A couple of thoughts:
- The $100K+ in changeover costs (real estate agents, removalists, stamp duty etc.), would go a long way to updating your current place to suit your new mode of living.
- My folks moved to a smaller place and the issue is there is now not enough room for us to stay there.
- See a retirement advisor re asset base to cash base, it may not pay to have less capital in a house and more cash in the bank

Keep your house, buy a log splitter and go around splitting fellow swaggers firewood for a fee. Slab of green is the normal currency!

The secret is cash follow. The next secret is tax. Understand these 2 principles and you'll be right.

Yes it's smoke and mirrors. Learn how to blow smoke the best and learn who's best at holding the mirror.

The perfect example is........................who's f%^king the cat and who's holding the tail................
