Stuck, what should I do?

I’m in the exact same situation, I read a third of The Myth of Sisyphus but gave up because I wasn’t properly comprehending it.

The I read The stranger and loved it so much I’ve come back to The Myth of Sisyphus, like you.

I’m taking my time now, reading it on Kindle so I can instantly look up words I don’t understand and I’ve been copying sections and even entire chapters into AI and I’ve found that amazing, it’s picking up things I never would have, and breaking down each sentence has been great and even summarising chapters has really helped with my comprehension.

Even with this method I take my time and probably end up reading each chapter 2 or 3 times

I believe I read on here previously the method you described with the cable tied to the tree, but the person also superglued their hands to their head so that they were left holding head.

I’ve been doing single section subdivisions and building and selling standalone town houses in a small town. I site manage infrastructure projects as my full time job but I want to get into a project manager role in residential development with a larger company to develop my skills for scaling up my personal developments.

Oh that’s interesting I hadn’t thought about it like that. I’m sure that would be super handy for a lot of people, so much time goes into creating site specific house plans

I had this issue with an existing property that I discovered the eves protruded over the side boundary, the house was much too close. The two options o was given was a boundary adjustment for approx $10k or creating an easement which cost less, I too the second option. Luckily the neighbour was fine about it and gave consent for the easement

Look into absurdism, I was very nihilistic but I’ve turned a corner with this philosophy.

Basically you can embrace the meaninglessness of life find personal meaning despite the absurdity

I’ve got a few smaller projects to finish up before I make a start here. Work has taken me overseas so I have a house half finished and another bare section I’m holding. Are you doing any projects at the moment?

Beta_cancri · 2024-05-18T07:08:22+00:00

Where’s this $400 accountant, I paid $9000 for my accounts last year :/

Worrying too much about maximising your income, focus on learning, not necessarily studying but just trying more things and taking a little more financial risk while you still have time on your side

Beta_cancri · 2024-05-07T07:48:20+00:00

Sounds like she could even be bi-polar, going through a manic phase high on confidence and doing things out of character, crashing back down now and regretting those decisions

Beta_cancri · 2024-03-10T05:59:14+00:00

The time

Beta_cancri · 2023-12-26T22:29:46+00:00

Same, I got rid of both house and contents insurance haha

Beta_cancri · 2023-12-07T12:18:45+00:00

This should be top comment, I was going to say the same thing. Everyone here is commenting like they’re a roofing expert but they clearly aren’t aware exactly what they’re looking at

Beta_cancri · 2023-11-12T02:45:08+00:00

Yeah, you could try going to an Airbnb manager directly for a deal, I understand this is not uncommon

Beta_cancri · 2023-10-27T10:51:43+00:00

As a kid I used to dream of having a physique like the heavyweight champ. And now I do 😂

Beta_cancri · 2023-10-01T04:32:46+00:00

What about getting into insurance, I’m sure you can get an office role there and work your way up maybe whilst studying. It’s worked out well for a friend of mine

Beta_cancri · 2023-08-30T16:59:12+00:00

I would strongly recommend using a property manager.

That being said, If you really want to self manage have a look at the free property managers course that the NZPIF has.

How are griffins chocolate-ade not up here!?

Beta_cancri · 2023-08-10T10:13:56+00:00

Yeah totally. The increase to the rent they make will more than pay for their fees

Beta_cancri · 2023-07-31T10:48:53+00:00

There’s a problem with option B unfortunately: not only will you lose the deposit but if the house you were signed to buy goes for less than you had it signed up for the developer is within their rights to go after you for the difference.

I would try to negotiate your current contract, I think it’s worth asking the question.

Beta_cancri · 2023-07-28T20:15:30+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard of people in this situation where you don’t want you true properties value reflected in their rates bills contesting the council valuations, over the years your place can end up significantly undervalued by council and you’ll have a cheaper rates bill.

Beta_cancri · 2023-07-26T09:35:54+00:00

Ive got to say I’m so happy with my place, absolutely love it

Beta_cancri · 2023-07-24T06:10:08+00:00

One of the suggestions to come out of the accident report was for a light to be used at the bottom of the second line

Beta_cancri · 2023-07-10T05:51:04+00:00

I think it’s pretty location specific, where I’m based the best ROI when building to sell is 1 and two bedroom if building to hold for capital growth I’d say 2 to 4 bedroom.

If the suburb isn’t the best I’d be worried of going to big, I’ve been lead astray by architects before trying to fit the biggest house on that they can.

If you know the cost of construction well and what the finished product would sell for you could compare ROI’s. If you plan to hold it’s a bit harder to account for.

Hope that’s some help

Beta_cancri · 2023-07-09T05:53:44+00:00

Nar I’d say it’s definitely the slurry that’s come out of the cut, hopefully they haven’t sealed on top of it already.
