    Renting with GF my own home

    Obviously you're not the same, since you are thinking about it. I don't know about funny, but I'm happy because I enjoy my relationship without being paranoid about divorce. I'm not sure you are, though. Re-read the defacto laws. You don't need to be legally married for the asset sharing to...

    Renting with GF my own home

    I think money is easier to find than a person who I actually want to spend a lot of time with. Actually I'm going to put some stuff into a family trust now that she can get a TFN and will be a nice tax shelter for franked dividends. I may move ownerhip of the PPOR to her for asset protection...

    Renting with GF my own home

    Complaining about the unfairness of it all again, IF? You really have to break that habit. It's such a waste of energy. You could just stop dating altogether. Alex

    Renting with GF my own home

    I really suggest you don't start on that blaming thing again, IF. You waste a lot of energy that way. How much energy did you waste railing against the unfairness of the property market? Now that you've knuckled down and bought a place, it's much more productive, no? Alex

    Renting with GF my own home

    Yeah, but it's the law. You don't HAVE to live together, you know. Or just find a girl richer than you are. Alex

    Renting with GF my own home

    You COULD move to a country like the UK where there are no de facto laws. That might be a little extreme but will give you peace of mind. Alex

    Renting with GF my own home

    If you're THAT concerned, don't live together. Also, are you planning on declaring the rent you get from your GF? Alex
