How many years did the 17% go for before it fell? 2?
The 5% on the 834K goes on each year ad infinitum...

Back to cars, I see heaps of early 30's longboarder surfers with a relatively new, expensive Merc van. Say 50K or more, way more flash than my beat up surf wagon. But then I realise, it's their house
Go on the mighty Google and put in #vanlife and look on Twitter and Instagram

The lifestyle thing is pretty cool but it would get old after a while I reckon - be better off with one of those Snap-on trucks as a second handy - reckon it would make a mad abode on wheels, they've got 5KVA Cummins diesel generators, A/C etc.
