Nope, just upped it again for some reno's...

And keep buying toys and dicking around with 2 bikes, 4 4wds etc...

Hobbies just suck up the funds

I'll be ****ed if I don't own my home by 30, the next step will be the old mans place and by that time, I should have saved most of the extra 100k

Dude... I've owned 7 already

The house doesn't really worry me....

But my share portfolio does, and I've been working on that sucker a lot!

I purchased my current house for 1/3 of its current value, and just added $40k to the mortgage to do a fair renovation on some of it..

Including a 4 bay workshop and 12x8m cottage out back.

I'm not worried I have never sold one of my houses for less than double what it owed me...

But your aim is true.... I owned my first house in under 3 years....

Not me, I sustain a low income lifestyle Iza tight ass

Yeah!!! Wise move, I wish I was that disciplined...

I'm really lucky I guess... I had an early breakdown / midlife crisis at 32

Walked out of a strong job and travelled for 3 months up the East coast.

Then went looking to leave Adelaide and move to a slower pace...

Whyalla came knocking But ended in near tragedy..

My job was redundant after 4 months and nearly lost a lot.... Tightened the purse strings for 6 months, I can tell you it was not fun..

But it was a good life experience, and I'm better for having gone through it...

Many of the AULRO guys trusting my upgrades actually saved my backside, Thanks Guys.

But the key thing is the lifestyle I have now...

3 1/2 hours to a major city, 45 minutes from the Flinders...

Cost of living is easier here, my long range tank gets filled once a month, I'm 6 minutes from work on the bike, and 1 street from the beach (can see it from my back windows).

I wouldn't change that for the world...

And around here we have the best 4wdriving and to top it off...
Great long roads for the Cruiser to go out...

Nothing clears the head like cruising along on a big V-Twin...
