Hello Nick, Danny and I listened to your Webinar last Wednesday night and it was great, very informative. We didn’t fill out the form because we have already started the process and have spoken to Martin Bell and hopefully we will be on the right road soon. Keep up the great work.

The feedback from Wednesday night’s webinar has been extremely positive with those who registered saying they enjoyed the presentation and gained a lot from it. However, over the past few days I have been speaking with a number of people who haven’t registered because they have “No Idea Of What A Webinar Is Or How It Works”.
Given the success of Wednesday night’s session, I thought I would take the time to explain ‘webinar’.

Q: How would you respond to a friend who asked if you thought the mrd webinar would be worthwhile for them to listen in on and why?”
A: Thank you very much for the webinar. Thoroughly informative, enjoyable and easy to understand. Miranda and I found it easy to follow and I know I like to listen and take in information as compared to reading it. I think it gives a good grounding on the base of what you are promoting and how it all works. The questions are a fantastic idea and I think this would be the area that would make people decide if they were ready or not. I also think the information you provide on paper is necessary. At the time when we bought, we found the one on one telephone conversations with all of you fantastic. Andrew & Miranda
A: I am not sure though that it is a good introduction to MRD in the sense that its not the same as a face to face session if someone does not yet know MRD.
A: Martin’s bit was great too and I think a closer walk through ROYE and how you can make it work once retired would be great (i.e. paint a scenario in 2015, 2016, 2017 …etc) in the future. Read more…

South-east Queensland and south-west Western Australia are Australia’s most popular places to move to according to Australian Social Trends, the quarterly snapshot of society from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
Relocation across the nation
Brisbane was the only capital city to experience substantial growth from internal migration in the five years to 2006, with a net increase of 40,000 people from elsewhere in Australia.
Other regions of South-East Queensland also had significant growth from internal migration including Gold Coast-Tweed which netted 35,000 people, the Sunshine Coast (17,000) and Hervey Bay (7,300).
Further north in Queensland, Cairns, Townsville and Mackay also featured among the top ten fastest growing regions with relatively strong internal migration. Mandurah and Bunbury in WA (both south of Perth) also grew very quickly from internal migration in the five years to 2006.

mrd is excited to announce the release of our greatly enhanced software program, Retire on Your Equity, (‘ROYE’). ROYE provides “Answers To The Questions On Every Investor’s Mind”.
ROYE was developed in-house over two years ago. However, in response to the changing global credit environment, our team began revising the program. Now ROYE delivers so much more than was previously possible.

SUBJECT: Economics 101
It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea .. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.
He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to choose one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower.
The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town’s travel agent to pay for last year’s trip away.
The travel agent runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she had booked for her clients.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything. Read more…

FORECAST population growth of 66 per cent by 2035 will put pressure on Gold Coast jobs, infrastructure funding and affordable central housing, according to one property analyst.
Colleen Coyne has researched 10 economic sub-regions of the city and highlighted the suburbs best positioned to cope with the influx of new residents, tipped at around 350,000 by 2031.
Coyne says maintaining job creation at the same rate experienced over the past decade (4 per cent to 4.5 per cent per annum) would be difficult.
“While the global financial crisis will play a factor, the city’s ageing workforce will be an on-going issue,” she says.
“A national slow down in manufacturing and construction is also impacting the Gold Coast, as is a slowing in productivity growth, which will have a long-term impact on the city’s ability to continue creating new jobs.”
The research points to a marked loss of jobs from the Surfers Paradise-Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads subregions over the five years to 2006.
“We are seeing these workers, and in particular casual and part-time employees, shifting to the outer suburbs because of lower housing costs and the desire to work near home,” says Coyne.
“The ageing of the population along the coastal strip is also a factor in loss of resident employees, as older workers retire.”
Coyne says that while the Gold Coast
