Welcome to the October newsletter
Welcome to the October edition of our newsletter.
It’s lovely to see some growth returning to managed funds and shares. Australian shares climbed 0.5% recently to a 14-month high following seven straight days of growth as investors feared missing out on further gains. Meanwhile the RBA has cut the official cash rate to 3.25%, with further cuts expected before year end as the resources boom loses steam. See the Economic Report by Chris Caton, Chief Economist of BT.
For our readers on Temporary 457 Visas claiming Living Away From Home Allowance (LAFHA), please read the article on recent changes.
Whilst we are all striving for long, affluent and healthy lives, bad things happen to good people so we have an article on financially surviving breast cancer and helping the elderly with estate planning.
On a more basic level we look at top tips for buying your first home.
We hope you enjoy the articles and we always welcome any feedback or ideas of what you would like to see in future newsletters.
Wishing you a great month,
Regards
Gordon Hatch
