That question "what do you do all day" has been on my mind for some time too. My broker (in shares) told me that he had to return to work because he was so 'bored'. His mates could not meet him for lunch - "too busy" and that his golf has not improved, so he he went back to work. I don't...

Patosan, The first one was where I wanted "all the finishes" as stated in the contact. That is, a complete package which required turfing the whole property, concrete driveway and paths, install a covered pergola, erect the fence and gates, a letterbox, TV antenna and floor coverings etc. It...

I think you be surprised that there are some people out there who enter these comps all the time (i.e. buying products to enable an entry etc) in the hope they win something. (We all are like this aren't we?) Gave it a go myself at one stage and won some useful things like entry tickets to...

Re Trading plans. Could someone give me a few pointers as to what one has to write in their "trading plan". I also do a little bit of trading, but my plan seem to be 'ad hoc' and "in my mind". I don't have anything written down as such. What do you suggest (in a dot point format) should be...

I'm a bit puzzled. What happend to the $300 that he did not get back? It appears to me that the REA must have OK'ed the refund to the bank's sayso and they settled on a deal for $2,000 instead of full amont of $2,300 (Are they keeping the $300 as an admin charge?). The non-tennant must...

Y-man, I see it as this: $390.50 x 2 = $781.00 p/fn for a couple in "one household" compared to $470 ($235 per week) for single person (assumed) to be living alone. Couples get an extra that $311 p/f extra over a single person and one would expect, it's cheaper for a couples to share etc...

This is another "missed opportunity category" more so then a blunder. Just before taking off from Brisbane to Townsville with a job promotion back in late 1989, I walked into a C'weath Bank branch in the Brisbane city and wanted to seek advise about whether to sell our PROR or what to do...

Bubbles Here's another insurance company that you could check out (if you have not already done so). www.rentcover.com.au I don't know how much they cost compared to CGU (I am with them too!) but your post has made many of us (well it did to me) be more aware of the pitfalls with...
