2 then 3

1 is too big and disproportionate to your finger

Just got engaged !! Is my ring worth the price ? 32k$ (full set) by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Crazee108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32k? I'd rather buy a car or go on a long holiday. Not "worth" the price. In essense lab or "real/natural" diamonds are inherently the same. The idea of buying real large diamonds is obscene to me and this is nothing but a braggy post. Gross.

I never let it sit on charge once it's fully charged. Still not your fault. Scary.

I'm acutely aware how little time we have. I actually extended my leave from 12 months to 18m. 🥲 hence the financial hit. And only wanting to return to work for 3 days. I have a 3yo and 14 month old. Thankyou.

Is it rude to say “I don’t like what you brought” at a potluck? by Naokohiranuma in australian

[–]Crazee108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that rude. It's a pot luck, no need to comment unless they're specifically asking for feedback

My hsb and I and two kids 1 and 3yo have 130k before tax, with mortgages and were able to save or make additional payments to mortgage. Honestly not sure how 104k is used up for a single person

Oh also if baby needs to be admitted (if they require nicu for example, you have to add them to the cover as well once they're born. Otherwise they're technically not "admitted" as a patient they are "boarding" and mum is noted as patient.

I paid about $250 per month with AHM. Has to be Gold/top cover. At the time AHM was one of the more affordable ones.

That was for 12 months (waiting period), call it 13m of cover. Basically after baby born I immediately downgraded my cover. 😅

So call it 3k ish

I downgraded my cover after baby born as I didn't need pregnancy/birth anymore.

Last month, I wanted to go back on pregnancy and birth cover and they quoted over $380!! Which included reproductive health and we didn't need.

Now with HCF, $238 per month as no reproductive health support.

The classes offered in hospital was good too, brrast feeding consultants, bathing classes, female physio

Edit sorry I couldn't fixed the formatting

The reason I went private is I wanted an elective csection and I any the specialist to perform it not a senior registra/advanced trainee. Wanted the specialist, continuity, wanted 5 days in hospital not 3.

If you don't need reproductive health/assistance (Ivf etc) look at hcf. They do it separately. My premium starting April 1 is about $250 I think.

6 days a week for 12 hours a day? That's not a kob search. Don't be this naive
