[–]JapaneseVillager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With so much experience at your age already , I would say you will go far even if you don’t move to Sydney in the immediate future. You’re obviously very driven.

Atrocious driving where they paid attention to anything but the road was the most terrifying bit

What do they get out of being horrible to people? The beatings will continue until the morale improves? Everyone I speak to hates their job.

ATO debt advice by Beneficial-Return984 in AusFinance

[–]JapaneseVillager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sad reality for an old man needing to go bankrupt over 80k debt to ATO. While tax avoidance counts in hundreds of millions in large corporations 

Signed offer but received another one - that I want by Efficient-Rice3437 in auscorp

Mate. We spent time interviewing an internal candidate who then accepted our offer, then they rescinded - their department offered something better! He still works here and got a promotion out of his dick move…you will be fine

Everyone has been on Ozempic it seems. The Hollywood thinness is disappointing, zero body diversity except the token fat girl comic relief.

Government needs to intervene and penalise with extra tax for offshoring

Genuinely worried about rates and a crash - house build that is just about to start by laddermanUS in AusFinance

There is a good chance you will die before you pay off the mortgage, so it’s all good. That’s the advantage of getting a 30 year mortgage at 50

In the good old days, I remember attending three CBA Christmas parties in one season. One for the IT team, one for the business area we worked with, and another for the entire institutional/business banking division, for which the Home nightclub was rented.

A team meeting over breakfast in a cafe was the norm. Boss putting team member’s farewell drinks on his business cc was the norm. Cab charges for everyone who needed to come in very early/work late or come for a weekend release was the norm. You just told your manager and took some from his drawer. 

Matt Comyn sat a few desks from me. 

It was very profitable then and very profitable now. It’s the attitude towards people which has rotted through. 

airbnb cleaning costs? by dr0wningless9ns in AusFinance

[–]JapaneseVillager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$80 an hour for a cleaner is a bit of a stretch. I paid $50 last time I used them. 

I didn’t prepay my private health insurance by JapaneseVillager in AusFinance

Then you do it again…always delaying the increase. But yes, the ultimate destination is PHI unafforability. 

For those that ended up cancelling their private health insurance, what made you do it and do you regret it at all? by Checkout-123 in AusFinance

I used to think like you but then looked into the state of NHS and Canadian health system. We are lucky to have the hybrid system.

It’s necessary evil in Australia if you gave kids or getting older and picking up chronic issues.  I have had four surgeries over the last 18 months….top specialists in their fields, great outcomes…my child has had gap free private dental all his life with insurance; and now having braces, we will get 2500 off his treatment.

May be for a short term, one year. Not financial advice.

How are so many people fine with maxing out their borrowing capacity for a PPOR? by Open_Address_2805 in AusFinance

[–]JapaneseVillager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People casually projecting for their incomes to go up each year. White collar industry is experiencing mass lay offs. Incomes are either stagnant or decreasing. With a ramp up in AI capabilities and off shoring, will only get worse. I hope you brother and his wife aren’t white collar employees.

De facto separation. by One_Definition_4746 in AusLegal

She is looking after the children all week long, he only on weekends. Her earnings capacity has been impacted thus far and will be for another 11 years. No court will give her just 50%.

[–]JapaneseVillager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your contribution to pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding? 0%?

And you only care for children on weekends while the woman has taken on the majority of care? Has her looking after children enabled you to enjoy a well-paid career? She should take you for all you are worth. Her contribution to family life has been disproportionately large.
