The car I bought in 2001. Followed by the car I bought in 2007. Then the one I bought in 2012. In the latter two cases, I was already…

Mad Max on Collect 2,000 flybuys Points with $50 Online Spend and 2,000 Points with $100 Spend on Selected Items @ First Choice LiquorFor me, it almost always seems to take about 3 to 4 weeks which means it's hard to know if some are being missed (typically I probably take…

troy1976 commented on 'Notice of Intention to Leave' - How Soon Do You Feel Tenants Should Notify The Real Estate Agency at End of Lease Renewal?
A few thoughts on this. As per others, it depends on your State's tenant legislation how much notice you have to give (and some people are…

troy1976 commented on $15/week rent increase: justified?
Only you really know what the rent conditions are in your area to know if it's worth copping it. I think $15 is a bit rich but no tenancy…

Just on the GST thing - I'm 100% guessing here but if you mean US$700 and above, that would make it A$1,000 and I suspect they then get…
