“The man that thinks at 5o as he did when he was 20 has wasted 30 years of his life”

Everdine,

I believe anything planted underneath a gum tree is going to need to be hardy as they take a lot out of the soil, so you probally won’t like it but “natives”.

clear the area, put down sheets of newspaper (cheap and it lets moisture through and as a bonus is bio-degradable) then cut holes put the natives in and “mulch’ the area.

peterp,

thanks for the valid points- possibly why property in Japan is expensive.

Still not happy about losing Some of my money in Super though. What is the Superannuation guarantee levy “really” whats guaranteed about it??

apart from the companies making $$

Thanks myydral and Muppet

Had a look at powowevents site and had a quick look at some of the information contained in the articles section ( saved most of it to browse later.)

The tickets seem reasonable but i will do as muppet says and try to acquire the book.

I also have learnt a lot from this site and hope to learn much-much more here…[Read more]

so essentialy you get less tax taken out of your pay packet and you can use that to pay off your investment quicker.. unsure, but i do recall a West Australian real estate salesman being a big propenent of this philosophy (if it’s what i’m…[Read more]

I’ve had the same thought recently as my parents who live up north are thinking of an investment property.

Firstly my residence becomes an investment and costs therefore tax deductable, we’ve improved the place a lot since we’ve been here and the suburb has ‘jumped’ in value to our delight (we made a good choice- always good to get that” i…[Read more]

How the government can get people to save!

I was once told a long while back (who knows how true it is) that in Japan your first $10 000 in a savings account attracted “no” government fees to “encourage saving”, good for the economy too. and that once your “Superannuation” hit a certain level you could borrow against it for a property .

Doogs,

My wife has been offered a novated lease for a vehicle at her work, we’re umming and arg’ing about it- not entirely sure of the setup, but thinking that all normal associated costs etc are covered by them !?

A guy i met who worked at Curtin Uni said it saved him $$ on tax and at the end of 4 years he could either pay it out at a lower…[Read more]

westan,

To be honest with you [?]

I lived there for 4 years, its only 5-6hrs from Perth, a Port city, with the wheatbelts and sheep farms etc outlying.

I’ve searched realestate.com myself and thought long and hard about the area, apart from the wind i like the place, rents and prices appear Ok, an earlier post suggested Greenough was a better…[Read more]

Enjolady and other more experienced players (many many of them Right on this site )will still continue to do well..”but” they have the experience/know-how and planning to do so. i can imagine the hours and hours of research they have done to get to this stage.

begin your researching now, search…[Read more]
