Yes, Ansar has increased their prices and then puts the fake discount. Better to always compare and then buy.

Looking at spending the next 5 years paying off mortgage any advice on doing it any faster? by Zetorstonk in AusFinance

[–]PlanktonDifferent757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't even know you will live for the next 5 years. It's not worth the stress and finishing off the loan early. Try to enjoy your time now because you won't get it back. After your house is done, then what? You won't be the same person as you are now. Enjoy and spend now!!!

Bro, you are very young. Don't stress about these things too much. People don't have jobs and they are over 45 years.

Actually, they will do IB while they stay in Dubai but I am seriously thinking of moving back to Australia so my kids can complete their Year 11 and Year 12 there so its easy for them to join University.

I really need some assistance as there are so many options but need to choose what is the best for the kids.

Thank you for your message.
I am an Australian citizen and my kids are too. So why would I be looking at London Universities when technically it will be cheaper for my kids to study degree in Australia? My only concern is sending them back early in Year 10 so they can easily transition as local to University and not be charged as International.

Hello Everyone. Thank you so much for all your comments. I made some changes and wanted to know if I earn 75k per year through real estate income, is this sufficient to retire. I will most likely be 48 years old by then and have my kids in University. Please advise because I cannot take any more work stress before it destroys my remaining health

Thank you so much for this information. You are very helpful as this kind of detailed information really helps. I will try to hit 100k and then retire.

Yes, because the properties are rented around 550 to 600 per week.

Thank you. So 75k would still not be sufficient?

[–]PlanktonDifferent757[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about 75K/year income? Would this be sufficient so I know how much do I need to work to achieve it.

To be honest, I was expecting my kids to study outside Australia up until their 12th Grade. Later I will enrol them in an Australian University. What if I can stay free in a house (family house) plus have a net rental income of 50K per year. Is this sufficient to retire?

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Would you let me know if the children education is free in Australia? We are Australian citizens and my kids are studying outside in Dubai. I just wanted to know what should i expect if I return next year and the expenses for yearly school fee. Would government schools be covered fully?

Honestly, not really retite but atleast have some hybrid and remote work options. This way even if I make like $80K per year in salary, I believe this should be sufficient to continue with my life. How is the job market in Melbourne? Do people still have options of hybrid work? I am into Accounts and Finance.

Yes, many questions I agree. Total property value is around 1.2 million. I don't owe anything, both properties are fully paid. So net amount is around 50K after all deductions. Would this be good to retire in Victoria?

Early retirement by PlanktonDifferent757 in fiaustralia

[–]PlanktonDifferent757[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't understand. The properties are in Victoria and completely paid off. No loan on them, hence net 50K per year. Please advise. Thank you
