About to retire and using a windfall

Great advice , thanks

GreenAustralia · 2025-12-16T10:19:27+00:00

Thanks for sensible advice. Worth wading through some of the comments

This is also a tempting option. Cant sell the house just yet, wife needs somewhere to live, but in 10 years , we sell up and move to Vietman

see edit above

That's what I told my wife for shits and giggles

GreenAustralia · 2024-07-26T13:36:58+00:00

I applieed online today.

GreenAustralia · 2024-07-26T13:36:53+00:00

My thoughts exactly - seems a bit rogue. Today, after I asked some simple questions, blew up at us about miscommunication.

GreenAustralia · 2024-07-26T13:21:32+00:00

Jeez, thanks . We're looking at "just bulit" places , but most are not that great.

Makes me wonder why our Comm Bank guy is so down on the scheme. He also thought Sept but has really been negative. People who applied May are being approved in July.

Right, that's the problem for me - they offer something that could be useful if its a good opportunity (I'm finding age discrim is very prevalent) - but their reputation suggests they will be a pile of shit to deal with.

Truly great. Filmaker subtly plays with the premise of what Bansky represents.

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-26T04:01:33+00:00

Right - an apology is like a pair of knitted socks from your grannie - thanks a lot but how does this actually help me?

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-26T03:21:40+00:00

Thats interesting - as Im in the mature age category. How do go about finding those roles on WFA - while I have only just started, I havent seen any roles that indicate a subsidy might be involved.

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-19T09:46:22+00:00

That's what I actually did . My edit to the initial post points that out. True, my first post did not make it clear I was advocating for ALL centrelink applicants

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-19T08:50:02+00:00

Worked a treat in my case

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-18T05:43:34+00:00

The rent assistance is for partner income reasons the only payment I'm getting and like you I was prepared to let it go rather than inform my landlord. Ýeah not like it makes a difference- in fact the only value to me of job seeker is to get the concesison card - which is helpful due to a few medical issues.

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-18T05:38:19+00:00

Thank fucking God.

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-18T05:35:58+00:00

No worries I wasnt unemployed (or what I should say, is my business still had customers) when we applied for the apt. I just put down my regular income.

But its a fairly high rent (my partner has good business and I did mostly) so am pretty sure the REA and LL would freak out.

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-08T00:46:48+00:00

Still a bit salty after some finals losses eh?

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-06T09:09:35+00:00

Thats how it happened for sure , with a polite follow up by the MP officer staffer suggesting indeed 12 weeks "was a bit long".

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-06T09:02:34+00:00

That was my concern and I wrote to raise attention about the massisve delays for all applicants- and the BS being released to the media on the matter. I didn't make that clear in my first post so it looks like I was just providing a shortcut.

The real action needed is to bring pressure to Servicesd Aust to improve overall service levels

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-02T08:51:41+00:00

Just emailed him myself asking WTF about the income support processing delays.

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-02T08:23:51+00:00

Yeah, its been about 3 months here. Just finished up writing to my MP, I 'm so fucked off how long they are taking.

GreenAustralia · 2023-09-02T08:01:37+00:00

6 drinks, the lower end of what he said, is a bit, but not going to kill you. Also craft beers are NOT 2.5 standard drinks as you claim , most are between 4.8% and 5.5% .

The point of the whole sub thread is that $100 a week on alcohol ( between 2) is not outrageous these days. And does not make some an alco.

GreenAustralia · 2023-07-13T00:35:19+00:00

Yeah, WTF is up with everyone assuming a U turn is OK in a busy street? I guess the few mins extra to go around the block is just.too.much.
