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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
