    i got a quote recently for 200sqm of lawn/retic and a bit of paving. $33 000 + GST.

    It has inspired me to do it myself.

    Attitude...

    It is the advance man of our true selves.
    Its roots are inward, but its fruit is outward.
    It is our best friend or our worst enemy.
    It is more honest and more consistent than our words.
    It is an outward look based on past experiences.
    It is a thing which draws people to us or repels them.
    It is never content until it is expressed.
    It is the librarian of our past.
    It is the speaker of our present.
    It is the prophet of our future .

    One from a friend who posted in facebook. "Sad fact of life".


    And I think the vast majority here don't think in this way...
    I will agree though how hard you work does not necessarily relate to how rich you are... some of the hardest workers are very poor!

    Oh well. Many people don't invest past super. One of my brother in laws and a sister do not want to borrow money.
    Oh well... can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink...

    Gotta work hard on the right plan in order to be financially secure or wealthy.

    Problem is most people have been sold hook, line and sinker on the wrong plan.

    I could try to explain why using OPM is a good thing, but will they change their mindset?
    Then you get all the standard objections...
    I'd have to really sit them down and explain the power of leverage, plant that seed....
