Yes, the news has made it here. Funnily enough, the Canada bit didn’t really. It’s more the Germans and French that are complaining, according to our papers.
SIS – on another thread someone asked about your forum signature. I reckon you need to invest at about 11-12% to do your $3 a day = $1million.
Where did you get that line from – and where do you get 11-12% per year, every year. Would seem to be an aggressive rather than “sensible” investment strategy… (Not saying that aggressive is not sensible, just interpreting “sensible” as akin to conservative).
I have the same problem with the kids. My third is literally due any day now (wife is 39 weeks). With the other two, I know I’m the father, but I’m still wondering whether she is actually the mother… []
Kiyosaki has a lot of good advice – as do a lot of people. However, some advice is in conflict with others. e.g. the “buy local” thing. If you do find a +CF place in the “inner east” of Sydney you describe, then good luck to you!
My advice re advice would be to read up on a number of different philosophies and pick the one that makes most sense to you in your situation.
Mortgage Hunter (or anyone), is there a way that this could be done without actually selling. ie if you were looking to buy a new place and “refinance” the old one with the bulk of the debt and use the equity in the old one on the new PPOR.
I know that this may come down to “purpose of debt” but can you transfer equity like this if you pay CGT or stamp duty or something to legitimise the purpose?
S.I.S, you obviously didn’t realise that as we are under water restrictions, it is now illegal to complain about the rain in NSW. Frank Sartor will be knocking on your door soon.
And as for cold – it’s 21C right now (10:30am). A Victorian would be out getting a tan in this temperature.
Personally, I’m rapt we’re finally getting summer weather / storms / rain / humidity etc again after last year’s non-event.
