I think you should start looking for another job ASAP, see how that goes. As JacM says above you still have enough savings to keep u going until u do find a job. Its good that u r getting ready for the worst but dont make any decisions while u r in a panic. Hopefully it will all work out.

Hey, From my understanding LEGALLY you are meant to declare any money earned. It is something that people do however i dont believe it is legal. It can be a good thing if you are planning to sell soon and dont want to pay capital gains tax. Having said that, if you do things legally, you will always have less trouble in life and the future.

It is true that at the moment house prices have become a little crazy especially in places such as Liverpool/ Green Valley in wetern Sydney. But you have alot of cash that you c…[Read more]

I have just been looking at prices in Morwell, they seem very reasonable and various magazines such as "Your Investment Property" have statistics that show it has an annual growth of about 10% with a rental return of 6%.
