With the current world economy the way it is,  and interest rates as low as they are,  i kinda find it hard not to want to buy a piece of australia to call my own.

Unfortunately since i am working overseas and not living in the joint I'm not eligible for the first home buyers grant or any kinda government incentives except a few tax benefits.  Which kinda changes my tack a bit,  At first i wanted to buy a decent place,  a place that i could live in if i was to go back in the next 3-5 years,  but since i am nto eligible for any of the grants,  i might aim a lil lower.

since its just gonna be an ivnestment property to take advantage of the low rates, and just to get some equity under my belt,  might just get something a lil cheaper in a steady growth area, and just let it sit. 

All this being said,  i still need to save money for a deposit.  Need to start cutting expenses.  Now, there are a lot of ways i could do this,  easiest would be to cut down smoking etc, which although highly unlikely i will try hehehehe, i guess once my car is paid off next march i will have that extra cash to put away too.  But i guess im just gonna have to maybe take a few light bulbs out here and there,  use a fan instead of air con and drive less, eat at home more, and do all that kinda shit, less outing as well i guess. 

yeah... time to buy a house...just in case i need a place to hide out anytime soon...hehehe
