The Choices Challenge
An oft-repeated topic on PropertyTalk is why do people get into PI.
An oft-repeated response is the choices which come from passive
investment income.
What choices?
Those who have read a certain book will recall the tale of the Land
of the Flat. To me: the saga of the endlessly moving goalposts.
When does one stop moving the goalposts? When is one There?
Where is there? (In relation to choices or whatever.)
So one gave up the daily coffee and muffin breaks and saved for
an investment PI. Then came another. And another. Now those
choices are real and present. A muffin and coffee every day is
easily afforded. How long before one tires of that option?
What then?
Wine with dinner every night, instead of just on weekends? Per-
haps dinner out once a week instead of once a month?
Where to once the choices are here and the challenge is no more?
