    Probably decants Four Pillars into a Bombay Sapphire bottle to make people think he is discerning on taste.

    Or the reverse of filling a Glenlivet bottle with Johnny Walker Red label. It's been done :D - not by me though as I don't drink whiskey.

    Oh man, if I found one like that I'd buy it in a heartbeat and gift it to my best enemy.

    We had some family who invested in four pillars, provided seed capital. They are still smiling after half was sold to Lion.

    Guessing my ARG returns pale in comparison!

    2019 was a tough year for me, this year I came to the realisation that I needed help with my mental health and sought help and am actively working on improving my life for the better.
    2020 for me will be about continuing down the long path I have to walk to get well, paying another 15k additional repayments on my IP loans to bring the weighting down to 60% LVR and continue to save for my dream PPOR property of 20-50 acres around the Bendigo area. (This will hopefully be achieved around 2022).

    Great thread @Big A!

    For me (not in order):

    - Get BMI down to mid-high teens (at 23 now)
    - Continue working on controlling my GAD (which happens for NO reason)
    - Buy another IP
    - Start at least 1 online business
    - Move (i.e rent) to the SE/E Melbourne suburbs for better schools for the kids

    2019 was a tough year, I had 2 jobs (sometimes 3, granted the $$ were *******' excellent). Supported the wife through her on/off PND and the loss of her dad. Did MUCH more than my fair share of house work as a result.

    I'm doing a PhD in international biz ~ specifically on sustainability actions of Japanese multinationals in SE Asia. I'm doing it mainly due to new accreditation requirements to keep teaching at uni.....
