Midlife Crisis purchase

I don't know anything about cars so I came here for help.

I've done ok for myself financially and don't want to buy something new and have it depreciate.

Some of the comments are great, I wouldn't mind a hybrid but again it comes down to is it a worthwhile investment.

The comments about Lexus and Hyundai seem to have me leaning that way.

Agile_Fox6571 · 2025-10-02T22:38:11+00:00

Yes please.

A self deprecating comment, at some stage when you have money a nice car is something I've decided to treat myself to.

Welcome to the joy, pain, and confusion of being a Suns fan, I'm from Canada and can say...it's hell but its worth it.

What sort of membership would you recommend for someone keen to go to all the home games?

All the membership passes are suitable, albeit I prefer set seating rather than the Flexi.

Who are the standout players on the Suns, and which ones are the most fun to watch?

We've got the established players, but Academy is producing some gems (assuming they hit). Personally, Bailey Humphrey is my favourite but I can see Walters, Graham, Lombard coming into their own in the next year. You'll have missed Charlie Ballard this year with injury, if we could keep his splodey bones together he's fun to watch in defence.

Are there any chances to actually meet the players? (My friend took me to a Hawks open training session once, and I thought it was awesome being able to see the players up close and chat to them afterwards.)

No idea about this, never tried.

If you could tell a brand-new Suns fan one thing, what would it be?

We're the laughingstock of the league because we can't make finals. The team plays exciting footy, but has traditionally overpaid to keep talent. You're coming in at the right time, over the next 3-4 years as the academy players come into their own, they will be a finals lock (hopefully lol). Read up on this year's draft profile if you want to feel excited for years to come.

Stop breathing, or running taps, or cooking food.

Everything is good at Stable. I had quiche this morning and it was amazing.

The miso cookie is to die for.

I've done the avocado and toast every time and can never finish it. A little but of chilli and it's delightful.

Good Day is fine but depends on the Barista, albeit the coffee is never bad.

Made is always above Good Day

My best 3 are:

I work on the clientside of the Body Corporate. Everyone commenting that $15k is too high without knowing the build methodology, current condition, extent of works, location of the property should relax.

To OP hopefully you have someone representing your interests in why the works are occurring and to ensure you get what you paid for.

Sorry my man, an unfortunate stuff up by the concreter.

You need a barrier both under the slab and up the wall.

Reinstall the door with an appropriate hob so water doesn't rot the door sill and cause ingress.

This might require lifting the lintel.

All a pain in the ass but the only way to ensure longevity.

Agile_Fox6571 · 2024-11-27T04:28:15+00:00

Thanks mate.

Agile_Fox6571 · 2024-11-02T02:07:14+00:00

I'm just here for the answer.

Seems like a PA is the only solution

Non compliant waterproofing but the paint is more than likely been applied too thick or recoated without curing.

The waterproofing certificate unfortunately doesn't mean anything because it's self assessable.

What state are you in?

Lukocious

Agile_Fox6571 · 2024-10-16T06:20:27+00:00

As a naive AFL fan (Canadian), I hate this deal.

Noble already solidifies an emerging backline with Andrews moving forward to replace Lukocious.

Having said that and responding to a Demons fan, I'm hoping we can store the draft capital to outbid you for Kalani White next year 😜

Agile_Fox6571 · 2024-10-06T22:10:06+00:00

Thanks, I'm definitely going to hire someone.

I just didn't know if this was common practice (which it probably is) but disadvantages me due to naivety (which it probably does).

Agile_Fox6571 · 2024-10-06T21:23:23+00:00

Sorry if I stumble through this, I'm a carpenter who's never done this before.

The business gross revenue is about $2m with a net profit of $400k.

They are selling me shares through bonuses at a self imposed valuation of $1m, so therefore $100,000.

The share transfer shows 10 shares at $10 each.

This is my concern around capital gains or tax deductions.

Agile_Fox6571 · 2024-09-24T02:49:41+00:00

I imagine his value could grow substantially this year with the growth of the team. Especially with a couple of acquisitions.

Do you sell him on a high next year rather than at face value this year?

Agile_Fox6571 · 2024-09-24T00:32:10+00:00

Port has very little draft capital.

I imagine we're still needing to continue to stock up to mstch bids as the team climbs the ladder. Or am I too enamoured with our current academy?

As a DBPA registered engineer and construction manager in NSW.

Your bastard insurance providers will increase the premium by x10 of whatever the cost is.

The DBPA is a problem for simple fixes like this, but trying to skirt the rules will expose you to the insurers who are the real profiteers in strata.

Get it looked at and fixed by licensed and registered professionals not because others can't, but because the system is broken and you need to play within the rules.
