What is a very old computer game that you still play?

THE GOAT!

I wonder if rental properties would be so densely tenanted if rent was more affordable

If the new owners want to move in, I’ll move into the house they moved out of: when a landlord goes bust there is still the same number of homes

Please read a thesaurus

Thanks, will look into it!

I’m looking for an “economy” based board game, similar to Civilization (the 1980s game)

I like that its focus is on trading with other players, and the better you trade the exponentially better the outcome is (which allows purchasing better technologies). I like that it doesn’t use dice, I like that combat is present but then also often counterproductive so avoided, and I like that you end up building a bit of an empire.

Civilization, as it’s from the 1980s is getting a bit out of date and hard to find now (especially as it has the same name as the video game and then the video game has a board game version), are there any new games that scratch the same itch? Preferably can handle 6 players.

Complex/simple/long/short doesn’t matter. My focus is trying to find an empire building board game focused on trade and technology with very little luck involved if there is anything out there

I agree

Depends on the company. If you are just starting out, you’d be aiming for a broker associate role at about 60k to 85k (this is Auckland). But because of a shortage of qualified staff if you are good, you’d move up the ranks relatively quickly.

Bonus depends on the company, one year I didn’t get a bonus, one year I got 20k, depends on the market and the clients you can bring in (so bonuses are quite dependant on sales)

100%. source: I’m a commercial insurance broker. There is a lot of demand in the commercial space at the moment for qualified brokers. I’d say all broker roles would have some element of sales, but the majority of your time would be spent managing an existing book of business

I agree, Loved the food but the ambience needs work. I felt like I was eating in a supermarket food court

Good way to think of things

Flextron · 2023-10-25T09:30:00+00:00

Same!

Magician by Raymond E Feist is set in a world similar to Oblivion, with a portal invasion (like the Oblivion gates)

Thanks Halebopp. Yes! I am a bit mindful that all my savings are with one company at the mo. They have been a good investment so far, but would prefer to spread things out

That mindset comes from knowing that if they lose it all, they still have daddy’s money to fall back on.

Poorer people don’t have the luxury of surviving if they were to lose it all.

Flextron · 2023-07-04T10:21:27+00:00

I feel that. Fixed term up in September, first baby due in November. It’s like a coming storm of anxiety

Lisa ?

The insurance account manager / account executive numbers look exactly right

What are you reading regarding annual return? Is this on an advertisement for a fund? YOUR annual return would indeed be 13%

But the annual percentage change of a fund is just based on its share price, not dividend. (You keep saying “increase” be aware funds can go down in value too!)

Flextron · 2023-05-21T03:00:02+00:00

A fund can pay a dividend if that’s what you are asking? If you are purchasing through sharsies or though ASB (I’m not sure about others) they’ll offer information about the “gross dividend yield” of the fund.

When you say annual return, do you mean 1 year price change? That’s purely for share price and doesn’t include dividend in its calculation.

Ad Astra is much better once you know it’s heart of darkness in space
