I would like to know how is it possible to know the background of 90% of the contributors here.
That in itself is an achievement that deserves to be noted!!
The gratuituous tar to such alleged ex public servant is also uncalled for.
I wonder who can guess the age and occupation of Mr Greed?

AusPop, you are spot on.

Ou tax system is based on the Robin Hood concept, only because it is popular with the massess who are likely to vote whoever implements anything that remotely resembles take from the “rich” to feed the poor.

Negative gearing would be long gone if it wasn’t that so many ordinary workers have taken up such concept as a…[Read more]

YES, enjoy the journey.
It is the journey that counts not the level of the step one arrives at.
And what about status?

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]
Marc

Agreed.
The question posed to the panel on the SBS program was, if Status is a measure of success.
I said it is not and gave my opinion.
Mr Rogue here seems to think that by giving my opinion and despite clearly stating that it is only my opinion, I imply I am right you are wrong.

Perhaps you want to tell us if you think status is a good…[Read more]

I will add that I find your reference to others posts/dialog lacking “meat” very amusing.

I would gladly engage in a debate with you on this or other topics dear rogue, this is not your first attempt. I would do so if you offered any sort of response, opinion, or logical sequence of thoughts on the subject in question, rather than attempting to turn this into a match about who has the biggest attribute.

After all my disclaimer is…[Read more]

Yet the debate was on a different line, rather if STATUS is a measure of success.

The author made the absurd proposition that if it is, then success can be achieved by going to a society that is so low in comparative terms that we will achieve instant status and therefore instant success.

I found the panel rather disappointing, some apologetic…[Read more]

Reading this thread I was hoping to find a long string of suggestions on how to MAKE 3800 dollars.
Alternativel I was hoping to read about how to recover 3800 from selling your second car or first car, or stamp collection shares whatever.

Honestly to get 3800 from a credit card at 15% or more, sonds a bit reckless to me. How long to recover such…[Read more]

Brick veneer houses are timber frame houses with a veneer of bricks. Cracks in the brick veneer are cosmetic and will not affect the house.
Having said this, there are not to be disregarded completely. There was a case where a kid hangs a hammock from a veranda post and a hook in the wall. The wall mortar was cracked, the wall was not properly…[Read more]

Which: Townhouse.
Why: can be improoved, it is more a house than a box.

Uhuu . . .what have I done[cigar]

Kay, no, don’t give me that much credit please [blush2]
Seriously,… this is not a matter of opinion. It is as hard a fact as describing the cycles of an internal combustion engine. It is not a choice to “work at a conscious level” or not.
Our mind is just built that way, with a conscious and subconscious area.
You can opt for taking control of…[Read more]

Kay, here is nothing bizarre about it. It is an elementary example as to how our decision-making works. You do not necessarily know what makes you “like” or “dislike” and makes you say yes or no. Do you think people can tell you why they like hot chilly or fish or cesar salad?

You say you don’t know why you liked a purple bath and that is ok, as…[Read more]

Since the inception of this “tax driven” thread, I have found 2 +CF properties in NSW that long for a new owner, made an outrageously low offer (20% under listing price) and am waiting for what seems will be a yes. I will have to pay stamp duty when I sell? Hu hu not necessarily, my estate may have to, or perhaps the opposition (?) will remove…[Read more]

A beachfront house that was falling apart, listed by an international real estate agent in Vincentia 1997 asked for $950,000 for what was worth 300,000 then, with a lot of imagination.
They did sell it for $700,000 … 6 years later.

I suggest you post this on “Help Needed”

Interesting responses.

For the sceptics that doubt the price of the information provided, think again.
What makes information valuable?
It is the result from IMPLEMENTING information that makes it valuable. How many times in your life have you been given very valuable yet free information and you have let it slip through?
Why? because you did not…[Read more]
