Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 30 July, 2018 We’re a bit of a laughing stock, aren’t we? Some 10 years after the GFC and our little first world country’s stock market is still underwater. How embarrassment. Pathetic. The ASX/200 peaked around 6828 points and we’re still sitting around 6250 – still about 8.5 per […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 16 July, 2018 Cheers from Hanoi, Vietnam! This city has certainly changed in the 20 years since I was first here. More so than I have. In that time, I’ve got married, had two DebtKids, bought a few homes, changed careers, built a couple of businesses and it wouldn’t […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 9 July, 2018 A big tax bill can sometimes be a nice problem to have – particularly if it has come care of a monster bonus. I got that very call from a new client, just a week or so before the end of the financial year. “I’m getting a […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 18 June, 2018 It seems property markets have puffed out – and statistics everywhere seem to be declaring a turning of the tides. Sydney and Melbourne property markets have passed their prime, their use-by date. And they’re starting to get a bit whiffy. But for the West? Well, it’s […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 4 June, 2018 It’s a bit fresh outside. Which makes it the perfect time for our favourite indoor sports. Not that indoor sport. Get your minds out of the gutter. I’m talking about “grand final” time for your personal finances. And as most of your finances are handled via your […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 30 April, 2018 Integrity. What does it mean to you? A large number of people in the financial industry don’t seem to know what integrity means. Or perhaps they do, but simply don’t possess any. Australians are understandably wondering how deep this rot runs. Is the Royal Commission just […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 16 April, 2018 It’s certainly not the first time Mrs DebtMan has asked the question. So perhaps I should start getting a little concerned. “What happens if you die suddenly?” She asked this again just last week. It was our first night of a short run without the kids (who […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 9 April, 2018 The best wars, the ones that are absolute crackers and that grab us viewers by the throats, are those that take place over years, even decades. Tennis grand slams. The Olympics. World Cup Soccer. The Ashes. When they occur, each of these, individually, are “battles”. But they […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 26 March, 2018 Last week, my little DebtGirl’s head was spinning Exorcist-like at her daddy – full of vile and bile – for about half an hour. Moments of it might have been truly scary to an outsider. Neighbours might have been tempted to call the cops. I was, apparently, […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 12 March, 2018 Young people say some naïve, stupid stuff sometimes. They also do stupid stuff, think stupid stuff and stress about stupid stuff. Not all the time. (And we older types aren’t immune to acts of stupidity.) When we see or hear youngsters doing stupid stuff and call it […]
