1. Yes I enjoy doing the buying, negotiating and trading pretty much more than anything else. Accumulating more money is just a result of doing what I love to do.
2. At the time of writing the update to the book in 2008 that is what I believed at the time, well family anyway. However now I think the opposite, my partner only gets 5 weeks off a year and has already run out of leave.
We’ve done a cruise around Hawaii, a trip to Malaysia to watch the Formula 1 and we're going on a 9 night cruise (14 of us going) in another couple of weeks. That’s all in less than 12 months and we were supposed to be going to Hawaii again for a wedding in the next couple of months but as I say my partner has run out of leave, but mostly doesn’t want to leave the kids behind, or take them out of school again as they are taking 2 weeks out of school straight after the holidays.
As for health, I still walk for an hour every day first thing in the morning and also run around with the kids at soccer and coach a kids hockey team. So no, property has given me the ability to do all these things, if I was in a 8 – 5 job then a lot of those things would probably not be possible. The last time I was an employee working dollars for hours was 23 years ago.
3. Much the same really, travel as much as I can and also keep buying/selling etc property. In the last 10 months I’ve bought those 9 buy and hold properties in the new trust I set up (since January) and also another 11 properties to trade, reno etc, so 20 in total. It’s fun and I love doing it.
4. Walking, time with family and friends, watching movies, travelling, coaching hockey and relaxing too, probably much the same as anyone else.
