Don't worry Bitingmidge, I am pretty hard to offend when it comes to talking financials! Mostly I am just happy when people have actually worked out what suits them best rather than just doing something because they believe it to be the thing to do without doing any kind of analysis for themselves.
Plenty of people used to flick the saying "rent money is dead money" at us, to which I promptly replied "so what does that make interest?" Interesing how few people had put any kind of thought to that question prior to my asking...
Anyhow, 3 months into the whole mortgage thing, and we're 4 weeks ahead :) Dunno if we can keep that up, but it would be nice :)
Sometime after the Mrs has finished her degree, I plan to go and do post grad in Applied Finance/Economics. I've turned all Alex P Keaton :)

Well there we are. Thinking it was the RBA/World Banks/Governments who decided the rate rises (or falls) when all along it has been our own fault.
AUSTRALIANS must cut spending to help drive down inflation - or risk another rate rise later this year. That's the grim Reserve Bank warning backed by industry experts who argue homebuyers should merge debts and concentrate on paying off their homes. The RBA yesterday said inflation was stubbornly staying high because we are spending too much.
So what will you be cutting back on - if you have to?

Nothing because I don't spend beyond my means. It's the finance availble to people who can't afford it generating much of the spending.

That's why I bought everything I need last year! I don't have to buy anything at all now, so I'm doing my bit for the economy.
