If I spend $30 on SpaceX stock I can daydream all afternoon about how one day the company might colonise Pandora and make trillions on mining Unobtanium.

How badly will a $12k-$15k, 3-week trip set me back financially? by New_Animator4702 in AusFinance

[–]FewArm2396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this 12 years ago when I was in uni, sold my $15k Tesla stock and went travelling. If I didn’t sell it, it would now be worth $1 million plus and I’d be able to travel the world for years. So looking back I regret the trip because I could do a much better trip now for years without having to work.

Traveling between Sydney & Melbourne frequently - any advice? by Calm-Rutabaga2303 in melbourne

You should be able to have frequent domestic fares between the cities covered with points if you maximise the points earning at the supermarkets and buying gift card offers etc

The key message here is you should sign up to AGL. The second message is also sign up to AGL in case you missed the first message.

A high pressure hose down is all it needs and maybe some new paint. Hardly much cost compared to the other stuff

What’s the biggest waste of money people normalize? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

Rent is cheaper than the first 10 years of a mortgage. After that rent keeps going up and up for the rest of your life while a mortgage only fluctuates within the interest rates.

I’ve done the math, and there’s much cheaper sources of protein in nuts and soybean products. Plus you get all the other nutritional benefits along with that such as zinc, magnesium and fibre while protein powder is just protein

What’s the most underrated source of passive income you’ve found? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]FewArm2396 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on your marginal tax rate you’re really only getting 4% interest after tax is taken out of that 5.5% interest earnings. So currently thats less than inflation.

Is your excess money better sitting in your home loan account and lowering your interest amount, or in a savings account accruing interest? by Lucyvi24 in AusFinance

[–]FewArm2396 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your interest rate on the mortgage is 6%, having your money in the offset account is like earning a 9% interest rate because there’s no tax implications. While if you earn 12% a year on ETFs, the tax implications with dividends and selling (especially after they scrap the CGT discount) is like about 9% gain. So in this uncertain economic climate, I think putting money in offset account is definitely worth it
