I need to share my joy! (aka the Happy Thread)

Thanks for the congratulations everyone

Now get out there and buy another. Investment property time

Reminds me of this Seinfeld standup:

I’m not an investor. People always tell me, you should have your money working for you. I’ve decided I’ll do the work. I’m gonna let the money relax. You know what I mean? ‘Cause you send your money out there – working for you – a lot of times, it gets fired. You go back there, “What happened? I had my money. It was here, it was working for me.” “Yeah, I remember your money. Showing up late. Taking time off. We had to let him go.

I'll probably start a term deposit again, nice and low risk

Just completely paid off my house & land mortgage and am now 100% debt free ... if i don't count the MP Prowl postage that i owe Llamatron

Congrats! I've almost reached that goal as well.

...for me though? - I'm happy because my Photobucket bandwidth cap has been lifted! Hooray! - My sig & pics live again!

But now the Dummy has taken over!

He walks.
He stalks.

"Viewer, beware, you're in for a scare!"

Heh. I never got into those books. Do you have the entire collection? I can imagine you with a whole bookcase just dedicated to them. Do you have an all time favorite Goosebumps story?

Hehe.

Sadly, no, I don't have the entire 62 novel run as I only ever owned a handful and they were kindly donated to the local Vinnies when I entered High School - Unbeknownst to me by my parents.
(I also tended to borrow many from a mate who between he & his elder Brother had the whole lot )

A key draw for me with the series was T. Jacobus' utterly stunning artwork for the covers, they gave such a brilliant mental base-line for what to picture in your mind's eye (Especially to an 8-12y/o ) and if said covers were ever to be released in some type of 'Print' form? - I'd collect the lot in a heartbeat.

My favourite story? - Easily the "Night of The Living Dummy" series, specifically parts I, II & III as I never caught any of the subsequent entries (By which time I was in High School + I think they took place in a splinter line of Goosebumps books ), the subject matter & lead character Slappy (The happy chap adorning my Avatar & Sig ) have stuck in my memory for many years although admittedly the actual stories have heavily faded...

That's why I picked these up a couple of weeks ago!




There were many other stories of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps that I liked, but these were the "Winners" and are a very key reason as to why this is one of my most favourite films.

My little brother had the whole set. I only ever read a few of them as they were a bit 'kiddie' for me at the time. Still, I usually enjoyed the ones I read.

Never got around to watching that movie. I might put it on my Halloween watch list.

Low risk, but also low reward. A good option for when you're still working out what you want to do, provided you are positive you can commit to the full term, otherwise it's a complete waste.

Sharemarket? Well, you shouldn't go into that without planning to invest it for a MINIMUM of 10 years.

[kurdt_the_goat]

I don't have the time or desire to learn anything about the sharemarket! But yeah, i've done term deposits before and with a decent amount in them, it's good enough for me, considering it requires no effort
