Project 2- Reducing My Mortgage
I’m proud of this category because it contains the blog posts to my second documented property investment project. I go through every step I took to raise 15k, carrying with me the intentions of buying another buy-to-let investment.
However, due to the uncertain condition of the property market and the lack of desirable properties available during the time, I ended up investing the money in reducing my interest-only mortgage and converting it into a repayment mortgage. It’s the best decision I ever made.

I was having one of my moments of reflection at work the other day, contemplating on ways I could raise more cash for my property investment project. I started thinking about how all the little costs in my life add up, and how it would be great to either lower or remove those costs. I’m [...]
I Just Sold The Love Of My Life

I’m feeling quite unsettled right now; I just had to part from the love of my life (Peugeot 206 1.4 GLX). It’s not uncommon for people to get attached to their first car; the sentimental relationship is sometimes unavoidable, unless it’s a complete piece of shit. However, my car was a little beauty, consequently I’m [...]

I know the traditional expression is, “counting the pennies”, but I’m not about to go around my house and/or the streets hunting for every penny in my reach. However, like most people, I do have a pot of change that has been the disposal vessel for all the loose coins that has accumulated in my [...]
