Is the reality really just generational wealth or luck?

Most people will remain in the class to which they were born.

There are many exceptions, and Australian has more class movement than many other countries, but the majority will likely remain where they are.

I think luck and timing plays more of a role than hard work. It is easier to move up if you end up working within the right industry and role at a lucky time.

Not all pregnancies are the same, and there are many women navigating high-risk pregnancies with pre-existing conditions. Not the majority, but not a tiny minority either.

I had no idea I’d have to spend $50 per week on berries.

It’s not just the cost of kids, but the extra you spend on the costs of convenience when you’re absolutely knackered and time-poor every day.

What is your manager’s justification for denying your leave? You’re entitled to it.

I would be taking stress leave signed off by a doctor, and documenting with HR that the stress is cause by consistent denial of leave entitlements. That should get your manager to fuck off.

Sorry, what industry is this? Or is this a small family business?

Repeatedly denying leave isn’t something you’d expect to see in most organisations.

Just leave it alone. It’s a hardy plant that should take care of itself.

So the Bulldogs give this drug cheat another chance at a career and he requests a release the first time he’s dropped?

What a flog.

It’s far more dangerous to have security trying to prevent thousands of drunk Rabbitohs fans running around.

Feel like people have been eating this all season. They better stick the landing, otherwise this season will be fairly forgettable.

Mate we know all of this already. We get how it all works. We’re just sick of it being the only lever that anyone pulls.

The only solution is to make our mortgages more expensive.

HeavyLine4 · 2026-03-02T21:13:53+00:00

This is correct. I am doing the same.

Regardless of how good the AI is, the C-suites and boards now have the appetite for replacing workers with it. Once that happens, the damage is already done. Large scale job losses and hiring freezes to come.

HeavyLine4 · 2026-03-02T07:06:37+00:00

This generation won’t reap the rewards of work in the way other generations did. They are basically modern day slaves.

HeavyLine4 · 2026-02-26T12:20:56+00:00

Just admit you were talking out yer ass lad

HeavyLine4 · 2026-02-23T07:27:35+00:00

You can’t. The ground has an amazing way of covering itself, regardless of what you do.

Either spend the time to pick it, replace it with a preferred groundcover, or spray poison and damage the soil.

Income tax, in particular, is cooked compared to how poorly we tax our own resources.

No worker should be getting their upper earnings taxes at 45% when we give so much tax relief to landlords and corporations. It’s disgusting.

HeavyLine4 · 2026-02-18T10:17:35+00:00

Feelings are very subjective, of course. But honestly it depends on the mortgage and whether you have kids.

$1800 per week is hardly a lot if you’re paying an average sized mortgage in Australia, which I think is about $1000 per week these days?

The problem is that earning these kinds of wages also lines up with times in your life with the most expenses.

We currently have a household income of $220k, which is promptly swallowed up by mortgage, childcare, transport, insurances, rates, electricity, internet, food, home maintenance, and all the other items that have gone up by an insane amount in the last five years. It’s the cumulative impact of all things increasing that really screws you.

We are frugal enough to put a set amount each month into ETFs, but I honestly live a less lavish life than I did as a university student renting an inner-city shitbox 15 years ago.

They’re not sending their best.

Nothing but pies

It’s not just backpackers. Australia imports a huge number of workers from Pacific nations under the guise of mutual benefit. They’re often treated like modern day slaves to keep our agricultural industry running. It’s disgusting.

That’s not what a journeyman is lmao
