    Calm down? I am not wound up! You are an absolute fool, you are just trying to back down now, what a loser you are. The only reason that I mentioned the properties is that I know it winds you up, you are pathetic.

    And you sir, are very rude. I refuse to converse further with an individual of such limited rhetorical means.

    Good day!

    Like I said, you were just backing down, pathetic! You were never 'conversing' with me, you were insulting me from your first post, why pretend otherwise, then assume to be affronted?

    Well that's a relief....

    That Graham, is exactly how I would speak to fools like him in real life (not just on the internet), I don't have to be wound up to face down moronic fools, I do it as a matter of course.

    Try and make more of your own life instead of blaming others for being a failure and a bitter loser.

    Success is often driven by feelings of inadequacy. Lots of successful people, however confident they might appear, are torn by anxious feelings about not being good enough.

    Even John Lennon had it apparently. It's actually hard to be a successful outlier without worries of inadequacy pushing you forward.

    Self doubt is good, people don't do it enough.

    The downside is that sometimes those that are successful sometimes never actually truly feel it and in those occasions you can see them doing things like fighting over a credit for a song when really they don't need any more credit than they could possibly ever get.
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    Linda I actually thanked one of your posts, I had to though, because you nailed it.

    Well I am certainly not accepting the label that you are trying to attach to someone so:

    Ruggedtoast might well feel inadequate, but I'm not convinced he is 'successful'.

    presumably failure is driven by adequacy

    Don't let the Graham drag you down to his level, chuck.

    You are an inspiration to many here. Have a good day!
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    I am way past 'content enough', as I said on another thread I am probably going to start selling next year (if the tenants in the property that I have elected to sell first gave me notice now, I would actually put it straight on the market).

    I am taking time off, I am retiring next summer. I am not trying to compound a fortune, there is already one there, but obviously some thought and an exit plan is required to dispose of the properties, you don't just blunder through it. I am not trying to get 6%, I am happy with the (approx) 3.6% that is available from dividend income, and I will probably invest in corporate bonds too.

    I'd advise against investing in something inversely correlated with interest rates while we're at record lows :)
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
