I'm a simple guy trying to finish college. Hope to be working soon so that I can start making my fortune! A teacher, friend, soon-to-be lover, writer, blogger, speaker, thinker and ultimately, a human being.
I love talking about my thoughts - the questions in my mind that I've found the answer to... Or not. I love writing and sharing my thoughts to other people. Wisdom is something that should not be kept to one's self.

Novated lease program - A novated lease program is an effective way to save tax and beneficial for both employers and employees. By taking out a novated lease you are able to make your finance repayments from your pre-tax income. As your tax is reduced it effectively increases the income you take home. By taking out a fully maintained novated lease you can also pay for the running costs of your vehicle, such as fuel, servicing, registration and insurance from your pre-tax income. This realistically can save you thousands of dollars each year in tax. Novated leases aren’t just limited to the employee but also their spouse which can further increase the tax savings for the household. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117385708
Global update - The RBA research showing that export prices rose nearly 4 percent for the March quarter, the first rise since the end of 2008 was good news. But export price levels remain 27 percent lower than a year ago. The recent news that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) now rates Australia as number 8 in the world’s richest got a few lines in the papers but few financial journalists read the full report. The IMF looked at the 33 richest countries and not only rated Australia’s position to number 8 but also stated we will climb to number 7 within 3 years. But as the top six currently include Luxemborg, Singapore and Hong Kong where Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is swollen by multinationals taking advantage of the low tax rates, the true position of our GDP indicates Australia is more like the 5th richest economy and moving towards the number 4 spot. An incredible situation, which no one was predicting just a couple of years ago. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117385657
Manufacturing update - Activity in the manufacturing sector expanded at its fastest pace in eight years in April largely on the back of the stronger building and infrastructure sectors, a leading survey has found. The Australian Industry Group (AIG) Performance of Manufacturing Index rose considerably to stand at its highest point since 2002 which the AIG describes as indicating Australian manufacturing activity regaining lost ground during the recent downturn. There are certainly no signs of the much-quoted two speed economy. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117272801
RBA increase cash rate by .25 percent - The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has again increased the cash rate by 25 basis points. This has been as a result of fears that inflation will continue to rise. This now brings the official cash rate to 4.5 percent. The cash rate has now been increased six times in the past eight months. Amid concerns of the rate of inflation is the increase in housing prices. House prices across Australian capital cities increased by an average of 20 percent in the last year. The mortgage rate should now be around average levels for most borrowers compared to the low levels set last year. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117272054
Housing update - A storm has been caused by the official figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) which show Australia’s house prices in capital cities are now rising at an annual rate of 20 percent. This has forced more economists to add their names to the talk of a price bubble. Melbourne led the charge with a staggering 28 percent lift, but the Sydney average price is still 12 percent higher. Bells are ringing from experienced analysts who insist all the factors are now in place for a price correction later this year. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117272078
Lexus to meet hybrid demand - Car manufacturers are constantly finding ways to stay competitive in the market place. With demand for more efficient and economically friendly cars we are finding a turn in trends for hybrid vehicles. Lexus have now announced that they will be taking on this market in the hatchback stakes to compete with the Audi A3, BMW 1-Series and Mercedes-Benz B-Class. This vehicle will give Toyota’s premium brand “Lexus” the much needed car they require in the luxury compact field. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117272029

Who benefits from an equipment rental scheme? - An equipment rental scheme is beneficial for anybody who is in business and wanting to grow or update their equipment without tying up valuable cash resources. It is also beneficial for those that are looking at setting up a new business to reduce their upfront costs. Franchisees often look to a rent-try-buy scheme as it safeguards them in many ways. There is no need to offer directors guarantees which means they don’t need to offer their house as security. Rentals do not appear on the balance sheet so it will not affect their borrowing capacity for other uses. Rental payments are also 100% tax deductible. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117271751
Positive financial year - Australian executives are expecting a strong finish to the financial year and are confident of a robust business performance for the remainder of 2010. The Dun & Bradstreet Business Expectations Survey of business expectations for the June 2010 quarter found almost one third of respondents expected their profit levels to increase in the quarter. Dun & Bradstreet’s chief executive Christine Christian says improved expectations across all indices indicate that executives believe that the 2010 financial year will be far more promising than the prior year. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117270973
BMW X1 release - BMW have released a compact version of their SUV range. The smaller version is expected to attract younger consumers to BMW. It is a vehicle suitable for singles and families with one or two children. As pricing is at entry level, you can expect to pay only $5,000 more than the base model 1 series hatchback. Visually the X1 looks like a shrunken version of the ever popular X5. As the X1 is a smaller model it does tend to look like a sportier looking car, which once again appeals to the younger consumer. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117271074

Gamer’s Fact or Fiction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - The growth of the popularity of video game consoles and the rise of high-tech gaming laptops has brought the affliction of the carpal tunnel syndrome to the public. A common condition contracted by people who perform assembly line work like manufacturing, sewing, cleaning, and food packing, the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, one of the largest nerves running from the forearm to the hand, gets compressed at the wrist. This nerve controls sensations and movements in the palm side of the fingers and thumbs, including the small muscles in the hand. In CTS, the tissue of the carpal tunnel surrounding the median nerve becomes inflamed and compresses the nerve, resulting to numbness, pain, or weakness in the hand and/or wrist. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117206757
Your Local Channels Right on your Computer Screen - Your Local Channels Right on your Computer Screen december 29, 2012 by kristel cuneta leave a comment (edit) Even with the convenience of modern computers and internet technology, there is still charm and appeal in the 20th century technology of the television. Being able to flip through numerous channels and discover new shows as you go along is something that is hard to give up on, despite all of the new innovations that you can acquire over the World Wide Web. However, there is a way to get the best of both worlds, and that is by getting the television into your computer. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117206740

End of financial year sales - There are only seven more weeks until the end of the financial year. As such, car manufacturers are already starting to reduce the prices on their vehicles. As the year comes to an end budgets are required to be met, so manufacturers slash their prices to ensure they reach their targets. This is a great time of year to obtain the car of your choice at a reduced price. By starting to look for a car now you will be provided with a wider range of cars to choose from before the stock is cleared. http://www.onlywire.com/r/117385779
