People mess up with debt. I mean. Not the same to have debt to buy assets that produce cash flow that assets that eat your cash. Then, a €70.000 car, or $70.000, I don’t mind, bought on instalments is not a means of transportation: it’s a sentence with a steering wheel. It might have 300 horsepower, that new leather smell, and a logo that turns heads at traffic lights, but at the end of the day, it’s still just that: a burden you carry with you everywhere. The perfect symbol of financial freedom you don’t have but desperately try to project. Think about it. Most people don’t buy an expensive car because they need it. They’re not buying transportation. They’re buying social validation. And they’re doing it at the worst possible price: by going into debt for years. This isn’t about rich people who can afford these cars without blinking. We’re talking about people making less than €2,000 a month signing up for 8-year loans just to get behind the wheel of a BMW because they think it’ll make them look successful. They’re wrong. All they’re doing is killing their freedom. Their ability to say “no.” To walk away from a job they hate. To have the mental space to think about something other than, “Will I make it to the end of the month?” That’s what you’re really buying when you sign a loan for a luxury car. You’re not buying wheels. You’re selling your peace of mind. You may look prosperous, but behind closed doors, you’re living on the edge. Think about it (again)

Unless you want a horror story. Or an “insĂpida” story that says nothing. You don’t put on the market an unconnected series of projects. That’s not a vision. It’s election time in New Zealand. And every time I’m invited to a forum, I repeat the same message. Infrastructure needs a long-term story. A real one. What do we want to become in 30 years? Because it cannot change every time the government changes. That’s not strategy. That’s improvisation. Or shooting yourself in your foot. If a...
There is always another offer. You have to approach real estate investment with that mindset. It’s a trick many agents use. “There is another offer.” Aka: urgency. Bring your top price if you want it. Not sure if it’s legal or illegal… but it’s everywhere. Now. If the property is good. If the price is good. People should be bidding. That’s a good sign. Be careful with properties that look great… but nobody wants. Are you missing something? So, when an agent calls me and says there’s another...
Parkinson’s Law: Work fills the space you give it. “If you give yourself three years to complete something, completion will take three years.” Now replace “three” with whatever number… like eight. That’s what I keep seeing in infrastructure. Projects designed to take 8… 10… 12 years. Not because they need it. Because nobody in the room knows how fast it can actually be done. Some clients hire advisors who have never delivered a project at scale. Or with no direct experience in the type of...
