Super Rules, OK?
Do you rule your superannuation or does it rule you?It's easy to fall for some myths about your super unless you do some clear thinking about who is in charge.
Virtually all Australian employees now have a superannuation account, many have several, even more than they know about.
We all hope to use this money to fund our retirement, but unless you look after your super then you are in danger of losing some of your money along the way.Myth number 1. Someone else can look after my super.
Only partly right.
It is possible go through your working life letting your super run on autopilot, but you may be in for an unpleasant surprise if you don't keep an eye on your super.
Make sure your employer is paying the correct amount, and that if your employer goes broke your super is still available.If you change jobs you need to decide if you wish to ?roll over' the money into another fund.
This is especially important if you change jobs frequently.
You can find that you have relatively small amounts scattered over several funds, and in each you will be paying a management fee before you earn any distribution or interest.
In the long term inflation will eat away at the value of your principle, even though the dollar amount stays the same.
Many super companies provide a free service to consolidate small accounts for you.
Use them.Myth number 2. It's not my money until I retire.
Dead wrong.
It's your money, just like the rest of the money in your pay packet.
Super funds are providing a service of managing your money until you can legally access it when you retire.
You have control of it.
After July 2005 you will have even more say about your money.
If you are not happy with the service you should tell the service provider.
If they can't fix your problem, then you can sack them and put your money elsewhere.Myth number 3.
I don't need to worry about it until I am at least fifty-something.
Not really.
Australians are enjoying longer lives and better health.
You will need more money if you want to have more options in retirement.
You will probably need to top up your super to achieve financial independence in your golden years.
The sooner you start the better.The Australian Government is generously giving away our money to help lower and middle income earners top up their super.
It's called the superannuation co-contribution scheme.
If you, or your spouse, are eligible you should make sure you get your share.Fact number 1.Our superannuation is our money.
To look after your super you need to learn about your rights and options.
It's a long term task.
You need to get information and advice. Don't rush, but start soon..

How a broken leg became the beginning of a new lifestyle
Copyright 2006 Ingela Berger
A man I know had an accident one autumn as he was working in the woods. The leaves had fallen to the ground and the rain had fallen on the leaves. Wet leaves are very slippery, and this man knew that, but on a slope he lost control, fell and broke his right leg.
He was lucky to have company, and soon he was in an ambulance on his way to the hospital. He was not so lucky to know that the leg was broken in several places and the operation that followed was somewhat complicated and left him with rather a large number of screws in his bone.
He received a small amount of money from his insurance company, but it was just enough to cover the expenses for his hospital care, his torn clothes and boots.
A year later he still had some ugly scars, the skin on the leg was partly numb, and he found it a little hard to walk. His right leg pointed slightly outward, it had an angle that was just a bit too wide and made him...

Mainstream media has become a single-minded authority on how we should perceive life. Theirs is a negative perspective. Could there be a new way of hearing the stories we feel are relevant in our lives?
If you're anything like me you are really getting tired of the mainstream media's one-voice-to-many analysis of life on Earth. First of all, it's just too negative! I read a survey recently that stated that fourteen out of fifteen newspaper and TV News stories had negative fear-based stories. I don't know about you, but if I look at my everyday life, the amount of good and bad I experience seems to be much more balanced. Why does the ?big' media think we all love hearing the dark side of things so much?If you look at what news stories truly are in historical terms, it is a person sitting around the tribal campfire at night telling a tale to inform the people both in wisdom and knowledge. In any tribe there were many storytellers, so different perspectives were always available to the masses.
Well, if you think today's media sources are too monopolized in their power of authority over the stories we are told, there's a new option for humanity. The answers and views we are seeking...

Real-Life Vampire Lawsuit and Werewolf Trial Inspiration for UofA Grad?s New Mystery Novel.
Jacksonville, FL (ContentDesk) April 20, 2004 ?- "After graduating from the UofA I became a paralegal. My sister was always giving me trinkets for my office and one day she found one of those themed desk calendars where each day there's a new interesting fact. This calendar focused on outrageous lawsuits from around the world. Different customs lend themselves to some very interesting legal problems, but when I read the April 8th account of the Romanian widow who had fought to get her husband buried in one grave, the story caught fire in my imagination."As much as the plot parallels certain elements of the true story, Mroch exercised her artistic liberties also. For instance, the setting is in France instead of Romania; the executed man was engaged instead of married, was a baker instead of a cobbler, and was suspected of being a werewolf instead of a vampire.
Also, no courts are involved in the exhumation process."Everybody has a vampire book, you know?" says Mroch. "Originally...

Rising Medical Cost ? Solution is Online Pharmacy
Let us discuss about the present medical system in USA. Being ill, one must see a doctor for consultation after paying some fees. Then he will rush to the Medicine shops for medicine, which is the remedial treatment of his disease. If the disease is complicated that warrants stay at hospital and /or operation, he will be admitted to a hospital and can go home after recovery only after paying the bills of the hospital. In every case the bill is fat and some times go beyond the reach of one's capacity.
People like me have studied and raised voice against such system.
Cost of medical treatment is enormous in America, thanks to the systems developed here. There is an unholy nexus between the Insurance companies, doctors and medical Service providers, which has sky rocketed the medical treatment cost. The situation is so much grave that we have once read that 25% of Americans have no health insurance coverage.
Because maintaining the insurance is also...
