An Australian friend of mine recently married a Thai lady. She lives in Thailand and he lives in both Thailand and Australia however I think his official residence is in Australia and he spends 80% of time in Australia as he works FIFO. The marriage was done in Thailand formally. I believe...

Perhaps SS investors could wear a identifying feature so other SS investors are aware of them in an open house/auction environment.

Plenty of fifo workers would be interested in this book. Consider making an E or i book format as fifo often prefer a digital version.

I wonder what sort of success I would get if i put the names of 30 towns/cities on a corkboard, and threw 20 red and 20 green darts at them? If a green dart landed on a town then it's a must buy, if a red dart landed on it don't touch it. If a town gets even red/green, flip a coin to...

I enjoyed both books and the movie. Below is an interesting section from the second book. The wolf was out of money and in the middle of legal proceedings when he moved into mortgage refinancing which was meant to lower the interest rate and save the house owners money... ...I finally got...

It's interesting all the people who are die hard supporters of either party, Labor or Liberal. They just won't listen to the other side on this and other subjects. Firmly entrenched. Personally I pretty much hate them all equally, but Abbott is too much like George Bush for my liking. One...

Thanks Paul, I will check that out. My main reason for doing this is to ensure I gather all receipts and capture all expenses otherwise things will get missed. Also, I want to keep capital expenses away from deductible expenses. It will include each individual item as well as a summary for...

Hi peoples, I am creating a spreadsheet to track tax deductions for both personal and property tax. I would like to categorise things to help me retain the information for tax purposes. Part of it is also to remind me what I need to keep receipts for as well as making it easier for my...

Rarely do I agree with anything from Abbott, but I agree 100% with this. Difficult to arrange as it needs support from the states, but a great thing if it succeeds. You want free money? No problem, just ensure you can pass a random test.

Paid off by selling government businesses including telstra. The big problem with Telstra is he didn't structurally seperate wholesale/retail before selling it which is the main problem with the current telecommunications in this country and the real reason labor didn't go with FTTN...

Sorry to hijack your thread but I have a related question. When setting up a loan to ensure it isn't cross collatterized do you just mention this to a bank and they are normally happy to comply? It seems the default attitude with banks is to cross collaterize loans. Is it difficult to get...

Perhaps, but the vibe kinda impressed me. Restaurants, cafes, nice place. Not really blue chip family, but I assumed popular with the young professional crowd?

What about glenelg?

I purchased 2 properties last year. One direct with a big 4, another with a broker. One gave me approval in 4 days with only a desktop valuation required. The other submitted the application about a week prior to settlement :eek: One property I was waiting for the vendor a few days. The...

Thanks PT bear :)

Would one expect to get the same rates for a broker or going direct to a big 4 bank assuming you had excellent serviceability and history with that big 4 bank? Any advantages or disadvantages between going direct or using a broker?

Probably similar to filling in old septic tanks. Soil would need to be correctly compacted, and i'd want to do it some time before building to ensure any settling has completed i've seen situations where settling has led to cracking of new slabs in rushed constructions.

Plenty of hypocrites in this thread just like joe hockey. It was ok for them to receive the benefits, but now someone else is getting them they complain. Incidentally, did anyone see the koshie interview with hockey this morning. Extremely soft they are obviously mates. Hockey just ignored...

Joe Hockey protesting about a $250 admin charge when he was a student in 1987 :rolleyes: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/national/believe-it-or-not-this-version-of-joe-hockey-actually-protested-against-an-attack-on-free-university-education-for-all/story-fni6ulvf-1226935016965

Less train drivers but more work for the guys setting up the command centres and operating them. Also, nano technology in medicine, etc.
