Is it ok for me to spend my Centrelink money on slow horses and fast women?
LOL! Go for it! That's what dole payments are there for, to stimulate the economy instead of the rich hoarding that money and doing nothing with it. The funniest thing is that I can't think of a more carbon neutral way to spend your money than on prostitutes.
Simple easy online business ideas?how to get started?
What do 99 out of 100 people want to do if time and money were not an issue? It is travel. If 80 percent of people are already booking online, what does that tell you? People love to talk about their vacations and show pictures of the good times they had with family and friends. They love to talk about the people they met, the different cultures they interacted with and the new friends they made along the way. Travel encompasses so many industries from flights, cruises, hotels, cars, vacations and much more. Go to any major airport, any cruise terminal and see the long lines of people. They didn't get those flights or cruises for free. They booked them some where, most likely online. Travel is a simple and not complicated. People have been booking online for ten years plus. The only difference now is that instead of the big people of internet travel hogging of all the commissions and benefits, the everday "joe traveler" can now enjoy some extra income.

What it is like to quit your job and travel the world?
Well I didn't go as far as traveling the whole world but...A year ago I quit my job, sold everything I owned, bought a bicycle, a tent and set off for a ride. I cycled through UK to France and then to Spain.It was scary. Fear of change, of how I'm going to cope, where am I going to sleep, how will I communicate without knowing the language (I've done it once already when I first came to the UK, but still...), how will my life look like if everything I know is here and I'm setting off to the unknown...It was amazing experience for many reasons:I learned that fear always makes everything looks scarier than it actually is in reality (FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real)I learned that I'm stronger than I thoughtI learned to believe in myselfI learned that the world isn't as scary as TV wants us to believeI learned that not changing the bike saddle that comes with the bike was a bad idea... :)I learned a bit of FrenchI got to see the night sky every nightI learned that scary is better than boringI got to see places so beautiful that no photo can make me feel as I felt back thenI met some amazing peopleI learned a bit of SpanishI learned to let go of things that don't serve meI slept in a different place every nightI conquered Pyrenees on a bicycle... over 3 hrs of non stop pedaling uphill was the toughest and one of the most amazing experiences in my lifeI learned a lot about myself. What I value in life etc...met some more fantastic peoplebottle fed a baby goat named ZiggyI've knocked together a wooden house for turkeysmilked a goat (not too easy at the first time)I grew, I grew and I grew some moreI could probably go on forever but what I want to say here is: This is experience that will make you grow, that will show you who you are and teach you some important lessons in life... Do it! You'll thank yourself for it... :)Some Photos (Galaxy S2 camera ):
What is a good way to save money with a small salary?
I think I am Qualified for this answer -According to me there will be two step for saving money 1st one would be save money and second would be create more money.Save Money - :1. Put the money aside that you want to save then plan your month with the rest of the money.2. Set your priorities with rest of the money and work on them accordingly.3. separate your needs and wants and live on your needs not on your wants.4. Adjust your needs as well.Make more money -:Go for second income as well. As by only saving you can never save so much money with a small salary. try to work on some weekends, I would suggest to work on contract basis/freelancer so that you are not always bound to anyone take a project finish it, take rest for a while and enjoy with extra money that you earned and then go for next project when you are ready.Some points to remember -: 1. Never adjust so much that you kill your interests, put some money aside(let say 10%, money will grow with your salary) for the things in which you are interested. 2. Never adjust on a healthy diet (I have seen some of my friends doing so), if you are doing so you are killing yourself.Summary - So after considering all the three points mentioned above that's how it goes.Keep 10% aside for your things of interests.keep 20% aside for your diet.keep 30% aside for your needs(House rent, travelling fare, little work of maintenance of various things).keep 10% as buffer for any of the above.Now you can save 30%(which is really a significant amount) of your salary. at the end of the month(or whatever your cycle is for getting paid) what ever extra left from that 70%, save that too.chase your wants from extra income, I would never suggest to save that extra income unless you really need to.P.S. This is my own experience(personal and observed), this is a way of saving money but not the only way for it. Percentage that I mentioned above, works for me, you may plan accordingly.Thanks for A2A Manderas Hailu
How soon can humans move to and live on Mars?
Will humans ever colonize Mars?It’s a tough question that NASA and other experts are racing to answer. They suggest our first trips might be two decades from now.There’s one man who’s crazy enough to say otherwise. His name is Elon Musk, and he’s shooting for 2024.Elon Musk burst onto the SpaceX stage last week and made a pretty bold declaration: humans will hit Mars by 2024. For those of us still adjusting to facial recognition, the idea of selfies on Mars might be a bit much to stomach.But Musk is certain the company will reach many launches a day with hundreds of passengers on board each time…a belief that puts SpaceX’s goal to reach the planet ahead of NASA and other countries’ space programs. Just a quick heads up before you pull up Yelp to check dinner reservations on Mars—a one-way trip will take three to six months and put a $200,000 dent in your wallet.As for Musk and SpaceX, the question still remains: how will they pay for it?That’s a great questionMuch of SpaceX’s current $16 billion valuation hinges on expected future revenue from launching nearly 4,000 satellites into space and offering better global internet access—the largest internet communication system right now has around 55 satellites.But to launch his mega-fleet of glorified TV dishes, Musk will need more than $1.3 billion in cash on hand. Better yet, he’ll need SpaceX to remain cash flow positive. And that’s easier said than done. The company has long promoted that it is “profitable and cash flow positive” on its website. With last September’s Falcon 9 mishap, the phrase was quickly removed.And finally……here’s something to think about while you sift through flight deals for your next Martian getaway. SpaceX projects annual revenue of ~$30 billion in 2024—the year it could take its first trip to Mars. But the cost of one trip could tally up to $4 billion for just four people…and Musk wants to bring hundreds…daily!It seems ludicrous, sure. But this is the same guy that disrupted the auto industry, is building an underground (and above-ground) network for supersonic transportation, and is reinventing solutions for solar energy.What’s colonizing a potentially uninhabitable planet in the next decade?If you’re all about following Musk’s next crazy idea, or you just love to know what’s going on in the business world.
