Don’t Teach Pigs to Sing…

“Don’t teach pigs to sing; it wastes your time and annoys hell out of the pig”!

If you take this on board you will save yourself a lot of frustration. People in general don’t want to be ‘converted’ so don’t bash your head against a brick wall.

Take the property market. There are a lot of  ‘spruikers’ (usually with a vested interest) who would have you believe  that real estate is a great  investment (as indeed it can be if you do it right: see Robert Kiyosaki’s books on Cash Flow) come what may. It is blatantly obvious that property prices can’t always increase but you can’t argue with these people so you might as well give in.

I was  just reading in Money Morning (an Australian ‘market news’ website) one chap’s response to these spruikers. He said “You’re right! Go ahead and buy before prices go up again!”

He has long since given up on teaching pigs to sing! Oink oink!
