Hi Scott, After losing my engineering job last year, I have been working multiple part-time positions and taking occasional work opportunities when they arise. I am in the same position I was at university, with one job taxed at the normal rate and all other ‘second jobs’ taxed at a much higher rate.

Hi Scott We recently moved to Dubai (yay -- tax-free income!).

Hi Scott, I am a recently separated woman of 50. After settlement, I might get about $140,000.

Hi Barefoot, My fiancé and I live in a large regional centre. We have a family home on a 30-year loan which we are on track to own in 12 years.

Hi Scott I need you to knock some sense into my mum! My parents are both in early 50s, and both have no money in super (they are self-employed and do not pay themselves any).

Hi Scott, My waffle-free question is this: is Saivian a scam/pyramid scheme? I searched your website but “Nothing Found”.

Hi Scott, Our 18-year-old son has a disability. He is still at school and earning a pension, which provides him $18,950 p.

Hi Barefoot, I was wondering if you could look into ‘Acorns’ and give us your thoughts. This new investing app was on the news last week.

Hi Scott, I am 23 years old and play poker full time. I currently earn about $150k a year.

Hi Scott, We’re in our late 30s with three kids (16, 14 and 5) and a household income of $220k. Here are our assets: home $350k (owe $190k), holiday cabin $40k, boat $55k (owe $20k), Mojo $10k.

Hi Scott, I read your column in the Herald-Sun on Saturday (“NAB-MLC Super Funds”) and became alarmed! My super fund is with MLC (Super Fundamentals, Horizon 6 -- Share Portfolio), which it seems you were saying has one of the highest fee structures (in relation to NAB).

Hi Scott, My husband is out of bankruptcy in March 2017. He now looks after our three kids, while I work full time, earning $120k.

Hi Scott,I've recently received an inheritance of $200k. My partner and I have $60k debt due to his past job loss coinciding with my maternity leave.

Hi Scott, Mate, what percentage of an investment portfolio should be Aussie shares compared to international shares? Considering Aussie shares provide dividends more than international shares (which are more growth oriented), I am not sure what mix I should have.

Hey BF, I am 26 years old and have about $6k tied up in CBA and AFIC shares, with the plan of buying another $5k worth and sitting on them for as long as possible (while incrementally buying more). However, I was recently looking into investing in VR (Virtual Reality) as it seems to be the next tech hit, and apparently the time to strike is now before it blows up.

Hi Scott, Due to bad advice 20 years ago, my wife and I put the family home in a company name which she had tried to get off the ground as a small business. We still have the company because we believe that to close it and return the property to our names would trigger a massive CGT impost.
