thanks to all for the contribution,

I forgot to add one, (almost crucial) thing: Whilst the tenants are renting, the house will remain my PPoR. So in other words, the tenants and I will be living in the same house.
I’m guessing the tax and legal structures would be different? Would it be possible to buy landlord’s insurance for this…[Read more]

a seafood buffet for the price of a coffee that takes 5-minutes to down? is it really that bad? and this is in Beijing?

nup, not a question.

Thanks for contributing calvin and Dr. X

the other day a company called to ask for my pop. I told them that he wasn’t available and asked if they wanted to leave a message.
they then asked me a question which was totally irrelavant to what they were trying to market, which somehow, made me answered yes.
This is a bit like that game where someone…[Read more]

As Kiyosaki mentioned, all the info he provides is only a guide and no guarantees are made just like his father did likewise to him.

Hi Jason,

Sorry can’t help with the advice ur looking for but I would recommend that you check if it is suitable for you to put a ezy dvd where you are located.

For example, I chatted with an employee/manager of a ezy dvd store in a fairly busy shopping centre and asked him if it usually is busy, he replied that it usually is busy in christmas…[Read more]

Simon, What is meant when you mentioned the following:

Also, When I do look for an accountant what sort of qualifications/attributes should I look for in an accountant?

Possibly the following?

my big money making idea is to be:

a smart and rich businessman who buys mutual funds [tongue]

ah yes.. some exit clauses

you could use this one: “Subject to business partner’s approval” the business partner can be anyone including your pet dog or pet fish. Just don’t tell them who the business partner is though[tongue]

Adding on the competition idea,
you could get customers to spend a set amount on internet usage (maybe $30 – $50) by a certain date, to enter a competition for something like a movie pass or even a dinner for two.. it doesn’t have to stop there; dvd rental vouchers, gift cards, cologne, mobile credit etc etc..
the more coveted the better!

Hmm… I too want to set up a similar venture.
How much capital is involved in setting up such a cafe?

Some suggestions

– Find an internet software that uses both; with and without an account, ie. customers can prepay hours on their account for…[Read more]

I admit i did omit some information.

Whilst being a student, I am working casually down at the local supermarket.

So would I still be able to claim all, if not part of the seminar?

Thanks to all who replied.

I’m currently with “which bank?” and I fully concur, the service is terrible. One day I needed to organise my accounts and they mentioned that I needed to reprint my account details on the special card, I was told to sign the card, for the bank’s reference. Before doing anything, I read what was below on the card.…[Read more]

thanks Mortgage hunter!

After setting up an account there should be virtually no problem with security then.

as quoted from a solicitor: Trust laws will change and it will come hard on those who have trusts. or words to that effect, correct me if im wrong.

so Nobleone, does that mean that investing now in the US will lead to great losses? what about investing during the collapse?

sorry if my Q’s sound really silly, but i’d rather be a fool for 5 mins than forever.

I don’t understand how the economy is structured and how it works. what is this about oil prices in euros?

Anyway although a bit off topic,
theorically speaking, how would the oil crisis respond to a introduction of an alternate method of fuel?

In other words, what if someone came up with a very reliable electric/solar/renewable energy…[Read more]

Thank you to all who replied.

Actually the company hosting the “free investment seminar is a financial planning group, does that indicate anything I should steer clear from?
