Well, I think everyone’s here except Simon! Come back, MortgageHunter- we miss you!! [exhappy]

Brenda- do you do your own tax returns????????? Sheesh, I think i am in a hero if i bundle mine into manila folders. How come you do your own, Brenda?

I do my own tax return but I don’t lodge it myself, that’s what tax accountants are for.

Bottom line is the ATO says you are responsible for your own tax return and if the accountant makes a big mistake, you may be still responsible.

Therefore, I am rather like the labourer on a worksite. I do all the timeconsuming work to compile the return so the foreman (tax accountant) can spend lots more time checking its all in order before I give the final signature and they lodge it for me.[grad]

Hopefully my tax accountant will not charge as much as if I just tossed a shoebox full of statements and receipts at her. Although, I have yet to find any proof to this theory.[crying]

If you want to get out of a hole, first stop digging.

Hi Kay,

talking about accountants, you know who my accountant is… but you can imagine, how big our verbal fights and disagreements are, there just not verbal, but swearing and huge arguements, that the whole neighbourhood can here…

… well we both have to completly different opinions and ideas (accountant and me)

Cheers,
sis

People 4get that by saving just $3 a day & investing it sensibly
over a working life, you’ll end up with around $1 million

Even if the shoebox has really nice shoes in it, MJK??

My accountant has been working with me foe years, and knows exactly what he’s doing- bloody good man, he is [king] Whilst i don’t turn up with a shoebox full of receipts… I do pay him to organise my finances for me. Just like I pay a hairdresser to organise my hair. I don’t chop it off myself before I get there so he’ll think I’m organised.

I do admire people who do their own taxes though- not something I engage in

Hey SIS

I think your accountant swearing at you is totally unprofessional.[biggrin] If you, on the other hand, swear at your accountant, she should give you a right good backhander[evil4], and tell you not to talk to your elders like that

Im with Crest, this has been an amazing boost even challenging me to help with what little knowledge I have from time to time. I have gained enormously from reading and adding to these pages and feel that even if some of the”oldies” aretired of the same topics repeated then maybe they could glean the odd insight from one of the newbies.

Anything could happen and often does. Lets all do what we each feel is right and all will be well.

Don’t sweat the small stuff,and it’s all small stuff!!

Seems like a cool place here, you mean it was busier than this once? Wow awesome dudes, err dudettes?
I gotta lot to learn about investing, still paying my place off, but if I keep at it, reckon I might be able to put deposit down one day on a rental place, maybe a unit or something small to start off.

Does anyone out there think that this is a good time to commence investing or should I hang onto my money and put it into shares
