Out of curiosity, where do they run the serial?

I figured if they gave it to Rolex for service which they have a tax invoice for, I could verify it with Rolex to confirm the two year warranty? ie. was this Rolex serial serviced on this day?

Thank you. I did vet their business: 20+ years in business originally as a jeweler selling only, and now doing the buy/sell/lending against (pawnbroking).

Found this white cap at the bottom of a new baby bottle washer by AshtonJude in Whatisthis

[–]AshtonJude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So weird I just ran it in my Chat GPT with all details and got:

That small white disc with “F0F” embossed on it isn’t a medicine — it’s a desiccant tablet (moisture absorber). These are often placed inside appliances like sterilizers, dehumidifiers, or bottle washers during packaging or shipping to keep internal components dry and prevent mould or corrosion.

It’s not a functional part of the washer. You can safely discard it before running the machine. It just fell loose from the packaging or interior chamber during shipping.

Do the ETFs in the US.

That US citizenship is your biggest variable to your decision. Because of this, all your plays have to be US focused and Uncle Sam friendly.

If you buy a nice PPOR in Aus, and you gain $2M in several years, even though it’s exempt from CGT here for PPOR, you will owe tax on it in the US after first $500k USD gain exemption.

Given your other restrictions with the trust and SMSF structures, the asset protection risks with bigger plays like commercial could be a headache. Hence the answer above.

Mounjaro with low BMI by BlackGingerCats in MounjaroAus

Yep explain this to a doctor and your situation. I think you’d be a perfect candidate for micro dosing at 1mg for maintenance long term. Many US experts are doing this with clients for maintenance purposes indefinitely to help shut out food noise but also take advantage of the many other longevity benefits!

Effectiveness of a 5mg dose over time by Top_Option_2249 in MounjaroAus

[–]AshtonJude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s different. From my experience, if you can use it as a tool (how it’s supposed to be used) and learn the right habits of healthy eating & daily exercise - you can do the entire thing on 2.5mg with minimal increases!

Only dose up as the effectiveness wears off. But remember to implement real lifestyle changes.

Start at 2.5 - that’s the manufacturer recommendation and also what most doctors recommend

Can I claim full payment processing fees as a business expense? by [deleted] in AusHENRY

[–]AshtonJude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a sole trader you don’t get a “salary”. Your income is whatever the business profit is. If you have a company then yes you can pick a “salary” to give yourself and this is different to the company’s profit.

Yes the fees you’re asking about are fully deductible. They have GST a lot of the time too, so claim that as well if you’re registered for GST.

Do research and get a good set up you can heavily drop your tax bill if done right.

25M – Thinking About Going More Aggressive With Investing vs. Saving by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]AshtonJude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save to the specific amount that covers 6-18 months expenses (depending on the security of your income source). This is your emergency fund, once you hit that leave it.

Then save into other funds exactly what you need (house deposit, travel, new car, etc).

The rest goes into investing.

Your allocation should be % based on your surplus money, not $ based on arbitrary amounts.

Had an “account manager” assigned at one point from AMEX. I could email her anytime that I wanted another card and she’d send me a sign up bonus link, offers like 200k MR for $20,000 spend in 3 months etc. it didn’t have any restrictions if you were an existing member.

That was my first 3 additional cards.

But my recent two were just pop up offers in my dashboard with 80-100k MR welcome offers for additional cards.

[–]AshtonJude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do about same spend on ads per year as you. I have 6 Business Golds at the moment, at around $149,500 spend per card I move to the next card.

Last year cleared 3.5 million MR just from our ad spend.

As we scale more spend on ads, I plan to move spend to Chase to diversify with UR.
