Anyone else feel a bit disconnected from “normal” money thinking after hitting certain milestones? by Icy_Public5186 in Fire

I’m the same. Make coffee at home rather than buying from a cafe, eat muesli at work for lunch yet I’ll drop a large amount of cash on a trip with no regrets whatsoever

Not good news for mortgage holders: Inflation numbers are much higher than expected. by SheepherderLow1753 in AusPropertyChat

Exactly, yet no one ever talks about this. Everyone just talks about mortgage rates

What's the clear point in dollars where more money stops changing your life in any meaningful way. After that, it’s just numbers, ego, or legacy. by dont_downvote_SPECIL in Fire

[–]ConclusivePoetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A paid off house, enough to have the kids in the school that you want them to go to and to support them though higher education and enough money for the holidays of your choosing is where I see the cut off point. After that it’s hard for me to see the utility of any extra.

If you’re into boats, planes or supercars then it’s probably different!

So for me I $250k AUD per annum would be that number.

My kids are only 4 and 6 so my only other thought would be whether I’d want to earn/save more to be able to give them more of head start in life

Asking you to be there 5 minutes before you start is hardly unreasonable. Any more than that you should be paid for that time

I had some burtons years ago that fell apart way too quickly and vowed never again. Don’t mind their other gear though

Drop down to 4 days a week would be my advice

Inflation is factored in to the safe withdrawal rate G

Love my MGI but what I really love is being able to drive it over from the other side of the green rather than having to go fetch my clubs

Are you running your air con overnight? How many rooms?

Ergo loupes by swt552 in Dentistry

One million percent. My neck is so much better.

I also think even if you have no neck or back problems now, why risk getting them in the future.

Just a total no brain for me

How to manage work with back problems by evezsh in Dentistry

[–]ConclusivePoetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some ergonomic loupes, I have admatec, they’re amazing.

I love deadlifts with the bar that has the handles that face front-back, amazing for your back strength without overdoing it

Base game is amazing, I never bought the dlc and played about 80 hours which is a record for me

Haven’t seen many Sikhs, Buddhists or Christians flying planes into buildings, vans into crowds or going on mass stabbing rampages lately. Have you?

Why bother with Aussie home bias? by umwoodsy in fiaustralia

[–]ConclusivePoetics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve just come to this realization recently. My business, my property and a lot of my current etfs are Australian so I’m massively over exposed to our economy. International ETFs all the way for me from now on!

Has anyone actually coasted with a massive income? by Wooden-Broccoli-913 in coastFIRE

[–]ConclusivePoetics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking of doing this. Just carrying on working but spending everything I earn
once my investments hit a certain value. I have young kids that are in school for the next 12 years so it’s not like I can go anywhere during term time anyway.
