LEISURE AND LIFESTYLE with Joanna Kristoffersen
BUYING YOUR FIRST PERSONAL WATERCRAFT Buying your first jet ski can be a daunting experience due to the large variety of brands, models and accessories to choose from. However, once you have set your budget, the team at iJetski will take the stress away from your major lifestyle investment. Prior to choosing your jet ski, consider who you will be taking on your adventures, and what you will be doing. Will you be wave jumping, fishing or long-haul adventure riding? The options really depend on what you want to do on the water! Once you have the experience, you may want to tow inflatable tubes or wakeboards behind your PWC. Certain models have these accessories ready to go and are designed for this particular purpose. Whether you want to get your heart racing with adrenaline, spend time with the family, go fishing or seek some island adventures, the team at iJetski will be able to steer you in the right direction. With years of experience riding and servicing jet skis, we can answer any questions you might have. ca

With the RBA cutting official rates and the banks fighting for business, there’s never been a better time to get picky about your home loan.
Looking for a group outing where you can make a difference to your own life whilst giving refuge cats another chance for happiness?
Ask yourself these questions: Are you unsure of what your interest rate is? Does your interest rate start with a 4 or more? Has it been two or more years since your last loan review? Would you like to consolidate, renovate or relocate? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these, it might be time to spring clean your home loan and review your finances. Switching and refinancing also require careful consideration to ensure the benefits outweigh any costs. If you wish to avoid the stress of trying to refinance yourself, there are experts available to help. Avoid the stressful phone calls and endless hours of researching and let a qualified mortgage broker do all the hard work for you and ensure your loan is in the right home. It could shave years off your loan, or reduce your repayments, with just a simple phone call or email. ca
