Paying HECS upfront
excal:
If you have the money, then pay upfront.
Else, do the last one.
(as an aside, I've just realised that if you are getting a scholarship stipend - it's actually more value if you took $1000 and put it in super as a post-tax contribution. It's an immediate 150% return [govt. super co-contribution] + continual (high) interest on that - not to mention the nifty tax benefits when you do retire!)
randomnezz:
also i forgot to mention i get a 2k scholarship p/a :P but i guess i could just put it in as voluntary payment.. (if i keep it i think i would spend it all on shopping sprees...ekk) or i can get a laptop...
the superanuation thing also sounds good although i feel that a bit too young, (and jobless) to think about retire...hehe
Ninox:
how would we go about doing that excal?
gfb:
I chose the partial upfront payment. Where you pay a bit of it now, and pay the rest later.
nak:
thats if you do happen to get a job straight after graduating. unless your occupation has a shortage.
