My Situation

Though I intended to make mostly issue based posts because this is a personal finance blog, I think I should write more about my own finances. Currently I'm making a small part time income. In fact I've never made a high income in my life, however for the last ten years or so I've been saving a good percentage of what I make and have substantial cash savings, a half share in a house and another fully owned house.

I've taken advantage of my circumstances and lived and on the family farm and worked and was able to save hard by having low costs. Also the housing market has been vibrant here in Invercargill for many years, though I wished I has invested earlier when it was still possible to have a cash flow postive house.

I sold a house earlier this year and am waiting for the dust to settle on the current economic situation to see how best to invest the money I made on it.
