Social Science Things that please me - Part 2

Melbourne weather atm.
Nothing more therapeutic than a stormy day indoors with a good book and tea, or getting soaked when I go for a run. This craps all over sticky summer days

Or snuggling up under the doona at night

It's taken me until the age of 42 but I own property. Wife and I signed off on an appartement in Nice today. We didnt even get bloody keys as its a rental(tenant in place) where we will double our money in 7 years so Im pretty happy.

Bonus is the place is furnished and we emptied our safe as the previous owner sold the furnishings to us in cash, emptying our growing stack of cash which is hard to use here in large amounts.

Nice job! I watched a House Hunters International that was in your area the other day. They got a tiny 300 square foot apartment for around $300k.

The double in 7 years bit. Is that your estimate or...?

Ah I see. There is a tenant who will pay 58,000 euros over 7 years, whereas we will pay 50,000 then the loan will be payed off (1.1% interest). It's a small loft apartment and seeing as we live rent, electricity, petrol, gas free it was a better way to use our money than leaving it in a bank.

Wait, what? Someone is paying over 8k p.a. for a place that costs 50k?

Place costs 107k. It's also smack bang in the middle of Nice in one of the nicer areas. France has the most visits from tourist in the whole world, Nice is the second most visited city in France, after Paris. Nice airport is the 2nd busiest airport in France. It's an expensive city(and region) to live in. Therefore we thought it's a good investment with very low risk to us. We still manage to save around 40,000 euros a year together so will be looking at other investment options too.
