thats even better advice, i never did the investing part so may do some of that too.
maybe should have talked to my father as well, he did invest and his shares have really helped make retirement enjoyable for him for the last 12 years or so and paid for a yearly holiday for him and my mum.
hi to all here too.
i can't off much advice but enjoy reading the comments, i can give money saving tips occassionally if anyone wants them (ie, you can make a disposable razor stay sharp for AGES if you dry it after using and give it a quick spray with cooking oil or wipe with cooking oil). |

SPEND?
Goodness me!
SAVE m friends. Save!
You must look to the future.
The people who will best survive the pending economic collapse shall be those who have acted so as to secure their financial well being in advance. |

...and raycy1!
You are right about one thing, (IMHO).
The government could have done a lot better!
Instead of wasting billions of dollars of tax payers money on failed measures which were supposed to result in the "stimulation" of a recovery but that instead simply created an unreal and highly dangerous economic situation.
The economy is now inflated far beyond any level which current and/or projected market conditions can continue to support.
As the support, ("stimulus measures") are withdrawn, the ECONOMIC DISASTER which increasingly more and more people believe is pending shall occur.
Now is NOT THE TIME SPEND!
I join with steve_b_wilson and many others who encourage everyone to act now to ensure their financial security before it is too late! |

G'day raycy1!
What a joke! You are actually encouraging people to SPEND their hard earned savings at a time when ECONOMIC DISASTER looms..Ha!
Listen mate! Stop acting so irresponsibly!
It is no skin of my back if you want to go and spend your savings anytime you like. But please do not encourage others to indulge in such risky behaviour at a time when their financial future is already at risk.

Hi rocknroll I suggest you move as I have yet to witness the struggle you say people are going through & I still see work available.
They are not calling it a recession as this is a technical term which we didn't enter.
I wasn't in Australia before 2000 so I am unable to comment on that. |

| The Biggest cause of recession is man made fear and doom and gloom causes the problem, saving money in case i lose my job, causes you to lose your job. the way out is everybody spend money, why do you think the government wasting so much money, although they could have done better, using up vast stockpiles of wool as insulation, instead of buying it in. |

| Well im very opinionated so i can hack it :) but thankyou for the heads up. Jaymarcel, hun we had a recession in the late 80's which dwindled into the early 90's I didnt feel the pinch then, though i did see what it had done to people which is nothing compared to whats this global economic downturn is doing today, and they state this isnt a recession, shame on them for todays standards in economics is alot worse than the recession in the 80's and in my opinion i do see it getting worse |

Hi rocknroll, What is the reasoning behind your fear?
We never had a recession here in Australia & the threat of recession appears to have moved on so I fail to see where you are getting the idea of a depression in Australia.
Its always good to look at the facts. |

Hello rocknrollinvlturbo!
You may be right!
Nevertheless, (I feel I should mention the following since you appear to have only recently started posting here) ... Making such an honest and disturbing, (to some) comment on these pages may lead to your being attached by "THE HECKLER TROLL"... For should that sick and lonely individual see your post, it shall may rise to respond in much the same way as a starving lion jumbs without thinking first to take a bite out of the carcass of a lamb suspended as bait from a tree... and possibly in, with equal ferocity.
My take on current events, (and judging by the increasing number of similar posts here on these pages submitted by other concerned members of the population I am not alone in my belief) is that we face a most distressing and financially challenging economic disaster followed by the very real prospect of a long and painful period of recovery.

Saddened I am by the fact that the economic difficulties which we face are clearly worsening.
Let us all life up our chins and raise our voices in chorus so as to alert each and every member of society to the pending dangers associated with the inevitable collapse of the economy.
Support steve_b_wilson!
ECONOMIC DISASTER DOES INDEED LOOM! |

A Fine Example to the World.
We should all be proud of the fact that despite the few and far between ocurrences which seem to attract far to much attention, most of the claims made for welfare payments of one kind or another are warranted. Indeed. We should all be glad to see our taxes put to good use. A use which does much to support the safety of our society and bring relief to those who would otherwise have no option but to turn to crime in order to make a living. Pension aside. We have much to be proud of when considering the manner in which welfare is managed and administered here at home. |

| Dear Mr Montague-- Indigent with Idleness are old fashion words meaning destitute -- and lazy. Australia has the most freely available social/welfare system in the world,this benevolence includes full medical care, upto and including the multi million dollar State and Federal medical system, the best offered system in the world. All available to all citizens all welcome. Education is for all to embrace by all citizens. All available all welcome. Their is no need for the word indigent to be in the Australian Dictionary, the less fortunate souls are helped and sponsored by our system that gives gratuitousley to relieve the unfortunate, without question.---- Then theres IDLENESS and the citizens who consume the provisions of welfare given gratuitousley by the generosity of all Austalians, while being able as the next person, to be industrious or self dependent. Until the INDUSTRY of self induced welfare idleness, can be funded and included in the welfare budjet,then I say the deserving 50s-60s-70s in general will be engulfed in an ever diminishing unfunded Australian pension/welfare system. |

Hi Dr xingli:)
I am with you on that one :)
What many do not seem to make allowances for when referring to the language and wording of some posts is that no-one reads these posts to learn or talk about accuracy of expression. This is a forum where anyone with any background and from anywhere around the world can post and are welcome to do so!
So IMO it is rather pointless to expect that -
1.0 They know how to perfectly express themselves in any dialect of English .
2.0 They know how to type well (an entirely different skill to English expression).
3.0 That they are always correct in their opinion.
4.0 That they are always acting in good faith.
5.0 Have the same understanding of good manners.
Having said this I personally try to give people the benefit of the doubt and look for the intended message and ideas rather than silly punctuation omissions, misspelled words, and other minor errors of form. Even when I disagree with their ideas :) It is a shame there is not a bit more understanding of this stuff evident here in AUS given the multicultural nature of our society!
So well done on taking your earlier position.
BYE :) |

| To daytrew, Hey man what planet are you coming from? If you want anyone to take you seriously, you need to go back to school and learn how to spell!!!! Oddles - there is no such word. Reconision - there is no such word. Contimental - there is no such word. Inebptness - there is no such word. Vail - Do you mean veil? Do you know the difference? Maybe you meant oodles, recognition,continental and veil. You are like so many other poorly educated contributors that shoot off at the mouth and in reality have not got the slightest idea. Mark.C. |
