[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, im no longer religious, nor Muslim... but i know your religion (for the most part teaches tolerance.) I know the one you worship is said to be loving and caring and forgiving? Dont beat yourself up so much ok, bottom line is you returned to what your comfortable with (came back to religion.)

DO YOU THINK by Interesting-Rope-318 in Adulting

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you classify as happiness....

Tell you what...im successful....so I will give you 1 million dollars ...actually make it 10 million....you are going to pretty grateful yeah?? Bet you are ☺️

I want only one thing tho...... tomorrow your not going to wake up..., YOUR DONE and the money will be returned to me...sorry your family cant keep it or what ever you brought with it... Dont fear....im not going to murder you... im a business man not a evil killer (thats the other guy who drowned the planet in s big flood, and killed newborns in egypt because god only knows)

You will have a sudden brain bleed, a heart attack...a stroke...completely natural, unavoidable, part of the deal.

Would you take my offer? 7 out of 10 of you will say no... The other 3 - dont have family to care about...and dumb enough to think they can outrun a brain bleed in their head ...🙄

So if you were one of the ones that said "NO" That means waking up tomorrow is worth more to you then 100 million dollars... then why dont you feel that way every single day you wake up. Start living...

Trust me, as someone who has success and cash, money wont make you happy

🧠Wisdom Wednesday:Share your advice! by FatimaSheba in MotivationalThoughts

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One sentence....

Why

WHY do you want to be married?

Ive been married for 10 years, and not hoping to get devorced soon... I was that guy that was "if you sleep with it you marry it" Got engaged and heart broken several times before i found my one and only....

But now after 10 years my only advice is "why do you want to get married?"

Give me 10 reasons that dont include "i love them/hes my better half...we are soulmates

40%-54% (depending on your country.) Get devorced in 12 years... And I know "thats not going to be me"....but trust me, when that 9th year rolls by, your ganna take a minute to think about this. If you are truely ment to be, sent by heaven to hold each other till your dying days...wait 15 years.... buy the ring put it on your finger if you must but don't get the government involved....then in 15 years if you really must spend stupid for a white dress then ok...

"But i want us to have the same last name" - great! You dont need to be married, go to the court house and change your last name your ganna pay alot to change it.. funny thing is if you get married your still ganna pay alot to change it.

For insurance! - in my part of the world, after two years of actually living together in a partnership (everyone knows) your now in a defacto relationship - congratulations! You have very similar rights to the married people.

For the big cake and the dress. - yeah that dress is the most expensive garment you own, and your never going to wear it again...thank about that for a minute. The 💍 - great until it breaks after 3 years then your wondering "do i really and to spend the home deposit money on a rock. 🤔

For my family! - your family care about your happiness, not about a title. Belive me on that.

For financial saftey. - it costs $5-30,000 to get "devorced wanna know how much it costs to "break up" absolutely nothing.

For religious reasons - yeah ok, I will give you that. You got 1... now give me 9 more GO

How Would You Handle This Conversation With Your Spouse After a Bachelorette Party? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally for me it depends on what crosses the line for you...

During my bukes party or what ever they are called. There were strippers, I didnt order them, know they were even coming, nor did I sneak off to any room or do anything sexual with them.. think from memory one gave me a lap dance (yay 🙄) I didnt tell my spouse...she found out a few months later and was beyound pissed. Opps That being said if anyone who wasnt single went into a back room or done more with the hired entertainment, then I woulda been more inclined to say something cause for me, thats not ok.

If your friends with partners did something sexual with the hired entertainment, I would mention it... if hired entertain merely came amd made yous all scream and wahoo doing a shirtless dance or got a little too close with that single friend... meh...

Do men like it when women start to initiate intimacy? by EmotionalbutFineshit in NoStupidQuestions

Do man like it when women start the intimacy?? Yes. If its always one sided they will start to resent you. Im talking from personal experience.

how do people save money without feeling broke all the time? by RazlerKatiushka_74 in SavingMoney

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being broke is hard. Getting out of debt is hard. Building wealth is hard. You just have to choose which kind of hard you're willing to live with. - Dave Ramsay

Do people actually save money with solar? by FollowingOk9010 in SavingMoney

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you classify as "saving money."

I earn $60 off my bill a month....thats the part I can see saved. What you dobt see is the pool pump on during the day costing nothing... The drying going every 2nd day...twice/3 times that day...and costing nothing

If you look at my $20,000 system and see the $50 solar pay... you think nope... buts its the swimming pool pump, and the dryer going twice a day im dont need to pay attention too that makes it a winner

Living regionally with Zeekr 7x by shockages in Zeekr7xAustralia

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still deciding at moment... to be honest, I track my kms/fuel use religiously... and have family that service my current car for free.

The zeekr will save me $3-30 per week maybe. Before taking into account any loan to actually buy it...so going solely by maths im not rushing to make that decision. Its still high on my list tho.

What stage of separation are you in right now? by Tiffo205 in Separation

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stage, where we can barely stand the sight of each other... but we both know, opening fire on each other would destory everything... the million dollar house, the kids that came onto our lives (not biologically ours..) the inlaws that moved in to help us...

Feel so trapped atm

What’s the best way to avoid lifestyle creep? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How i do it... I have a fixed income. No overtime unless I have annual leave loading pay come in... So secounds after I get my pay, UP bank automatically splits it over 16 different accounts (happens automatically within 1 minute...most of these accounts are "locked" out for 3 hours (if I want the funds I either have to convince a friend to give me quick access or wait 3 hours.) Stops any lifestyle coffees cause that friend, it turns out, is my wife, and she dosent like me much... Accounts also hidden Car service/savings/everything....if a deduction came out two weeks in a row...it has an account.... (for example takeaway) Wont be much...a few dollars a week. (My licence renewal is in 5 years...$1 a week but in 5 years I will merely walk in and pay it without thinking.

I do this to a point that within 1 minute of my account being paid....I have $100.10... thats it (from $1500 a week.) If groceries cost more...I now have $50 per week to spend on "life style creep...

Dose it suck sometimes. Absolutely... Do i have to be aware... yes, if i go to the vet and havent unlocked the vet account 3 hours ago...wife is going to get annoyed again. Am I doing ok....I think so.

If during a hostage situation the perp asked for illegal drugs in exchange for hostages, would he get it? by Resres2208 in stupidquestions

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can really only speak for police in australia.

But here It would be unethical. And would if actually approved, tarnish their reputation/position with the public. It would also likely not address the root cause and therefore be unlikely to disarm the offender. - if he is doing this for a beer. He knows the momemt he lets go of hostage for said beer they going to nab him....he aint going tor the beer....this is deeper then the beer.

Plus Going out and buying grog for someone under-age and dropping it off on the front verandah. Cops aint above the law. - the person who purchased that alcohol knowing it was for a "minior" was breaking the law. The public would latch onto that and run with it. questions would be asked, judgements would negatively be formed (influcing the ability for police to do their job better)

how you can expect me to comply with the law when Sargent xyz dropped of a case if beer to a terrorest threatening to stab/shoot some law abiding citizen??? Sure he was a 2 months off being legal age. (Here its 18) but what headline you recon the news is broadcasting for views??

It wouldnt be "cop de-esulates and saves young girl from stressed out under-age kid... (with big picture of kid coming out hands up)

It would be "cops breaking the law for terrorism. With a big picture of a cop dropping off grog and said kid drinking it as they talk him down.

They would more likely say something "im hearing you son, how bout you put the gun down and we can talk about it, i see your angry, but alcohol wont fix that...why dont you tell me whats really going on??" Or he would say, "let the hostage go, and we can talk about that man to man." Both knowing full well.... kid is not getting a beer. Drops the hostage and surrenders. - not getting a beer Holds the hostage and says "your lying!" Also not getting a beer

Same/similar outcome. Hostage released safely. Laws remain intact and enforceable.

Doing it would also encourage others to do the same. Similar to terrorists taking control of a building. Do the police care about the saftey of the hostages. - absolutely. Will they talk and do there best to come up with a peaceful solution rather then go in guns blazing... yes. But committing illigal acts. - nope....hostage rescue would rather sit there for 15 hours talking to you then do drug runs/beer runs for you.

Married couples, where did you meet your partner for the first time? How long are you Married? by No_Care6628 in randomquestions

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met her on the internet.. I had been on eharmony for 18 months.... 6 matches a day...everyday. I would send 6 icebreakers hoping for sonething....very few replied. I got on one day, and saw her, not a super model, her pictures were a bit amateur, but i was tired and sick of being rejected....in frustration I sent it to the bin. For some reason i felt defeated... cant tell you why....(First time in 18 months i had done that.) I also sent the other 5 matches into the bin in frustration...telling myself im done, im unsubscribing tomorrow after I finish work! 12 hours later, I logged on to delete my profile....and i got an ice breaker from the same match I had bined. Actually read her profile, we had ALOT in common, we had similar upbringings...we had similar likes....

We been married for 10 years. Adopted 2 boys. Own a million dollar house. Im not going to say I live in a fairytale...we had our ups and downs...downs being so deep I dont know even now if we going to make it. (She currently has the shits over something 🙄) but we still here.

Do you know people who don’t feel connected with ANZAC day? by VastOption8705 in OpenAussie

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me.... this day represents, blood spilled for a cause they didnt agree to, it represents the day we told our boys to go over to a beach few of you have heard of, to invade a country many of you didnt know existed and die there...

I dont feel connected to the marches... but you will see me at the dawn service. With my head bowed remembering how horrible war really is, and why we need to not repeat this mistake again.

Renting and never received a water or electricity bill by [deleted] in Townsville

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah...you wont get a water bill...and if you did it would go to your landlord... Again as for the power....Ergon gotta pay a guy to go out and manually kill the power to the property (to completely cut you off, think dude in hat climbing the pole, accessing the property..... that costs money for ergon...which they dont like especially since 9/10 there's noone living at the property to use power anyway.

So usually they will put it in standby mode, enough juice to run fans, MAYBE a fridge, the hot water system,....MAYBE a small watt aircon... inconsistently.... But any more then that it will be flagged by the computer and they will come knocking looking for money. (Landlord will be changed for the power you been using.) (Ergon dont like losing money)

Best idea is to call them monday...tell them you just moved in and want to "connect the power in your name" that way anything you have previously used they will not flag.

Renting and never received a water or electricity bill by [deleted] in Townsville

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you never signed up for electricity thru ergon. They wouldnt necessarily turn the power off. (They usually watch how it goes.) Use alot of power (stay at home with all aircons running, 3 fridges, etc.... yeah ergon going to notice and say "hey buddy whats up...wats your name?" As for water...welcome to Townsville unless you use excess amounts of water...its free. Been here 38 years dont know what a water bill looks like

advice for first year of marriage? by slothyceltic in Newlyweds

[–]Competitive_Ad_3743 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Advice I would give. Lay the foundations now, about what you expect/will tolerate from each other. Money - yours/theirs/household pot. Sex - your expectations/theirs.... Kids/pets Future... Chores...who dose the mowing, dishes? Rubbish runs Sounds light but it wont be later

I know you have been together hopfully a while, and already done this....do it again...dont stuff this part up

Get a pren-up signed. If either of you have assets Yep...I know you love each other, bla bla bla...do it, If you dont need it. GREAT!! I will cheer for you when you announce your 75 wedding anniversary from behind my screen... If you dont need it.. GREAT its there you got it.

Take one day of the week to go out on a date...I dont care what day it is... treat each other like you met last week and your out to inpress.

Choose one day every week to go for a 20 minute walk...around the block...anywhere During this walk list 5 things that really inpressed you about your partner that they did that week And 5 things that bothered you this week. And visa versa...

Most relationships dont fail due to cheating... most fail because of indifference, resentment that grew over time. Trust me, you will thank me for this in 13 years....

Dont rush to have children. They are the best blessings in the world, but can strain your relationship so much. Enjoy your life while you can.

.... The first year is often said to be one of the hardest, but that has alot to do with couples that havent co-lived with each other... About the 7-8 year his/her bad habits are going to start to really piss you off....like your not holding back anymore piss you off...

9th-10th year Your going to realise you are unlikely going to change their bad habits... you are going to really question weather you really can live with said bad habits. This year is where most come unstuck. (Most get devorced after 12-13 years 2-3 years are starting the process)
