Well I’m back after 3 days in Perth at Jamie McIntyre’s seminar. Had a great time and learnt a lot. There were some great speakers such as Mal Emery, Jennie Armato, Tom Hua, Mark Rolton and Jamie McIntyre to name a few. I learnt plenty and have come back all fired up and ready to go. If you are interested in learning more, just check out my website.

From when we are very small we are taught to buy the house, get married, have kids and live happily ever after,(not necessarily in that order).
We go to school and learn to read and write and endless other subjects such as languages, science, biology, geography and history. What for?? Will it make us more intelligent? Earn more money? (Usually the more that you earn the more that you pay in tax).
What we are never taught about is MONEY and it is such a major part of our lives. We have to live somewhere and eat and these basic necessities cost money. How do we save money, pay the house off, get the car, send the kids to university? It is a struggle for a lot of people just to hold their head above water.
What generally happens is that we do exactly as our parents did before us, we spend a life time paying off a mortgage and then we are dead, (hopefully in that order!!).
I think that we should be taught about money in schools. We should be taught how to save, how to work our money hard and not our bodies. At the moment the only winners are the banks.
What do you think?
Hi and Welcome
My name is Janis Donaldson and I am new to this blogging so you will have to be gentle with me. I am at present living in Bunbury, Western Australia. The weather is freezing at present and even more noticable for me as we have been living up in the north of the Western Australia for the past 13 years, (the average temperature in the north is about 35 C). I have had the fire cranked up for the last 3 months, mind you most of the people from around this way are walking around in t shirts so maybe it’s me and my thin blood……..can blood really be thin or fat ?????
Well the topic for my first post is about the greatest investment we will make. As a baby boomer, which makes me no spring chicken, (mind you maybe a bit of a chicken so my grandson reckons and some days the spring just isn’t quite there), we live in an entirely different world. But the strange thing is that though the world is different, people are basically doing the same thing. What I mean by that is that we still work, eat, sleep and play, (the order largely depends on your age and inclination!)
We all dream of the ideal life, the great house, the holidays, the new car, buying what we want when we want, the list is endless. But 97% of us end up with the mortgage or renting, car payments, holidays when we can afford them…….. But why??? I think that a lot of it has to do with what we are taught/told……….go to school, get a good job and work for the rest of your life, (that is an over simplification!).
Why shouldn’t we be part of that 3 % who live their lives the way that we only dream about? What makes them different ? What is holding us back? I would have to say from my own experience that it is fear, plus feeling comfortable. It is much easier to go with what we know than try something different, (more so when you are in your autumn years!).
Often we are the last person to spend time or money on. When was the last time you did something for yourself for no reason other than that you could…..
Often we ignore our Greatest Investment……………….Ourselves. Read the rest of this entry »
