Summary
part 1 of a 2 part podcast
Paul talks with Alexandra about her
experience staying at the Fisher-Price house with her kids.
Alexandra has just finished doing the 30 days "running a RMH"
BB and is now embarking on the 1 week one.
Alexandra's husband visited over Christmas and Paul thinks it may be the first time they've had kids there at Christmas. This seems to have been a good thing.
Paul talks about how engineers plan stuff - like running a freight train, but at the labs there are people who don't plan like that, which can make things complicated. Paul's mantra is "make the best of it" - plans go sideways so you have to adapt. Alexandra is a planner and can find it hard to adapt.
This is Alexandra's fourth visit. This is a bit different: it doesn't seem like a vacation, because she has to cook. Also doing SKIP at the SKIP event is easier due to the support that's available. She chose the
wood level
RMH BB as it's easier to plan the timescale, compared with things like
gardening. She likes that SKIP is motivating her to do stuff she wouldn't ordinarily do.
Paul comments that many of the people doing BBs and SKIP aren't doing it towards inheriting property, which isn't really what the OTISes hoped. However, Alexandra isn't ruling out inheriting property. Although she's fully invested in the system as a qualified engineer she's keen to be able to offer her kids another path. The prospect of inheriting a property has
led her to SKIP, as it could provide a way out of the system. She thinks it could be hard to do SKIP entirely solo. She's grateful for the support others in the scheme have given.
Paul comments about the cost aspects. Alexandra has bought some tools and such to do SKIP. But it can be done almost for zero cost.
