自住房啊,要擱心裏;
投資房呢,全放腦子裏。
推敲推敲,是否在理?
I have learnt that from a female R.E. investor who was busy selling her own luxury home back in 2006. 那個瘋狂的年代!She was selling! 毅然決然! 能人啊!
那天,大雨傾盆,她open house, 一整天,可能就俺一人來看房,見著俺,高興地就把俺拉進大廳,坐下開侃投資經。 俺仔細打量著眼前的婦人,怎麽看怎麽富態。 再把房子看個究竟,房前房後,屋裏屋外,處處溫馨。 可見主人花了不少心血。談話中,了解到,早年她從伊朗移民來美。 俺不禁怯怯地問: 舍得賣嗎? 她環視了一下整個屋,意味深長地說: “I am trying, trying very hard...to move my home from my heart to my head".
I kept nodding but speechless...
時過境遷,婦人的話至今回味無窮, 讓俺不禁想起Jonathan Swift的著名格言:
“A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.”
Let’s Keep money in its place.
