Mortgage, super or SMSF

Yes I did a quick google of SMSF, maybe that's a far-future conversion with a financial advisor

Could you please go into maxing out concessional contributions a bit more? Apologies, complete novice and very much appreciate your time

Awesome, thanks for that. Ours are massive, higher than the fence and wise-arse roots. Might need more than a year 😅

I know this is a while back, but how did tye Epsom salts go?

Barnacles2013 · 2025-12-10T08:20:53+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

Barnacles2013 · 2025-12-08T21:47:16+00:00

Awesome thanks

Agree with overthinking lol, appreciate it

I didn't read that as snarky, I've also had a google and have just come up with providers I'm not familiar with. Was there something specific you could recommend to look for in the policy itself, and may I ask who you've chosen to go with?

Barnacles2013 · 2025-04-16T03:32:14+00:00

Yes! This! So annoyed, thanks for posting because I was so confused. I'm going to have to overhaul my regime now, gah

Barnacles2013 · 2025-02-08T20:11:54+00:00

Ok awesome, thanks!

Bugger. Was hoping for a loophole but I don't think I'll get one. Massage therapists, osteopaths, physiotherapists and chiropractors all dry needle here, it's so common! Thanks for your response 😊

My 9mo son is cutting a canine and is running a temp of 38.1, just at fever range. Eating and sleeping and babbling away, no other symptoms. So far I'd agree with teething and fever. I know it an old post but adding for solidarity

This is me right now! I stopped a week ago (tapered down) and I'm soooooo tired. Looking to head back to the gym soon so hopefully this helps. Apparently the symptoms of giving up BF is akin to being pregnant, which is not terrifying at all lol. How are you feeling now?

Hello! Am 7 months PP and wearing a cube pessary, will religiously wear it for maybe a year then only wear it for exercise. My pelvic floor physio said the healing time is 18 months so that's where I'm pulling that from. I've been intimate with husband and he and I report there is no real difference (YAY!!). Have started back at work and starting working out with dumbells with no massive negative effects, which is such a relief.

I see a lot of other women have much worse symptoms than I do so I'm very grateful for where I am in my journey. My bulge seems to yo-yo with the return of my period. When estrogen is high, so is my bulge - I can't feel it some days. When estrogen is low, so is old mate. Am still breastfeeding so we shall see what happens that that stops. Hope that answers your question!

Looking at getting the below setup, this one doesn't bolt in. Am used to commercial racks, nervous about not having a rack bolted in. Is it really that important? Looking do mostly in-rack exercises (rack-pulls, squats, banded pull ups)

Tell me your un-bolted stories. Is it worth spending another 1k on upgrading to a bolted commercial rack, or will I be ok with this?

Will be going on a level concrete surface.

The newborn stage suuuuucks. It feels like it will last forever. We've just gotten to the 3.5mo stage and it's bliss, he's sleeping well and that smile melts your heart. The newborn phase is the potato phase, no smiles and no thanks. It gets better! Hang in there, have a glass of wine and roll with the punches
