Best things you've done so far in 2017

Thse are (in my mind), the best things I've done in 2017:

1. Gone to Peter Thornhill day in Sydney! Really enthusiastic... playing around with super too. Huge impact.
2. Negotiated work contract, more money, got more responsibility and exposure to everything going on at work. Really enjoying it. And I have an idea for my future work for later down the track.
3. Checked out Geelong.

I suppose that list is a little bit on the "lean" side (I tried to pull out equity about 4 weeks back... its not going to happen unless I go with the likes of Liberty, and I'm not going to do that....), but let's see what happens the rest of 2017....
Ps. Volleyball is going well, as always. And so is our house.

 

Decided to pull the pin where we live now and follow the dream to live nearer to the coast yet still have some land to play with like 8 acres on the Nambucca river.

Continuing the drive to reduce debt and become independent from banks and APRA (the new threat to investors).

There will be a backlash, of sorts. Lets wait and see which sort it will be eh?

 

Moved into our fairytale art nouveau house with the man of my dreams.
Making more art.
Making new friends.
Not taking any nonsense.

 

I've done nuffin' this year.

Launched my startup, after doing all the prep-work in 2016

 

My wife had our first born.
Life changing.
Not just best thing in 2017, but one of the best things ever. I've always looked forward to being a dad.
Now I am one it's awesome.

I've also started my blog as part of a multi part business plan.

Good year so far

Edit: totally forgot,
Lots of landscaping. getting my veggie and fruit gardens going!

 

Moved into new PPOR in Adelaide
Started renovating
Mowed, and mowed, and mowed.... and then mowed some more

Oh and helped lots of investors find great properties

 

nailed cooking a shakshuka for the first time. T'was glorious!

 

I had to Google that....

 

It's So good!
We break a few geographical boundaries and serve it with a side of fried halloumi.

 

1. Started the year finishing my cycling trip in Cuba
2. The Peter Thornhill Course in Sydney
3. Sorted out a feaso. Now it's popcorn time waiting for the market to move.
4. Hiking up at the Warrumbungles
5. Went to Perth and Rottnest Island. Awesome to met some PC crew over there.
6. Generally networking with some awesome PC crew.

 

Not in any particular order; just as they came into my head:

1. Celebrated first anniversary on PC
2. Put a PC member up for a night for free
3. Became my wife's personal assistant.

Planning to have a bigger year next year

 

Year is going nice for me

- Doing my first subdivision
- Went to WetnWild with the wife (on a day when no one was really there so it felt like a huge playground just for us. We got cheap tix too!)
- I refinanced out of Liberty (got the approval email today)...I have been trying since Dec 2016, it felt like forever
- Learnt a few new advanced classical songs on piano

Seems like Peter Thornhill made a big impact for many. When is he doing another one in Sydney?

 

Started road racing.
Finished a few developments, others in progress, and lining up a few more for later this year/early next year.
Finding time to do my day job.

 

Firstly congrats on the refinance out of Liberty!
Peter's next scheduled Sydney events are in August and November. Book through the Sydney Uni Continuing Education website, search for "Investing for long term gains".

 

Best thing for me was getting the all-clear after an anxious wait following a call back from Breastscreen.

Went to Kennett River over the Labor Day weekend with family...lots of koalas, feeding parrots, bike rides, sight seeing, body surfing (bit cold but still smashed it), and liver destruction.

 

We became totally debt free at 36, we are both working less and having more family holidays. Started investing seriously with shares!! We really do live in a great country.

 

Fulfilled mum's final wish

 

get some goats... or sheep..
