    Most annoying Americanisms that Aussies simply must follow

    "Get off of me". I thought "get off me" will do. "Friday twelve June" - I guess it's easier than saying "Friday, the twelfth of June"

    First pass at an investment strategy - comments welcome!

    Save for a deposit, buy a place that you can afford to hold if you don't have a tenant. Rent it out and see how you go. You've started well on your savings, given a lot of thought to your finances and learnt a lot. Try to provide the information to others that they need to know to advise you...
