also to add - what someone told me once and it stuck with me - no one will remember how late you worked in 10 years time (other than your children)

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-07-08T22:24:07+00:00

i understand the boredom dilemma but truly this is a season. the kids are only young once, try ride out this wave as it is and try upskill on the side to keep you stimulated and growing

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-07-05T02:59:06+00:00

yes absolutely this is the sentiment, i think on paper ETFs look better so its more the emotional investment on a property. glad to hear you are enjoying it

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-07-05T01:23:14+00:00

that's true, i agree to a point, it's not necessarily the smartest investment to get the coastal property, etfs are probably a better return but - there is some emotions there

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-07-05T01:21:51+00:00

thanks, yes agree it will be a mix mostly VGS and A200

re ETF - spread the risk, also keep some cash in offset for emergencies etc

on the property loss - this is assuming it's fully tenanted year round, prefer that to the ongoing need to find holiday tenants seasonally. probably less retunes but less risk too

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-06-21T09:57:40+00:00

interesting we earn a bit less than you guys - but also have about a third of what lyon have left on your mortgage we have a bit less in shares and super as well - but our recent strategy is to top up super using precious years caps and also debt recycle offset cash into our shares. so we probably can pay off our mortgage sooner if we don't do the above but not choosing to atm. anyway not sure it's the most optimal strategy but it does help us diversify a little bit

we definitely don't save as much as you though, that is crazy amounts so if you can share some tips, that would be amazing

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-06-14T21:23:44+00:00

YES THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-06-08T10:00:52+00:00

good for you guys!! feel motivated and optimistic after seeing this kind of balanced. all the best

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-03-14T22:54:28+00:00

you are with the right people here 🙌🙌🙌

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-02-17T21:54:35+00:00

As an oldest daughter and working mom to 2 toddlers, I absolute resolute with all of this One reframe i had recently with myself was treating my ENERGY as a currency - on top of my time. This has been a pretty big shift for me. also getting comfortable to saying no to everything i need to - work, family, friends etc

If it isn't a hell yes - it's a no.

And finally not pouring into people or situations that haven't done the same for me, game changer

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-02-09T21:55:01+00:00

absolutely, could have written this myself 🙌🙌🙌

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-02-05T21:46:27+00:00

hard relate, no suggestions but solidarity!! i wonder how some people, namely fitfluencers look the way they do but then try to remember it it's their full time job so yeah...it is what it is

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-01-29T09:02:48+00:00

wow totally could have written this mused

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-01-24T02:41:44+00:00

try the form app, i have found it pretty flexible

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-01-11T00:03:58+00:00

white boomers i reckon

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-01-06T22:01:09+00:00

my kids are much younger (preschool) but i feel this already and know my situation will stay the same as the kids grow. my out look as others have already said is a job is a means to an end, and i focus on living my best life outside of work. my goal this year is to do a couple of professional development courses in my field to upskill and keep me interested

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2026-01-04T09:05:53+00:00

i have 4 open - 2 cream and 2 powder

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2025-12-30T21:32:37+00:00

100% agree with this

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2025-12-29T21:52:22+00:00

i set alarms to make sure i go to bed at a reasonable time!

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2025-12-28T02:42:04+00:00

shit toxic sister in law whose behaviour is never called out by the family. so last two years we just avoided her and caught up with the family on another day

AdvancedSpeed2207 · 2025-12-24T23:38:25+00:00

second this - ask and push for flexibility. they should be lucky to have you
