It may not have occurred to you that Frugality Cottage is mainly an investment hub.
People with a propensity to made bad investments do not know how to find good ones, hence they do not know how to recognise good investments even when those extraordinary opportunities are right under their noses.
Foolish persons mainly associate investments with numbers.
Very foolish persons indeed also associate investments with emotions.
You are invited, yet again, to rethink your investment habits:

You are apparently still a member of a throw-away society.
You seem to be unable to establish the value of anything properly.
You may even be confused about the meaning of an Australian idyll.

If you are pushy or otherwise arrogant, you may be living authentically, from your own point of view, but you are also living obnoxiously from the point of view of more reasonable, respectful and responsible persons.
You may understand nothing about liminality in relation to this virtual cottage, regardless of the information provided on the subject here.

Investing well is an art as well as a science. It obviously relies on respect for science yet it also relies on respect for art as art.
Most ordinary mortals do not have such respect. They regard both science and art to be in the service of money, regardless of the consequences.
Perhaps you are seeking to know more about the cottage. You have provided no indication that you have acquired the knowledge already provided through the information here:

If you are authentically unpleasant rather than authentically pleasant, that is obviously a considerable problem for everyone, possibly including yourself.
You have been offered many chances to experience refreshing possibilities within and through this virtual venue.

What have you been discovering in the little library here, especially about yourself?
Perhaps you do not take this digital noticeboard seriously.
Perhaps you do not appreciate your current access to the library.
What do you know about science for the sake of science?
What do you know about art for the sake of art?
What do you know about history for the sake of the future?
How do you prefer to explore possibilities?
Perhaps you have been exploring here attentively and conscientiously with your allocated guide.
For the first time in history, a century has arisen in which possibilities can be explored quite easily by most people, with the assistance of their own imaginations, especially with the help of their own intellects and access to the Internet.
Yet possibilities are not necessarily opportunities.
Each Monday morning, Adelaidezone time, you have had a chance to discover, through this remarkable noticeboard, ways in which the possible and the probable can be better distinguished from one another.
Opportunities arise from the probable, not the possible, even though the possible can, with effort, become more probable later. Yet many efforts are detrimental in the longer term. They destroy opportunities rather than create them.
That is why it is urgent for you to understand the difference between the possible and the probable.
Authentic living, through well-informed kindness, is based on living in accordance with the probable.
It is possible that you may have access to this noticeboard next week though is it probable?
Do you look at trends and mistake the possible for the probable by failing to notice the collision between expectations and the unexpected?
Have you failed to learn anything from anomalies?
Have you often failed to detect anomalies in time to deal with them appropriately?
Perhaps you regard Frugality Cottage as an anomaly. You may expect an investment house to be housed in a large office building, though large office buildings are obviously a bad investment in terms of energy efficiency, transportation, disease control, aesthetics, ethics and resource intensity.
Foolish people also often fail to distinguish clearly enough between an investment house and speculations in a booming housing market. That is why they throw far too much time and money into the latter, with or without the motivation of ridiculously generous (and wasteful) government subsidies.
If you think you are investing in a house, or part of a house, or another type of dwelling, why do you think that way?
While investment companies claim to invest other people's money in securities, this investment house uniquely invests in real security.
Perhaps you will turn up here next Monday morning, hoping to learn more.
