OPINION:
Q: I'm currently reading your latest book, A Richer You, and am a follower of your column in the Herald. I am rather intrigued by a phrase you use. It does not seem
to sit well with other things you say.
It is a very common phrase: "get on the property ladder". Words have power, and it encapsulates an idea that one must always want more, better, nicer, etc.
I've noticed that some people no longer talk about buying a home — they make an investment, and banks no longer lend money, they provide financing. These are not just words that mean the same, they have entirely different meanings.
