FB, did most of my OS travels in my early 20s. Not too many places I'm keen to re-visit except South America, but most of those are narco-states these days.
Mango, I don't need, or want, to be leveraged by Debt. I don't need a 700k house, I don't want to deal with banks. Maybe that's an alien concept.
To me owning RE is overpriced and overated. Yep, I donated well over 100k to those assorted parasites on the various moves.
Good luck if you want to spend your life stuck in traffic jams whilst you donate blood to the banks. I don't.
I grew up on the Gold Coast, but these days, wouldn't live there if you paid me. When I say Gold Coast, I'm not talking Coomera or Andrews or some 'burb, I'm talking on the Estuary, 300m from the beach at Currumbin. Lived there, or there abouts, for 20+ years.
Each to their own.
disclosure: Always on the look out for a proprerty up here in the high country. Somewhere I can tell the world to go to hell. No hurry.
