Just about -ready- for a holiday
May. 30th, 2010 09:51 pmOver the past few days I have managed to catch up on sufficient chores that my brain is prepared to wind down for a couple of days. Of course, I'm out of time. Again, this is why I wanted a solid week.
A lot of the time has been spent sleeping in, or not-functioning-at-optimal-capacity, but it still hasn't been downtime.
Currently I'm hoping to keep this week to four days, or at most five and take the full long weekend at the end of it.

An awful lot of time seemed to be spent thinking about the next stage of spending money I wish I had. Earlier in the week I investigated managed funds, then it was the stock market and self-trading online, and today was back to the property kick. (And of course student loan options.)
The preparation might not hurt, but I'm still at least a year away from being in the black (SL not included). Since my target for the year was been blown to smithereens by events over the past couple of months anyway I've decided this month is the time to get into KiwiSaver so as to get the maximum tax credit out of next year. Looking at the provider options there are both many, and at the same time very few that fit my requirements. Once you cross off the banks, the big internationals, the insurance companies, anyone who has a deal with a TV station, anyone whose main clients are sector specific and anyone who has a dodgy website there isn't a lot left.
[gets distracted by another close examination of options and then Almost the Truth]
Hmm, think I might have made a decision but will email the accountant tomorrow to see if he has any advice.
