Thinking things through

Looking back over decisions that were made can be inspirational.  It is hard to ignore what makes people change their ideas and pattern of life.  This is probably why I have always been curious when talking to people that seem to be wise in their outlook, or maybe more methodical.

Housing and real estate has been interesting to follow for me, since I spotted a scrubby bit of land for cheap in the early 1960, and took a punt on spending the last bit of cash we had that was allocated to buy our first TV.  I am sharing and reflecting now. 

My blog seems popular; people do like the stories; are scared to pay a few dollars for my book which could help them get onto a solid track to becoming a house owner, never mind if it is yet to be your home.  It is very likely that house will not be in a place that you preferred. It is important to move with the market.

Listening to people talk, it is more about their financial situation at the moment and their inability to afford a home.  In the first instance it would be more achievable if the focus was on buying a house, and the home can come later on.  Think about how it would be possible to change the goals, to firstly, get into the market.  Once in the market, the investment value will vary as the market changes. This concept, I believe, would be more achievable.
