Thanks for your input. The fact that I spent ten days on vacation at a resort in Hawaii this summer just using some cash I had lying around suggests that you may be wrong about me.
How did you get that much money?

Hello,

What types of professional services offer assistance in navigating transactions such as vehicle/auto purchases, and negotiating the process of renting an apartment?

By any chance, would such services go "along the lines" of notaries offering some types of fiduciary services? If not, what specific types of professional services are applicable?

To enlist trusted, impartial "third parties" in those complex transactions that are periodically a part of everyday life can go "a long way" in boosting the progress of people concerned with Aspergers!

Thank-you

What is a good way of hiding my money from being taxed/on the system, while keeping it liquid and easy to transport.

I had tens of thousands recently, but this prevented me from getting income support, so blew through most of it. Now I'm back to square one.

I've thought about gold (heavy not very liquid) prone to value fluctuation.
Diamonds - difficult to buy cheaply. Difficult to liquify.
Ancient artifacts (small jewelery).

That is not possible.

Wait, are you on Newstart Allowance?

You can double that amount.

Firstly, apply for Mobility Allowance (it doesn't matter whether or not you own a car).

Secondly, if you live on your own, apply for rent assistance.

Thirdly, try to get the energy allowance.

When I was on the disability pension I was getting $1,070 per fortnight.

^ I'm already getting all of those allowances.
Except for rent assistance.
I own my own home.

In that I'm surprised you're only $517 per fortnight.

When I was on it even my baseline was about $700 per fortnight, before they added additional payments.

the OP suggested I find something i'm good at and monetize it. that is fine advice for somebody who is good at and for something, and has inborn entrepreneurial social talents. how does one get THOSE things? :scratch:
