Hi Scott,I know this is not a money question -- I just want to thank you for your article on ‘The Ultimate Father's Day Present’. That is the best advice ever.

Hi Scott We have been doing our best to ‘go Barefoot’. My husband and I (aged 58 and 47, with kids aged 7 and 5) have downsized our home, from a $750k mortgage to a $420k one -- and loving it!

Hi Scott, I am an avid reader of the Barefoot Investor. I have recently come across a company which claims they can help me pay off my principal place of residence in record time (through negative gearing, deferred investment mortgages and claiming a monthly tax return instead of waiting for the end of the year, showing a loss).

Hi Scott, I have an SMSF that I set up some years ago when I invested in land syndicates. The projected maturity date was somewhere between of 2012 and 2014 ...

Hi Barefoot,I’m wanting to buy my first home but don't have a deposit. I earn $37,000 a year.

Hi Scott, We bought 36,000 points in Wyndham Vacation Resorts, but we were retrenched two years ago and have had only part-time employment since then and are struggling to keep up with the club fees of $219 per month. My partner needs two operations over the next year, and we don’t expect to be able to go on holiday anytime soon, or for any extended period in the future.
