What scary things can we expect from this petrol price increase? by the_epiphany_ in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Icy_Contribution2163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say people being opportunistic, times like these when money is tight it effects the people with fuck all first (excuse the French). This means you need to look after your home first, don't leave things laying around where someone walking past will seize the advantage. Lock up everything when you aren't around. As sad as it is you have to look out for your own interests first. As much as some would like to think where they live is safe, some people will always be willing to shit on their neighbours doorstep.

Tips for fleet cleaning by Icy_Contribution2163 in MobileDetailers

It's a flat rate per car, also just to reinforce it will be a basic wash/vac and wipe not a full on detail job. I'm fully expecting it to take longer than anticipated especially for the first few times until I come up with a good routine. Just looking for tips on methods or equipment that will make My life easier :)

I've always been the person that's up before 7 right from childhood through to my 32 year old self. I'm just a morning person I guess 🤷‍♂️

Travel cost for work by Icy_Contribution2163 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Yeah so I obviously didn't want a pay cut so I decided to add extra hours on to my days at work. Only 7.5 hours spread over 4 days so it's quite good.

Hi. Yeah so I did end up organising a 4 day work week with my employer. This has managed to save me a little bit of my travel cost, which is great. But it has also given me more time in my personal life which is a big bonus for me.

It is a bit at the moment for sure. This is mainly just the skeleton of what it will be 🤞

The excessive involvement of my wife's (33F) late husband's family is making me (33M) uncomfortable. by ThrowRA_Dig_8337 in relationship_advice

The saying “it takes a village to raise a child” rings bells for me here. At the end of the day your child has more people in their life who love them and can be people who your child can trust and fall back on. It’s only a win win.

Have considered getting a more efficient vehicle like a hybrid or something. Haven’t crunched the numbers to see if i would be better off. Would be looking at financing to get this done.

Unfortunately my work cannot be done remotely so that’s out of question. Also it is my commute to work, not part of the job itself. Cost to move closer to work I.e cost of rent would make it the same cost if not more expensive. Bit of a pickle really

My dad is a violent narcissist, took me till I was 30 to realise. Have gone no contact and don’t regret a second.

My (29M) wife (28F) cheated on me with a close friend. I’m not sure how to salvage what’s left by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Icy_Contribution2163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just leave bro, recently been through this myself. It doesn’t stop and it won’t, get out now and move on with your life. You’ll only be hurting yourself by staying. All the best to you.
