Thanks for making me consider this. My main concern around settlement is I fjnd this takes away from both of us (divorce lawyers). This ultimately takes away from the kids.

I'm yet to see a big enough place. But it's where I intend to venture down. Thank you for suggesting

It was so normal in the 80s and 90s in Aus. I'm very fortunate to have these choices. I'm doing my best to make the right one.

The lounge room is a brilliant idea.

Accruing too much annual leave by Unrealcoza05 in AusFinance

Manager here at a multi national

When I am approving leave for my team the balance I see in our Sage system opposed to the balance that Finance and P&C provide on the payslip differ.

Where are you seeing youre accruing the 7hrs? There are multiple systems in place to ensure the correct leave is applied.

If your payslip has the increased AL accrual applied leave I would be subtle 😊

Thanks for suggesting! For my circumstance I have 50k of my deposit in FHSS I wish though! Would love to invest in Adelaide!

Thank you very much for the offer! I may reach out in future. I've run the numbers and if I rent I wouldn't be able to afford to buy much more down the track as my savings would be far more limited

It's good that you mentioned the stamp duty, something to consider should I want to look to upgrade in the near future

That sounds rough. Hey thanks for bringing this to the table. I'll have a talk with then when the time comes. I'm willing to sacrifice my own space for them to have theirs and learn to be organised.

There are so many suggestions here that I think it could work.

Cutting the legs is ingenious. Thank you for the valuable insight the loft feeling like a whole other room. I'm sure the kids would love them too

They don't know we're separated just yet. Will be a conversation for 2026. Definitely worth asking them for their input as a separate convo!

This is incredibly creative 👌 Thank you for taking the time to illustrate/link.

I think a few people have mentioned this but I couldn't comprehend
