Man, you got me in stitches. So what do you call the oldies in mobility scooters? Mounted Division? Armoured Corps? Retired tradies as Sappers? Thankyou, I needed that giggle.

I've been PAYE all my working life. I would be a bit nervous approaching Centerlink with no record of paying tax. I hear the ATO has some difficulties with such a situation.

PAYE, does that mean your own business? If so as a sole trader or even a company you will be stung like a bee as I did for 13 years until my accountant found a way around it. By then the damage was already done and I threw away the business and my wife is happy as Larry.

I worked in the tax office for a few years and know a bit about what they look for so I am working on building a nest egg that even they would find difficult to assess. A lot of astro gear.

Things are looking up for me these days, with a few good jobs here and there it looks like I can now retire at 124 down from 128.
