[N179]New Financial World Order

by Greg Ellis, Gre

In this age, mainstream consumers place a very high priority on the things that are easily, quickly and readily available as they are desired. The human mindset can often be exceedingly irregular, with many taking the notion that ‘if it's not available as soon as possible, I don't want it'. With the various technological advancements that have occurred to date, many view this as a fair and honest claim. Past technological advancements are now available to almost everyone; therefore speed and accessibility are required and expected from almost every service or good.

This notion is evident in almost every aspect of our society today. This common truth is particularly factual within the convenience food market. Services within this sector generate a substantial amount of their profits because their business models are based on providing products with speed. For example, dial up internet access is now viewed as a dated and almost outmoded resource. Because society continually seeks faster and faster internet access, broadband is now seen as a vital and dominant form of connection necessary. Fast service, fast answers, fast technology, fast communication and fast transport are all desired in today's world. The aspiration for things when and where we want them is no different to the needs of those in the payday advance industry.

To reflect society's needs and wants, some payday advance and finance companies have incorporated these notions into their business models. Cash advance processes have been made as fast as possible to ensure that society can meet their needs both instantaneously and conveniently. Online Australian payday cash advance providers are now considered the norm by many. Some online companies even provide their clients with quick cash within an hour of signing a digital contract.

Despite this availability, some may ask why society doesn't wait until their next payday.

Some situations occur within our lives that warrant a belief that they simply cannot be postponed. Throughout our lives, many detrimental and beneficial surprises will occur. Unexpected car repairs or emergency medical bills can occur at any time and a cash advance can be an ideal cash flow fix. Cash advances are not only an idyllic fit for various bills and expenses, but they can also be used within various positive conditions. Luxury items, a short holiday or even a night out with your loved ones can all necessitate a cash advance.

Some may have had their eye on a certain good for the last couple of months but they just don't have the cash at present. They would have to wait another two weeks if you decide to save for the item and it may even be on sale at the moment. Some may view that the value of having the good now far out ways the cost of the interest on a payday advance. They may also choose to use a payday advance instead of using a credit card because they know they will pay the finance back on their next pay with a cash advance.

In the end, it is the individual that needs to carefully think through the pro's and con's of each scenario. This involves careful consideration of their financial position and whether they can afford to repay any interest accumulated if the good was purchased now. In some cases, it may be more beneficial for an individual to wait until they have saved enough money to fulfill their desires.

YourMonaco.com , who produce an independent travel guide for Monaco and Monte Carlo, say that those who are considering moving to Monaco because of her zero income tax policy have nothing to worry about.

'This is much more about Prince Albert pushing ahead with his agenda on the environment and world affairs than it is Monaco's tax policy', they claim.

Prince Albert became ruler of Monaco just over a year ago, after the passing of his father Prince Rainier, who transformed the Principality into the world's best known tax haven in the fifty years he was in charge.

'Prince Albert is much more interested in world affairs as he knows the future of Monaco as a tax haven is safe', the guid adds. 'The last year has seen him going to the North Pole to try to show other world leaders that the environment is one of the top issues they should be addressing, and the publishing of Monaco's GDP and Gross National Income statistics will allow him to have Monaco play a full and active role at the United Nations. For example Monaco will know how much they should be contributing to the United Nations Millennium for Development project, and other overseas projects'.

Recognising that collecting financial information could put off wealthy individuals moving to Monaco, the government has told those businessmen taking part that all information will be kept confidential, and will not be used for fiscal purposes.

Monaco and The EU

Political analysts might see the beginning of information gathering in Monaco as the start of a process to join the EU.

'This is highly unlikely,' contend YourMonaco, 'There are influential figures in the EU who have been pushing for tax harmonisation across EU countries for some time now, and while it is unlikely to happen as Britian would veto any move towards this, it would kill the goose that lays the golden egg for Monaco, and far from leading Monaco to the world stage on important issues like the environment and the Third World, it would lead Monaco to being little more than a European backwater with the Grand Prix and casino as her main attractions'.

Due to her tax status property prices in Monaco are among the highest in the world.

Typical of Monaco real estate prices are a one bedroom apartment without views of the Mediterranean at 880,000 Euros - after closing costs nearer to a million - 1,950,000 Euros for a two bedroom apartment, and expect to pay between three and four million Euros for a good three bedroom apartment with sea views and parking space.

Buyers from the UK have increased significantly in the last couple of years, and demand from them has helped push property price inflation to close to ten per cent a year.

For the future, YourMonaco predict that prices will continue to rise for the short and medium term, but are keen to state that real estate, like any other commodity, can dip in value on occasion as well as rise.

Aside from the obvious tax advantages Monaco residents enjoy, the Monaco Grand Prix in May draws ten of thousands of tourists to the Principality at the end of May on an annual basis, while the Monaco Yacht Show in September is an increasingly popular event.
