Well, there is never a dull moment when it comes to investing or the economy. We have now officially lost Australia's car manufacturing industry citing workplace conditions, wages and a high dollar as the reason. This really has been brewing for months if not years. It will be interesting to see the governments response to this over the coming months. Will it mean we no longer have import tariffs on cars from overseas? We certainly don't need to protect our car industry anymore!
After a good year for the stock market in 2013, this year promises to be the same. Or does it? This month we look at 2 different views on how 2014 could pan out.The property market has had a long awaited recovery and will probably peak some time this year. This continually makes it difficult for the first home buyer. This month we look at an effective way for for first home borrowers to save for their first home. You have to be nuts not to take advantage of this.
We also look at how we can minimise tax with our article: 6 ways to minimise your tax. This provides some sound strategies to reduce tax immediately and over the long term.
