$900 - What are you spending it on? - Page 2

Personally, stay away from LG's and go for either a Panasonic, Pioneer or Sony for TV's, I have had friends that have bought LG & Samsung tv's cause they were cheap, to have them blow up within the first 6 months...

We were going to get a 42" Panasonic, but realised it would be too big for our place...

Lol where did you hear THAT bs? From the ATO website:

"All cheque and EFT payments will be made using a post code selection process that is randomly generated, ensuring all post codes are evenly distributed to each state and territory each night (using the Australia Post predetermined percentage spread). For this reason and because of security concerns, we are not planning to publish a distribution schedule."

DRUGS - HOOKERS - ROCK AND ROLL.

I don't know what your debts and situation are, but if you filed a tax return and you paid some tax last year, your income was less than $100,000, and you're an Australian resident, then you'll get the bonus.

Mussing,

What I posted in the other bonus thread:

Payments will start from early April 2009. People who have already had their tax returns assessed will be the first to receive their payment. The fastest way to receive payment is directly into your bank account.

The later you lodge your 2007-08 tax return, the longer it will take for you to get your payment.

So if you did your return on the 1st of July, you will receive your payment faster then someone who did it on the 18th of October...

It sounds like the ATO is like a woman: always changing there minds

bourbon · 07-04-2009, 06:08 PM

This might be referring to Youth Allowance or Austudy. I'm on Youth Allowance (although I'm yet to actually earn low enough to get any monies) and I've already gotten the $950 student bonus for it ^_^

Batty · 08-04-2009, 07:19 AM

Mine is going to pay the electricty bill and a tv antenna for the shed. I'll drink what's left.

I only pay the correct amount of TAX - As minimal as possible.

but what can you do.

I can't belive people still worry about Tv size.
Okay I use a 42inch LCD for a PC screen but 60inch plasma I have as main Tv - it's still not big enough.
seriously it is not. They never are big enough. It's a never ending cycle. It's like power figures not matter even if oyu can't get 800Hp to the ground even if it sends you spinning around and around. Once your use to it - you want.

but here is something to think about. Even if you have it all setup HD Digital Foxtel Tv- or similar - What the hell are you watching. I can't watcH free to air anymore. And even PayTV is **** - I pay an extra $22 for each extra box a month and yet, I find it's only for sport and Overseas news. The amount of **** on TV, you have to be stoned - high and pissed at the same time to watch it.

New Rattle Gun. Rachet Spanner Set, Large Multi Grips, A Better Oil Filter Tool, New Impact Sockets and then claim all that back on Tax in July,

..

Yeah all at once.

You get stoned-HIgh on the way to the Club - you rack up or pop on the way through the Door and you get trashed through out the night.

Trust me it takes 5 years off your life, you wake up in places in position and with pain in places you can't figure out but at least you have a smile on your face.
Then you Pop a pill and go to work.

Or you sometimes end up doing things because IT looked like it was good at the time. Or your thought it was good Idea.
