Hey Dino,

You should take pride in yourself in the fact that you are out there fending for yourself and not relying on others for help. You should get a great deal of satisfaction from that.
You wouldn’t want to be one of those people who rely on the government to look after them, beleive it is their right and end up getting nowhere in life.

Hi Arty,

Belated reply, I’ll be 45 in ten years. Really not too far away. I guess i should GOMA and do something, it might help…..[^]

Well done Arty, []

Now when you respond to a newbie on the property forums, they’re going to think you’re a real expert []

hey Pinky,
Judging by your picture, it doesn’t look like you eat that much chocolate…[]

Or do you eat it for the laxative affect [?]

Hey, still in school,
Looks like you’re trying really hard to catch up to Arty []

Good Luck,

Sue []

I’d like to retire at 45, by then my youngest will be almost 18! Hooray hooray

“Be careful not to step on the flowers when you’re reaching for the stars”

So, we’ve been duped again! []

Besides, Arty aren’t you in IT?
You couldn’t possibly look that good[]
Go on, prove me wrong!

Sue []

C’mon Pinky, show us the real stuff….

Hey Arty,

We use that system as well, anything to get people moving around here.
“Barter” is a nice would for it, others might call it “bribery’ [] (Spelling?)

Yeh, she’s a very classy lady.
good looking, and she can sing too.[]

What did you think of Darren Hayes rendition of her song?
I loved it, but then I’m a Darren Hayes fan.
(Embarrassing, but true.[])

I understand where you are coming from AoreEstate.
Although the kids get some money for doing their chores, they also do other things, like clean their rooms, which they are not paid for. We also give them money sometimes for special treats.

Kids do need to be taught how to invest their money.
I have read RK’s books.
You still have to do some…[Read more]

Nice one Bill [] I like it
Got any more?

Hi Powmow,

My daughter gets pocket money for clearing the dinner table and loading the dishwasher!
My eldest son gets money for setting the dinner and breakfast table.
My youngest son gets $1 a day to pick up the dog droppings from the back yard, big fat dog, not a pleasant job! []
My middle son gets no money, he doesn’t have a need yet. He’s a…[Read more]

Hey, Shannon’s my fave by a long shot [][]

Chances are he ain’t gonna win though []

I think the winner will be Guy or Cossima,
(Can I pick two?)
Although I did think the teeny boppers would have been voting for Rob…..

We’ll see,

Sue []

“Be careful not to step on the flowers when you’re reaching for the stars”

Hell yes, I have a dishwasher!

At one stage I had 4 kids, 5yrs and under. A hell of a lot a dishes and no-one with any energy left to wash them [xx(]
(Besides our first dishwasher we bought from our winnings at our one and only trip to the casino![8D])

OK the kids are older now, and you’re right, goddamit, they should wash some dishes [}]

Then…[Read more]

Hi Huey,

I have learned that if ye seek , ye shall find…

Sorry, I’m in strange mood today…[]

Hi Cindyli,

I’m a little lost as to where you got this information from.
Has just your bank put up your interest rate or has the Reserve Bank put up base rates?
And by how much?

That unit must be very negative for you to want to sell so quickly. []

Cheers,
Sue []

“Be careful not to step on the flowers when you’re reaching for the stars”

You’re right Arty,
I guess I forgot where I was!
Wrong kind of forum, need to be more careful about that in the future…[]
Anyway, I forgot to mention that I am sorry to hear that all your steam has blown out……[]

Keep smiling in spite of it all,

Sue []

“Be careful not to step on the flowers when you’re reaching for the stars”

Yes Pinit,
I agree with doogs, a great little summary. Just what we need.

Hi Guys,
It’s me again, the one whose still learning, but still tries to answer questions anyway?

Depreciation is a tax deduction on paper. You can claim depreciation through your employer in the form of a reduced amount a PAYE tax being taken from your pay. There is a form you need to fill out through the tax dept.

Thanks Guys,
That helps a little, not as juicy as I’d hoped, but it’ll do.
Enjoy your apparently magical existence and don’t forget your morning coffee, Arty.

Keep smiling,
