Hi there

Gotta love the mining industry:

4 on 4 off = $100K +

PS but get more fun out of driving my older series vehicles than my Toyota.......

Mate,
that's much more than I was getting ...as a doc with all this on-call and night time work, overtime, etc. and I didn't get anything else, like computers, mobile, car and this stuff. We survived, two kids, wife not working due to my working hours and were able to keep three Landies!
Cheers

But nowhere near the amount paid to the top Goose at Telstra

Obviously, none of us are in the same class as Britney Spears, who earns US$737,000 a month - and spends it all, according to today's paper (can't find a link, sorry).
Court papers reveal her monthly expenses include:

Mortgage $49,267
Clothes $16,000
Entertainment, gifts, holidays $102,000
Dining out $4758
Charitable contributions $500
Child support to her ex-husband $15,000
Spousal support $20,000.

(She had to temporarily surrender custody of her sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline because she defied a court order.)

According to the court documents she does not save or invest any of her income.

Now I reckon if my monthly income was $737,000 I could probably manage to squirrel away a few bucks here and there, even after filling my garage with Landies! Don't you think?

i make 90,000 thats 5,500 in the hand a month and im broke every month. its mainly becouse of the 240,000 morgage and a 30,000 personell loan that never gets smaller. i have 2 kids and im married. soo i dnt think i could afford to live on 65,000 . unless the wife went to work.u can send a slap if u like cos i think its unreal that im broke every month.

Geez, is this thread still going???

Ouch! That's gotta be about $25,000 a year in INTEREST (not tax deductable either).

I know ziltch about finance, but would things be cheaper if you consolidated your personal loan into the house loan. I would guess the personal loan is a much higher interest rate than the house loan at the moment.

There are a couple of finance type members here who would have proper advice, but it might be worth investigating.
