EP 69 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Can Money Buy You Happiness?

We already know that people in a comfortable standard of living are generally happier than those that are living in poverty.  So, is it true that money doesn’t buy happiness?

We’ve all heard the saying “money doesn’t buy happiness”, but what does that actually mean? People often think that if they have all the money to buy the things they want, take their dream vacation, and live in their dream home that they’ll finally be happy.

Do you think you need money to be happy? Or do you think we can live in the world of today and be perfectly happy without an abundance of money?

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker is on hand to discuss the benefits that money can have on your life, happiness and your future.

The Latest Quarterly Data Might Surprise You!

 

In my articles on the Fife property market, I like to provide an insight into the real story of what is happening in our local (and national) property market and address the misconceptions that some of the media have been spreading.

 

Despite almost daily reports of a housing market crash since September 2022, the data shows that the UK (and Fife) property market is gingerly doing OK.

 

So, let’s dive into the stats and start with the life blood of the housing market – new properties coming on to the market.

Headline statistics for February 2023

 The average price of a property in Scotland was £180,287

The annual price change of a property in Scotland was 1.0%

The monthly price change of a property in Scotland was -2.6%

The index figure for Scotland (January 2015 = 100) was 133.6

 

Average house prices in Scotland increased by 1.0% in the 12 months to February 2023. This remained unchanged from the 12 months to January 2023 and was slower than the average UK house price annual inflation of 5.5% in the 12 months to February 2023. Scotland’s annual house price inflation has generally been slowing since the recent peak of 13.8% in the 12 months to April 2022.

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in Scotland decreased by 2.6% between January 2023 and February 2023, compared with a decrease of 2.5% during the same period 12 months ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in Scotland decreased by 0.3% between January 2023 and February 2023.

Comparing the provisional volume estimate for December 2021 with the provisional volume estimate for December 2022, the volume of transactions decreased by 12.2% in Scotland and increased by 30.5% in the UK.

In Scotland, detached houses showed the highest annual percentage change out of all property types, increasing by 2.0% in the 12 months to February 2023 to £325,000. Flats and maisonettes showed the lowest annual percentage change, which decreased by 0.5% in the 12 months to February 2023 to an average price of £123,000.

The highest annual percentage change was in Moray, where average house prices increased by 10.1% in the 12 months to February 2023 to £188,000. The lowest annual percentage change was in City of Aberdeen, where average house prices decreased by 6.6% in the 12 months to February 2023 to £132,000.

As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month’s set of house price data.

FP TV EP 138 FIND THE GAP: How to create the buy-to-let niche that’s perfect for you

Buy-to-let is undergoing a massive transformation right now. Poor-quality homes are getting squeezed out by tightening legislation, and short-term profiteering has fallen away through changing tax laws. As a result, many landlords have sold up. But if you’re in it for the long term, buy-to-let can still be a highly profitable route to financial security, particularly if you can serve an overlooked segment of the local rental market.

EP67 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: What is The True Meaning of Wealth

One of the greatest driving forces in the world is the desire for wealth.

True wealth may mean seeking deeper relationships, more personal growth or ways to create more meaning in life. Achieving true wealth may mean possessing the ability to enjoy the small, ordinary pleasures of life.

The terms money and wealth may appear to mean the same thing. But while many people emphasise the importance of having an abundance of money, few understand the meaning of true wealth.

What does achieving wealth mean to you and does wealth and money hold a different meaning?

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker is on hand to discuss the true meaning of wealth, the differences between wealth and money as well as insights into wealth creation.
