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.
