Is this Financial Advice?? Certainly not! That&#8217;s something you pay advisors lots of money for! Also there&#8217;s laws around Advice, regulations etc. I have a post describing this more. But, Advice involves giveing someone instruction and getting a commission. So please don&#8217;t take this as instruction and check anything you interpret with someone who knows all of your circumstances.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Booming<\/strong>. This is a guide on how to grow wealth like a baby boomer. Dad is a classic boomer, so this site is boomer comments on how to boom, in a baby boomer way. You may be thinking bad things about baby boomers, but this will show you the wisdom, discipline, and servanthood that has paved a way for many of them to live in 1st-world, private-school, trust-fund-backed plushness with baby boomer heritage.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Look after the Family Farm<\/strong>. This is the concept Dad kept coming back to. Mum grew up on a farm &#8211; a grain &amp; sheep farm in western Vic &#8211; and we would catch up with our cousins from there regularly. Most of my immediate family loved going to the farm, and fancied themselves as lunch-time farmers&#8230; would bring the old jeans out and put a bit of twang in our voice when we were there and thought we were so salt-of-the-earth and hard. (We weren&#8217;t.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, Dad would typically conclude his tirades on finances, assets, savings, investments&#8230; to me with the same concept: treat it like a family farm. We don&#8217;t just sell a piece of land or some sheep to make some money. We&#8217;re in it for the long haul. We&#8217;re long term prodigious investors. Not looking to cash in on our farm. Not looking to buy something and flip it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This book will describe how this plays out in life, and how to follow the Family Farm Finance methods. And how it continually wins out.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a collection of what Dad&#8217;s told me about finance, investing, shares, property, estates,,, and management of all these.
