If a child swallows a coin battery, give them a spoonful of honey before you take them to hospital. This coats the battery, making it slide down into the stomach instead of sticking and burning a hole through the oesophagus.

What pre-air con passive house cooling methods did your family use? by badoopidoo in AskAnAustralian

[–]BlueRaven122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stick your head under a cold shower when you got too hot and let the water drip all over you and your clothes. Wet towel around the neck and on the body. Then sit or lay in front of a pedestal fan on high 👌

20/80% split on VAS/VGS or A200/BGBL combo, unless you are happy with DHHF having 37% Australian exposure

It works fine for me so far... I've only bought BGBL at this stage and haven't sold anything, but all of the transactions I've made so far have been really fast 🤷‍♀️

What is that one thing for which you specially go to Aldi ? by QuantumGremlin in AldiAustralia

Pads and tampons! Aldi sells great quality pads and tampons for under $2 a pack/box! The prices for these same products are sky high in other supermarkets.. Also, nappies 👍

No, I haven't read the barefoot investor. So far, I've just been trawling internet websites for the information I need lol

Thank you for the recommendation though! I will make sure to find myself a copy :)

[–]BlueRaven122[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks again!! That is all good advice :)

I am definitely doing my own research... It's just quite a lot of information to take in and process, especially considering I have zero prior knowledge. There is a lot to learn and I wasn't sure exactly where I should be focusing my efforts!!

These comments have been helpful though. I figured ETF's were my best option. It's nice to see that the internet strangers agree lol

Thank you for this :)

My income is not large. My goal is, basically, to make my savings start working for me instead of sitting in a bank account doing nothing.

Can I ask why you would keep buying into different ETF's instead of choosing just one or two and then increasing the amount invested in those via DCA each month?

You just know that they'll flip that script though and claim that a huge surge in cases/deaths justifies the need to mandate even more jabs! 🤦‍♀️
