saw you here & thought I'd take the chance to say Hi
A bit about myself; I live in Parramatta (just renting an apartment while I build some townhouses - my old house was rezoned & was going to take a lot of work to renovate & it made more sense financially to knock it down, split the land into three & build townhouses - so right now I'm a part time builder too :P
I Just live by myself & have one brother (but he's really messy so sharing a place with my brother would send me crazy - I'm the neat one :P) & my real; mother died long ago from cancer & my father has re-married & has now retired & lives outside Australia more than 50% of the time since that's part of my Dad's strategy to not pay Australian tax on investment income; to not to be an Australian resident :P That's the one bad thing about this country is the tax regime is completely crazy & you get rewarded for not working & penalized badly for working ??? Crazy right ? So my Dad is like being on holidays all the time; I really wish I can retire like that when I'm his age :P
