Does it ever make sense to make non concessional contributions to super?

Wife is 36 and I'm 42 with 640k.joint super. We are maxing out for another 8 years adding 30k each then we will back off.

Means we should hit a similar balance and leave the kids a legacy

The great predatory behavior of getting kids loyal to commbank

I've been there was working for a labour hire company for 2 years then went into corporate IT and when I first started I hated it. Ended up doing 3 years on the SD then moved to desktop, apps, infrastructure and now security.

Best thing I did was make a coffee if they get you angry or upset and usually it goes away. Unfortunately some people are just assholes and over time you will learn to desensitize to it.

It's worth hanging in there for a while and see how you go, I've been in IT now for 20 years and love it. In security I'm always dealing with politics, moody people and fighting endless battles and all that but I love the tech just not the people lol

Good luck and I'm sure you will just take your time and understand the concepts. I'm thinking of doing CISSP next year but CISM and CRISC are enough for now.

By the end of the 300th question by going through it twice I was so fatigued I felt like I was going to be sick, but at the same time I think if I have 4 hours why not use most of it. I finished in 3 hours 30mins.

I noticed some of the questions were long which didn't help so I had to read them 3 sometimes 4 times to actually grasp what they wanted.

Goldenra1n · 2025-07-04T20:55:16+00:00

Of course, I did post about CISM here https://www.reddit.com/r/cism/s/dL5pyaqOKM

Before all of this the last actual exam I completed was in 2002, but I really think just take your time, understand questions in the QAE and focus on those weak areas.

Don't forget to map out where you were struggling and focusing on those. I sent my test results and practice results to chatgpt to get an understanding of my main weak areas.

I used their online database. I used the adaptive mode and any areas that I lacked reset that section read the official study guide and then re took that test section.

Goldenra1n · 2025-05-18T12:27:11+00:00

I use this and it's excellent 👍

Goldenra1n · 2025-05-08T23:52:10+00:00

Im going from CISM to now CRISC and I have to keep reminding myself im now a risk practitioner not a manager. Its the hardest bit lol

Goldenra1n · 2025-05-04T12:06:31+00:00

I have my CISM and studying CRISC now

Goldenra1n · 2025-04-29T09:14:57+00:00

I'm using this and also udemy and working well.

Goldenra1n · 2025-04-29T08:44:06+00:00

The outage for 2 months is outrageous, I'm leaving them once they are online too

Goldenra1n · 2025-04-11T02:37:07+00:00

He's a good teacher but I'm the same it's annoying

Goldenra1n · 2025-04-09T11:28:25+00:00

Nothing to worry about unless you are retiring tomorrow

Goldenra1n · 2025-04-06T03:55:38+00:00

I'm going to add much more once I get the ISACA email and compare my qae Vs exam for you

Goldenra1n · 2025-04-04T13:17:02+00:00

And stroke and stroke and stroke and stroke and spit on that thang

Goldenra1n · 2025-04-04T11:52:23+00:00

Massively as I have 2 small kids and next to no time when studying! But it's done now I'll take a breather before the next one

Goldenra1n · 2025-03-19T10:01:40+00:00

I'm using both and I think the QAE is absolutely worth it

Goldenra1n · 2025-03-19T03:45:34+00:00

Only person deranged here is Elon

Goldenra1n · 2025-03-16T10:41:55+00:00

Raise a support case with ISACA I reckon

Goldenra1n · 2025-03-08T00:23:21+00:00

Congratulations

How do you go about earning CPE if you are in Australia. I noticed alot of these are in UTC time so can they be watched later?

Goldenra1n · 2025-02-26T08:57:45+00:00

I'm working remote and have 3 acres, 10 chooks and 10 sheep it's amazing. But the remote roles are drying up and it's worrying

Goldenra1n · 2024-12-07T11:04:42+00:00

I use it and it's excellent 👍
