WOW sorry I asked!!! [blush2]

I hear ya Aussie,

I did a 6 month stint once as a “temp” when I was getting through uni for a large transport company, one of their smaller branches though with about 50 employees. When I first started, I couldn’t figure out what drugs these men and women were on, walking around smiling, singing, whistling all day long…I thought “have I come…[Read more]

That’s fair enough too Kay,
but just one question, and it is by no means to try and make light of your job satisfaction, which after all is a commendable achievement/position (to be) in itself; however, if you had the choice say, to either go out and share a lovely sunny afternoon with friends/family on a picnic or whatever, would you not choose…[Read more]

Hi Rose,

Or should I say “neighbour” I am minutes away from you!!!!! South Morang!!!

Depends on where you want to invest in Melbourne, how much, what kind of return you want etc etc.

There are some great bargain around in our neck of the woods (yours and mine) so keep a sharp eye out; they’re definitely there!!!

Try http://www.realestate.com.au for…[Read more]

“Mine, mine, mine”

Oops, sorry that was the seagulls (not Pelicans) from Finding Nemo!!!!!

Kinda reminded me of how I feel at every new property (purchase) settlement!!! [laugh4][laugh4][laugh4]

Jo

Oh gonna be like that hey??? Fine….”blow it out your bubble” then!!!!! [laugh4][laugh4][laugh4]

Hey Del,

No problem; I didn’t give it a second thought!!

But thank you for your kind words anyway!!

You’re a gem!!! [sunny]

Jo

Hey Del,

I personally think that you should have been invited, so please don’t feel the need to justify yourself, YOU DESERVE IT!!!! [specool]

Jo

Yes Richmond, your’re right, it can be read in a multitude of ways I guess.

Yack said: who is going because they are part of the team or really parting with their money because they feel passionate about it. I can evaluate your posts in a different light now

Hmmmm….Don’t know how you’ll view my posts now though Yack, mine is a different…[Read more]

Hi Richmond,

Maybe I am wrong in speaking for Yack, but I honestly didn’t think his question implied anything “sinister”

Well, not in my view anyway.

Jo

Thanks Greg,

What can I say??? As a fellow Melbourian, you’re [specool] Great links!!! [thumbsupanim]

Cheers,

Jo

Ummmm I beg to differ…..not all moderators it seems!!! Certainly not all the ones who live in Melbourne!!!!

That’s it!!!

Thank you Yack, that is what I read, and in the API magazine???? but for some reason (i.e. perhaps the fact that I was in bed reading it at 2.30am) made me think it would affect the 50% exemption, rather than reducing the cost base.

Cheers,

Jo
P.S. See Yack, I always said you were a legend!!!! [specool][thumbsupanim]

Hi depreciator,

Can’t recall off the top of my head, although I have been reading the API magazine over the last few days, but I don’t think it was in there!!! I am almost certain I still have it, I will make it my mission to hunt it down, and get back to you. I guess it wasn’t a big deal to me at the time, so I dismissed it pretty…[Read more]

Thanks Kay,

Maybe you can tell me though, okay you buy post 1985 for the tax breaks, but how does this help with CGT if there is any truth to the notion that by making “depreciation” claims each year, you have to pay the full 100% CGT when (if of course) you sell???

Or have I been mislead/misread (the article)???

Depreciator???? Anyone?????

Jo

Thanks Anubis, Depreciator, Yack (good example)

I was pretty confident that people didn’t buy simply on that criteria, however as so much emphasis placed on it I was beginning to have my doubts!!

Depreciatior, one question if I may, I’m sure I read somewhere, that if you claimed depreciation each year, when it came time to sell, you were not…[Read more]

Hi setmefree,

You sound like a very disgruntled employee, and one who desparately needs a change…[Read more]

Thanks Derek,

Trust you to say the right thing!!! [specool]

I always thought as much, but the word “depreciation” has been thrown around so much lately, that it was giving me the false impression, that that was a major criteria when people were looking to purchase.

fjficm also mentioned properties he’d purchased that were over 50 years of age,…[Read more]

Oh, and thanks for the clarification. My best wishes to you all, please do ride safe, but if a daft blonde in a blue proton comes screaming passed and sends you flying, try and remember…[Read more]

I think that we’re all mature/adult enough to look beyond our differences, and besides, it’s nice to see that Yack’s back [thumbsupanim] and posting with us again!! YIPEEEEEE [specool]Good to have ya back Yack!!! [tongue]
