Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
Im a Uni student, i have 4 exams in the next 7 days and then holidays until Feb or March when uni starts again.
So my 9-5 involves a lot of relaxing and hanging around with friends.
Earning some more $$$'s to invest is also a priority so i work when i can.

Property management. A title which really means that I just organise others to change the fluorencent tubes and clean the toilets.
Don't/wont trade. A few $,000 (greater than 1) down the gurgler beat that ego out of my system. Made enough - after taxes - out of property to almost get rid of the mortgage (less than 18 months to go.) Stick with Top 50 and LICs very long term so I can sleep at night. Family and health worth more than the $$s.

I could tell you, but I would have to kill you
Nah, not as exciting as that. I'm a fraud investigator.

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
G'day everyone...
Left Australia after completing BA and MA degrees. Moved to S. Korea and have lived here for 5 years. I teach English from 3 - 5pm but have to be at work from 9 - 5. Therefore, most of the day I research quality stocks to buy with my disposable income (which is about 80% if anyone's in need of a job that allows a high level of saving). For three months of each year I travel with my wife (paid) so we are fortunate to have visited many places around the globe.
I do spend many hours at this site and enjoy reading through contributor's various experiences and stock tips. Being an expat and 'out of the game', I appreciate this site as a way to keep informed about the ASX. Thank you to all of you who contribute.
Ty.

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
Well, there are some sacrifices.... like it's hard to get a decent hamburger! And it's getting bloody cold now. But I do manage to get my hands on some pleasures such as a reasonably priced bottle of red.
Lifestyle's not great, but we make what we can out of it. I have a weber BBQ on the balcony and a dog, so it almost seems like home... sometimes.
Enjoy your posts - keep up the good work.

Don't eat your dog. Hide it when the guests come over they will want to throw it on the webber.
Disclaimer: They eat dogs in Korea.

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
Hi Ty, i can relate to all of what you say. Although i have an ample supply of red here, its just not the same as living in the Coonawarra, where i moved here from.
Cheers,

I run an IT business from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Almost 2am here, but hey, that's the norm from Argentinians so I'm rolling with it.

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
Yeah, well, I am in Sydney from time to time, but most of my time is spent living here. Hell yeah, there are wine bars for sale. And the wine is bloody brilliant to boot. In fact, you could deck out any number of the killer 18th century buildings in BsAs to make your wine bar.
And it's cheap. With the peso at 2.35/1 for the AUD, it's hard to spend money here. Just tonight I went out to dinner at a nice restaurant - 11 pesos for schnitzel, salad, a glass of wine and a coffee. Sure, there are pricier places for the turistas, but if you steer clear of them you can live like a king.
