yes Jas it would be great hey, hopefully for us it will be about 2007-2008 but I am not assuming we will have enough but wouldn't it be great if we did. We were fortunate enough to buy most of our IP's and our PPOR just before the real rush up here in Brissie so have a bit of equity already...

Hubby and I are hoping the next boom will allow us to Live on Equity (we have 6 IP's) and no I don't want this to become another looonng LOE thread :eek: Bring on the next Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys for the great feedback. I was veering toward the LCD, the main reason being that I remember so well when Plasma first came in and they had it it clubs, pubs etc, unless the room was quite dark it was hard to see the image clearly on the screen. They have probably improved since...

I am thinking about buying a new big screen TV and am quite confused about whether it should be a Plasma or LCD. Has anyone bought one of these and can tell me what they think. I have had people say "don't buy a Plasma buy an LCD it is the only way to go" and other people say the opposite...

Wow George, what fantastic work you have done. Thank you. I have a few of these NRMA policies and was really interested in the malicious part as I hadn't picked up the discrepency. We have AAMI for our cars and have had a couple of claims (hubby not me I might add!!) and we couldn't...

That's great, thanks for that Macca. I will check it all out. Cheers Julieo

Hi, I was wondering if any of the clever IT people out there know anything about connecting to the internet via Wireless. I am in a rural area where we can't get ADSL or Cable and Telstra keep promising but nothing is happening. I am getting tired of 36kps dialup speed. A company called...

I had someone at work today show me the article mentioned in this thread and say to me " the Government is going to do away with negative gearing". When I pointed out that this had been tried before with disastrous results he said yes that was the previous labour Govt but this Govt is going to...

Hi yadeh, The same thing happened to me with NRMA, they only added a bit more on to the normal building to also include LPI, they told me it was a new product and they wanted keep the price down to capture market share. I received the info and it seems to encompass the usual LPI stuff you...

Hi Les, James posted a living on equity version 2 thread which included the LVR component. It's about 3/4 down the thread. Sorry I don't have the skills to attach it here. cheers Julieo

A friend of mine sells investment properties for a living. When he arrives at the house if there are a couple of new cars in the drive he knows he won't be making a sale that night!!

I use an infra red Microsoft cordless mouse and I love it. The battery lasts about 6 months at a time and as I recharge my batteries it is of no concern. I wish I could also use one like that at work but not allowed bugger. Sorry don't know much about that bluetooth stuff but I am really...

I have been doing ITWV (Income Tax Withholding Variations) used to be a 221D, for several years and have found this section of the tax department, who are located at Upper Mt Gravatt in QLD, very good. I usually get a reminder from them in April and I usually lodge it in May sometimes and my...

James, the way your spreadsheet is developing you may want to think about a patent!!!! It is just fantastic, thank you so much for doing the update, it now can give us a much more realistic picture of how we would travel over the years. I tips me hat to you kind sir!!!!!

This is fantastic James. My husband spent hours working this stuff out longhand the other night and I did it in 10 seconds with your spreadsheet. This might be a cheeky ask, but would it be difficult to include in your spreadsheet a change in circumstances. eg in 7 years I will receive a...
