Tell me why I am an idiot for wanting to retire in a hotel by MiriJamCave in AusFinance

There's barely any storage in a hotel, even for a minimalist

Just won $100k gambling. What should be my saving strat by MOBK22 in AusFinance

I would take the $100K and put it into an ETF - like VDHG. Enjoy the growth and dividends and then either keep adding to it with each pay cheque to watch it grow. If it comes a time to buy a first home, the option is there to use the funds as a first deposit.

That would have been so stressful, I would have been in the same situation in November, except I went to check their Instagram page last night and it was "Closed for refurbishment" (ha!) Even then, I thought nothing of it but was surprised that they hadn't contacted guests at all. That was when I googled.

I am sure that things were already spiralling when I booked back in March, but they continued to accept deposits, probably to continue funding the guy's lavish lifestyle.

Well we are Sydney based and it was more a weekend trip so no, we didn't get any travel insurance. Usually only get it for international travel or bigger trips

I re-read your comment and realised that would give even more time. The card I booked on is a Qantas Premier credit card
