    I've just come back from a 8 mile walk in the countryside with my dog, and I'm going out again with him and my wife for a gentler hour long walk mid afternoon, followed by a game of bowls. What's your plans for today? It is coming up to noon, have you actually done anything yet?


    Wow, you really are a star, have a badge....

    People on benefits have more interesting days than you, stop parading about on the internet as if you are some kind of "Winner" or financial guru :rotfl: and start realising that there are more ways to be financially secure than hoarding property (in fact hoarding property is now officially the best way NOT to be financially secure)

    Investment property only stores 30% of my wealth.
    My wealth is currently stored as:

    30% BTL equity
    29% Shares (incl SIPP/ISA)
    20% Home equity
    11% Savings accounts (unusually high due to waiting to upsize home)
    10% DB pension

    It should change to something like this in about a year, after we have bought our next home, sold our current home and I've sold another investment property:

    38% Shares (incl SIPP/ISA)
    22% BTL equity
    20% Home equity
    10% DB pension
    6% Bonds
    2% Savings accounts
    2% P2P

    I have more money invested in shares than I do in investment property.


    Sorry I only had the one badge.

    At least that's more than how many properties you own.

    That is the sort of guff Hamish used to spout :rotfl: As I say, this unknown and pointless little corner of the internet is always good for a laugh ;)

    What would be good, instead of playground banter with the resident multi - millionaire keyboard guru, would be an update direct from Crash- Central by the main man himself, Hamish "King of the Rents" McTavish?

    Are you going to respond to my comeback to you about me wasting my time here, when I pointed out that you post 44% more posts on here than I do?

    Or have you just conceded that point?

    I bet you spring up the next time I post, which could be at any random time in the future, you lurk under the surface all day long, just admit it, you were posting on here from a cinema queue not long ago for gawds sake.

    We have already established that you post more than I do.

    Not from a queue, it was from my seat before the movie started. More interesting than watching the adverts before the movie starts, don't you think, or do you find adverts really interesting for gawds sake :rotfl: and if I recall correctly that was me responding to you once again saying I am on here posting everyday, when in fact you are here more, and I was just killing time before a movie was about to start.
