I’ve started making a few non-financial changes to put me in a better position. I’m organising to move my work to a lower cost of living area, which will put me in a position that buying a property should be within reach. I’ve also upgraded my vehicle to a newer model (old car was 2006, just purchased a 2019 model). It’s a small van instead of a car, with the potential to be made into a micro-camper which will give me some cheaper holiday options in the future.

I had good timing selling some ETFs to get cash for the car (and because the move means my timeframe for wanting a house deposit have been moved forward). It wasn’t at the peak of prices, but was before most of the drop.

I’d mostly like to keep them to a few posts so the actual discussion posts won’t get lost. At the moment the idea is people can post that sort of thing in the pinned introduction post, but I am thinking of something along the lines of themed picture posts in the future.

There are plenty of groups which have primarily photos, you are free to join those if that is what you are after. This group is for discussions, if that is not what you are after feel free not to join.
