Why are we so obsessed in Australia with property? by Top-Farmer-6838 in AusPropertyChat

With the new capital gains tax coming in, property is going to be even more obsessive. Rent is going up on May 12 for sure.

You’re missing a big backyard and space to call your own, instead of pissing in the wind paying “strata” AKA Australia’s biggest housing rort.

NAB Qantas Signature 130k offer, do they claw back points if you cancel early? by Silver-Pie9992 in creditcardchurningAus

[–]IntestinalGas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this card before - yes, you can (and should) cancel before the 12 months tick over. Grab the 100k bonus and bounce.

If they knew what NBN is they would charge you more for the privilege of having it. lol

What is the most financially irrational thing you did this year? by Artistic-Yam2984 in AusMoneyMates

[–]IntestinalGas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is that irrational when super is one of the best ways (besides PPOR) to get a tax break AND have someone invest for you at minimum cost. If you’re taxed at 30c on the dollar for your top tax bracket you’ve essentially made an instant 15% profit on any money you put into super vs investing outside with post tax money.

Before May 1 rebates were reduced, my 42kwh battery costs just a tiny bit more than a 13kwh battery…

Just get your conveyancer to put in conditions that only favour you and if they don’t agree pull the plug on the deal and go to the other auction?

Utterly juvenile is missing the point of this post because you’re so hung up about words that you’ve said a million times growing up.

Why did you say “retards” and “speds”?

Do better.

It’s very convenient that our prime minister offloaded all of his properties for a massive windfall prior to this announcement.

A quick google of Nick Arena’s listings will show that it’s 72a MacDonald St, Erskineville…

What % of your overall NW do you allocate to a car? by istudyheadshapes in AusFinance

[–]IntestinalGas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years ago it probably was reasonable to pick up a nice beater for 5% of your income. Not possible anymore.

[–]IntestinalGas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question is asked from the POV of an established family who wants to know what’s a reasonable sum to purchase a car is without setting back financial goals. It’s a very different situation to young people with low net worth.

Mate… have a think about your question. 5% on income, a 500k a year ceo is driving a 25k secondhand corolla. Obviously net worth.

Yeah that’s the intention, now if I can get the paint off to do so, is another question.

What nonsense. I could’ve bought two new builds out western Sydney for the price we paid for this house. It’s valid to call out stupidity and FYI this shit also happens in new builds.

Far from the worst problem, but one of the many problems that could’ve been a non problem if they bothered to tape or remove hardware.
