That's what all <30 single home loaners say... They preach the work-hard-young-to-enjoy-investments-later but they all come around eventually...

(Unless they have trust funds to milk)

Apparently I can't offset my home loan in cos I've got 3 years fixed? (well can but gotta pay like $1500 to change loan type) But I can put upto 10k a year ontop of what I'm already paying for those 3 years.. so should i just sink everything into it that I can and withdraw if I need it down the track?

I'm in 2 minds about the whole pay home loan off quick or have a life / travel, do shit, buy shit instead :P or maybe I just need to find a good balance.

Comes down to where you want to end up.

If you are happy with owning 1 house which can be repaid working in a comfortable job I say enjoy the extra money on what makes you happy.

If you are working hard within a job which is unsustainable, you would want to pay off home as much as you can so you can refinance to a more comfortable level in the future.

If you want to grow your property portfolio, start saving for a deposit for the next place.

Although I'm not sure if property investment as an individual is worth it anymore....

With all these apartments popping up funded by developers and millionaires skewed towards negative gearing I can foresee more supply than demand for rental properties.

This man knows what he's on about. Not to mention once you have paid off an investment property the amount of tax the government rapes you for and paying shit like rates, insurance and water for some tenant who is happily ruining your property. The only way you're making anything is through capital gains and oh, wait there's a friggen tax for that too. Whether you pay off the loan slowly and save on tax or go the other way and pay off quick to save interest, someone is making money off you. Bank or government. Property investment is over rated. Buy a home to live in. Pay it off and then enjoy life and spending money on shit that makes you happy.

Incorrect...

The trust that owns the property uses the losses carried forward from the previous financial year(s) to offset the GCT event doesn't it? :P

If there is enough losses to offset the gain then it couldn't have been such a great investment.

If you have an online redraw facility then you might as well reduce interest by paying it down.

Exactly, just put as much money as you can into the home loan, knowing you can redraw if necessary. The quicker you pay your home loan the more money you save!!! Especially in the first few years of the loan try to put as much as you can into it, so you start paying off more principal. Well that's what I did anyway :)

Dezz's new jetski matches his shoes.... which is a pity as you don't wear shoes while jetskiing

its not how you ride your jetski, its how you stand next to it at the petrol station. you better learn that.

Never been on a jetski, sure it'd be fun but I'd never use it.. barely use my motorbikes and they go on the ROAD!

On another note, what's the normal rise when getting promoted? keeping in mind it's still similar area of work etc.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
