't. Oh, but that's why it's so much fun! But welcome to '25. I'm
I dragged my eldest kid out fishing recently for some good ol' fashioned father son bonding time. There’s nowhere better to be than on the water. Of course he complained the entire time - bored out of his skull. It didn’t help that the fish weren’t biting, but come on kid, I’m trying to have
Success with property requires just 3 moves: Buy, Hold, and Sell. To help with these three moves, we need to study cause and effect within the economy.

All by watching a few YouTube videos. It looks great. My wife hates the ‘truck stop’ smell, but there's something satisfying
I realise not everyone has kids, especially around the age where they’re experiencing their firsts, so bear with me and this analogy. I still remember what it was like coaching our newborns through their very first Christmas. They have absolutely no idea what’s going on. The decorations, shrubs inside the house, the freaky old man
Bitcoin is a form of digital money, which is similar to gold in many ways. One of the most important attributes of Bitcoin is that it affords the holder of it, the ability to become the bank (in a way). There are many benefits to owning Bitcoin, and it’s more than just ‘number go up’.
Good news: If you’re looking to buy your first home, or take another step, there are easy times to break in, and we may be in one of them now. Housing downturns, recessions, or economic uncertainty, present ways to climb up the property ladder. The only issue is, not many people take advantage of it.
What’s the value of wealth if achieving it comes at the expense of our freedom to choose. My wife and I recently hit a milestone – we're halfway prepared for our future. It took about 15 years to get here. Keep earning, control our spending, and test our assumptions -If that's all we do from here, we're
