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.

ACCIDENTAL LANDLORD? All You Need To Know To Make It a Success

 

Not everyone sets out to be a landlord, and becoming an accidental one is more common than you might think.

 

An accidental landlord is someone who becomes a landlord by circumstance rather than by plan, and it can happen for several reasons. You could be relocating for work, moving in with your partner, or having trouble finding a buyer for your current home. Or you might have inherited a property.

The rental market has grown up. Tenancies are running for longer, and with stays of four or more years increasingly common, tenants have higher expectations around the place they’re willing to call home.

 

This spells good news for landlords because those higher expectations come with a willingness to pay a higher rent. More than that, the right improvements will Continue reading FP TV (EP 34) RENTAL UPGRADES: 5 Improvements to Increase Your Income (Watch/read/listen)
