One statistic that has taken us by surprise is how – almost out of nowhere – so many billionaires have popped up. At our last count, it was 2,781 according to Forbes. With all that wealth floating around, what does that mean for the rest of us?
Certainly one byproduct of this stark reality is that reality takes a new place on the world stage. But what if you’re not in that plum world where you’re alright, Jack? There are more of “us” than them. It can become concerning, especially if you’re try to work your way up the property ladder. Often, the prospects seem almost unreachable and unaffordable. Well, we have some tools for this conundrum that just might make things attainable and realistic.
A couple of online property sites that we really like are Spotahome and Numbeo. And when we say “property” we’re covering places that have the prospect of being a lifesaver and / or a stepping stone to your place in the sun. So, who are they and why are they a good idea?
