Both your palms need shaving! Why? you are born here, you pay taxes all your life, you contribute, you scrimp and save, and some flog politician decides you 'don't deserve it' ... rubbish! ...and you can be sure they get theirs no matter what their assets! If you work your entire life in Aus...

I don't top my super up at all, it's employer contributions only, into a cash fund only. It gets about 3.5%. but it is the 'safest' of the available options for me at the moment. The Grubbyment have shifted the goal posts many times throughout the game, since I started 'saving' they have moved...

Many thanks for that EM

During the war both Deutschmarks and $US were used interchangeably, I think with a 1/1.5 pretty much fixed trading ratio, you could spend either, and would get change in either (or even both) A lot of cafes had locally printed credit 'chits' they'd give you in lieu of change I do remember...

Already in process, thanks for the advice ;)

Any opinions? The subject forums range from 'Jack is awesome', to 'burn Jack at the stake' I'm thinking of one with all the mods, giving me the ability to change coils, GBI like the idea of NO interference, if that is a fact. I haven't spoken to anyone who actually owns one. Anyone own one...

Demonise a group of coins!! make it a crime to own one, that'll be coming soon! Nazi regalia is now highly collectible. It's a piece of gold/silver/copper, if I could get it closer to spot than I could get PM coins, hell yes, back the truck up! Unfortunately, I'd most likely be guilty of a...

Sorry, slightly off topic.... I rang the state government map supplier to buy some paper maps in 1/25000 scale in an area I metal detect, I have multiple GPS's, but have always preferred a paper map in a waterproof folder with me as well. Anyway, I get through to "customer service' and the...

I have to say, it wasn't what you would call 'easy' while I was getting the mortgage paid, i just kept plugging away, keeping the finish line in sight. but now, my friends, family etc. all tell me how much happier I now seem, obviously there is a noticeable difference that I didn't see in myself...

Money is merely a medium that allows me to make purchases that I would consider real wealth. I work to earn "fiat/money/cowrie shells/tulip bulbs/shrunken skulls" whatever I simply trade my labour and skills for a state decreed fiat mechanism. then take that 'money' and use it as a medium of...

I live not far from Albany, I must have driven past their storefront hundreds of times. I went in once and asked if they sold, or could source bullion grade sovereigns for me, they actually laughed at me, and with an extemely sh1tty attitude, basically told me not to bother them again unless I...
