And there's no better time to downsize than in your early to mid 30s.
Might actually be true if you're a retiring AFL footballer having a massive salary decrease, which is the whole point - choosing that big contract could be the difference between maintaining the family home and the lifestyle that you and your family have come to expect.

Could be - you'd hope that players are well enough advised not to over-commit like that. Regardless, the idea that any player should not take a massive contract because of nebulous concepts like mateship and loyalty doesn't consider the potential of what that contract might bring to a player and their family. I know who I would be "more loyal" to.

As you say, might be the difference between holding on and having to sell - or it could be private school fees, or something else.

Like a boat.

I would have been dumb enough to in my 20s - probably still would be.

Early to mid thirties is usually when you have kids, downsizing is the last thing you want at that point.
Not sure if you had your tongue planted firmly in your cheek.:think:
My bank balance certainly copped a severe downsizing once the missus and kids arrived upon the scene
 
And leave Collingwood? Shame on you haha

I've been a pie since I popped into the world in the 70s.

For 6 million over 6 years I'd paint my balls blue and white and hop naked down Arden Street, singing "out we come, out we come, out we come to play!"

But as a supporter, if Bruzzy leaves I'll never forgive him. 😄

**** the pick we'd got. The only positive is that I would love to watch Bruzzy and Jordy going head to head.

Ned's response came before the reporting of North's alleged offer.
Good call sir.
I mixed my timing up.
The change in Bruzzy’s responses, (it’s a business etc etc) were triggered by his agent also.
That was what Ned addressed with his comments.
 
Yep. It's a great start to life but it's not "set up financially for life".
So what's your point.
Really?
$2million in net assets in your early 30’s, absolutely sets you up for life.
How many people at that stage of life could sell up, to then invest $2million and live off the income. Even at a modest 5-7% it’s like having a $100k - $140k pension for life.

And that’s even before being far more creative in how to invest that money.
A modest compounding of 7% per annum would double that Capital over 10 years.

I wish I had $2mill in my early 30’s.

Unless you're borrowing against it to invest, or renting out rooms on Air BnB, the family home doesn't earn you income and a $2 million dollar home is more expensive to keep than most cheaper homes. It's not like a financial asset - unless you plan to sell it and buy something cheaper.

Yes you’re right - That’s why I said “selling up” ie sell the house and then use the $2mill as I described.

I suspect you're thinking like a retiree or soon to be retiree and not like a 30 year old who might be looking to start a family at some stage.
 
Would you prefer $3.4m over 4 years, with likely very little chance to make such a salary again, or $6m over 6 years? Pretty significant difference
$3.4 if it means pulling on the black and white stripes at the G.
He will stay.
