Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

I got the targetted email - so I will press the panic button tonight and call them. I'll let you know how it goes. My experience of US phone lines is that they do my head in - am not looking forward...

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

I noticed the availability with Lifemiles seemed to be pretty good, and I may look at it again.

With the AA deal, we are looking at one way business and return cattle, which for $1800 is a good...

Re: House prices

This is too complicated. Wouldn't you need a relatively large sum of cash upfront to be able to live of the proceeds?

Re: House prices

So much to counter in your post;
1. Regional town unemployment is lower there than the cities.
2. Historically property has always been about cost, value and re sale.
3. The reason its partially...

Re: House prices

I'd agree with that, however, not everyone is negatively geared, or believes in that. I'm not. I try to cover my costs and then pay down. It works for me and I think I'd rather do that than rely on...

Re: PR for the over 50s

Re: House prices

The ONLY thing I think I have done well at in Aus in my twelve years here is property.
