Hiya knightm,
I bought my 1st unit before my 40th...Motivation was i was booted by the ex(her mid life crisis) and despite me having anxiety attacks there after(didn't know it at the time) in hindsight,it was the best thing ever,being booted that is.
The relationship was to and throw,she had 3 boys,aged 4,12,16 at the time i met her,the youngest had cerebral palsy,though slightly but he was a gem!The 12yr old was a right pain in the ***.
Anyhow,i thought well,i'll show her.
So got a good job to which i'm still in and went without,gave up smoking though i still enjoyed my cheap wine and a 3 day growth ha ha.
I had a 5k CC at the time(btw i swore i'd never get a CC) as i left my previous job and made some decent coin off ebad via laptop repairs.
Anyhow on the 1st day on the job,i was involved in a 3 car pile up,which i wrote off my noice VT supercharge,it was debadged and a sleeper to which i spent a more than a few k updating.
Airbags went off,i was aok.Funnily enough there was a ambo in the other lane.
So insurance payout,got rid of CC and downgraded to a VT exec.
Clean slate!
Anyhow was on sub 40k pa and saved in 12 months.
Bought my unit which was cheaper than renting and got fhbg but there was 1 problem tenant in place,i bore the front for 2yrs for the sake of other tenants/owners,i won't go into detail.
But got rid of the bum eventually.
It put me off as i did upgrade the common area etc and wanted to do more.
So,i bought within my means and it was a kickstart.
Updated late last year to a 4 bedder home on 1/4 acre,took in a mate who lost his partner to cancer and he's now moved out the other week to be with his father,as his mother passed away.
I don't want to sound cruel but my mate moving out has me in a happy place atm.IE:My own space etc and again i won't go into detail.
All done before i found SS and managed to get a loan on a casual contract to which i later found out,last week in fact,the unit is below 50sqm's.
Anyhow i won't go into detail why i purchased before i was 40 but just a product of growing up in druitt,addiction,no family,father died,when i was young and some get cards dealt better than others.
Such is life and no regrets.
Life for me started @ age 35,moving to vic for a new lease.
Life is good
