    The new decade starts when this one ends - on the 31st of December, this year, 2020.

    That should start this year off with a bang!

    My dear fungus pudding, better review your concept of digits too as you got it wrong. And may all your investments (mostly on properties, if I remembered it right) prosper on this new decade that started just past midnight.

    I most certainly did not get it wrong. Of course a decade ends after year 10 full years. Not at the beginning. There is no year nought, so 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10 are the years, or the 3651 or 3652 days, of a decade, (normally every 4th years has 366 days, except every 400th year only has 365 days). However the majority of countries chose to celebrate decades and the millennium with years ending in nought - supposedly for convenience and common practise of referring to decades as 'the thirties', 'the fifties' etc. AFAIK the only country that refused to do-so, and stick to the correct labels, is Cuba. The rest of us jump the gun. https://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/02/w...will-wait.html
    The way we name decades is, strictly speaking, incorrect, although many would argue it is sensible or practical. https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...-beginning-of/

    You are correct about property shares. I am simply a collector. I do not trade, or own anything else other than direct investment in commercial property, because it all looks too hard and/or risky to me. I like LPTs because of the simplicity and the tax advantage. My philosophy is to collect up things which increase my income, and keep them, adding more as I go (the exception was, as soon as I was out of my training nappies, was to dump all residential property.) I make no claims about the benefits of this - other than to say I have built a very healthy income over the years.
    Have good new year, or as others (possibly those who do not understand what a decade is) say 'have a good new years'.
