If you check my profile you can work it out. Some of us have entered our full birth date including year, others just the day an month.

Anyway - 36 for me.

Cheers,
Hymee.

In that case, you're never going to live life to the max.
Money's there to be spent.
Enjoy it while it lasts and while you can.

hehe nojooc what i mean is that no point buying a car outright when all that money can be invested to make more, and you can settle to have finance with little repayments a month.

thats all.

and believe me i live life

P.S if your worrying about interest, its a tax deduction.

Confucius say : "Spend all your money quick as you can, otherwise it burn hole in your pocket!"

Nah, never really said that, but I guess that's how I live life.
Work *** off to earn max G's so I can surround myself with toys!

I wonder how many more are born is September. I am 39.

I do not own the vehicle the bank does. My accountant has advised me to keep a logbook as he said in his words...I will get a s**t load back in tax.

This allows me to free up my funds to develop more properties and make more $$$.

Tuan - I'm 17.
I wouldn't mind owning one, but for now, the bank does.
Not everybody likes a Red P plater on an RX8 these days.

you could still have your investments pay the repayments on your vehicle. Thats a obviously smarter way to do it.

if your in business and can justify the car for business use,

you get gst back,

interest claim,

and depreciation of the cost price at 30% oer annum

if you work it out, you aren't actuallty substantially out of pocket and you can use your surplus cash funds for a useful purpose such as investing or paying off debt that you can't claim..such as a home mortgage

anyway, in my case i can pay extra tax or alternatively drive my red rx and have fun...hard choice!

daily visits of investment properties is a my car deduction. And also being on emergency calls is aslo a vehicle tax deduction.

Kimba,

I sense much tension and anger in your wording.
Chill out mate, stop yelling!

Hear, hear, me too, but unfortunately this year is the 24th anniversary of that event :p

I lease my car (or rather my company does). I used to pay cash, too, but then kids came along, followed by school fees… money has to speak different languages at different stages of your life :o
