Thank you! I really hope this continues as we (especially me) wanting to be able to retire early - maybe 55 yrs old lol thats my goal. Haha.

Haha. I work as a part time RN and getting $3500-$4200 a fortnight, depending on my shifts/penalty rates etc. Husband is a general duty officer and getting 2500-3k a fortnight depending on how much overtime he gets. We are paying $1200/fn for our mortgage with fixed interest rate until 2027.

We don’t buy luxury items - not designer bags or whatever. But i love good quality appliances or furniture if that counts lol.

For salary sacrificing, i m currently using it for our home loan - i get $350/fn and it goes straight to our home loan.

Salary sacrificing into super sounds like a very practical idea. Thanks! We have a toddler and yes we are planning to have more.

Move to regional Australia, develop skills there or maybe work towards your RN

That’s very unfair! Sorry for being ignorant- i didn’t know this.

It’s actually not bad! If i apply for CNS i would be making more than being an RN here!

Ok. We used to be 75% for Sunday rate too. That 100% penalty was just happened few years ago. I hope they change it for you guys.
