Animated slum-lord gif.
Jun. 26th, 2005 09:46 amProbably, the world didn't really need another childfree icon. Probably, nobody but me cares that I've finally learned to make animated GIFs. And yet, surely a tiny bit of creativity is better than none. :)
Last night I was starting to think seriously about how much nicer real estate has been to me (so far) than the stock market, and wondering if it would make sense to get out of the latter and buy another condo within the next year or so instead. ( I'd make a good slum lord, don't you think? )
Ambitions of this sort tend to come and go... as is probably obvious, I've been financially lazy for quite a while now while recovering from the shock of buying the condo we have now. Intellectually, I do think that (beyond a rainy-day fund), people's money should be out and about and working for them, and it would be good to work toward the goal of having more income streams. Realistically, it's hard to scrape up the time, money, nerve and down payments to make any of it happen (which is why the stock market is easier... you can play with any amount). Ah well -- this is all a fine direction of thought, and I may come back to it over the next year or two.
