Then there is the risk that the AUD goes up or down against the USD. I am an Australian living in the US and have accoutns, mutual funds, stocks etc. in both countries.mOOmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440274434662150925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12898829.post-1140414433140007852006-02-19T21:47:00.000-08:002006-02-19T21:47:00.000-08:00rose - good luck on getting out of debt! thats cr...rose - good luck on getting out of debt! thats crazy that you can get 5.4% at ING in Australia.

I' m in purge mode.<BR/>There's a few good things about working at a bank.<BR/>There's huge potential to get a better positon and the advertise postions all the time internally.<BR/>I feel pretty lucky, I'm going to do a online degree in accounting and the bank's going to pay for that.<BR/>Overall my debts include the cc<BR/>plus no interst finance for furniture for two years.<BR/>I' m planning to pay that of before the interset rate kicks in.<BR/>Their so sneaky. they charge a $3 monthly fee for every month you have debt. From what you have posted the cc companies in the USA are total bastards. I have never encountered interest rates being raised if you miss a payment.<BR/>They are such scum. And what about those checks you can write to your self. Talk about irresposible!<BR/>People just end not being able to pay it back and declare bankruptcy<BR/>What's the point to that!<BR/>The bank's and cc companies are i fierce competiton with each other here so at least the consumer dosen't get too ripped off.<BR/>I feel bad for all those young kids who get cc. They won't realise until it's too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12898829.post-1140307564641309852006-02-18T16:06:00.000-08:002006-02-18T16:06:00.000-08:00Just a few more comments.My original debt was 6500...Just a few more comments.<BR/>My original debt was 6500.00<BR/>I was almost at the end of my tether. owing that much on a part time wage was just not healthy.<BR/>You've done really really well.<BR/>$13000k in less than a year.<BR/>Pretty impressive. <BR/>At the moment I'm paying about $240 /wk on rent for a 2 bedroom unit .
