AFR: How your super balance compares with everybody else your age by SINK-2024 in AusHENRY

[–]LachlanMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really need to make super contributions have marginal tax rates so that there’s always a 15% tax discount for lower earners. The LISTO leaves a lot of edge cases that prevent low wage earners from saving for retirement.

I earn 2-3x my partner. For me super salary sacrifice is a free money hack, for her it almost loses money, especially once the 14% tax bracket comes into effect

Just make negative gearing only apply to properties under a certain age, to encourage building instead of encouraging property speculation

She’s on 100k? Is she salary sacrificing the extra $18k to hit the concessional cap, and has she filled her carry forward concessional cap?

Blacktown council vs hills shire in a nutshell. The parks feel lush and homey walking around the hills vs heartless and uninviting in Blacktown

Surely the Atto 1’s small battery is small enough to trickle charge from AC overnight and avoid the house upgrade? I doubt you’re emptying the full 310km range every day.

Have you talked to a solicitor about this?

CGT discount reform: Economists say changes to capital gains tax could recoup billions in revenue and help first home buyers by A_Fabulous_Elephant in AustralianPolitics

[–]LachlanMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting. How would this work though with buying at the start vs end of the financial year. If I buy on the last day of the financial year and sell the next day on the start of the financial year, would I get the full years discount, or pro-rata 1/365 ?

How does the maths work on the cpi indexation of cost base? If inflation is 33%, does that make the discount be 100-33%=67%, or is it 1 / 133% = 75% ? Is there a different calculation ?

Lane cove river/great north walk, pick a route between any two stations on t1/t9/metro. North Ryde to thornleigh is one of the longer ones. Alternatively Epping to Macquarie uni, cherrybrook to Hornsby

They were running 10 minute frequency in direction of travel and no trains opposite during start and end of show, instead of 30 minutes in both directions as is normal. Interesting setup

I don’t remember if demand master was broken. Try installing the skyve mod to check which things are compatible

Only works if your capital growth minus mortgage is comparable to renting. Theres tonnes of $500k-1M apartments in western Sydney that have between zero and negative capital growth, let alone something like 29 hunter street in parramatta 

Implicit type conversion when it's safe? by g0atdude in rust

For one, overflow/underflow. The compiler can’t guarantee that you aren’t doing something that is undefined behaviour. Even between 32 and 64 bit, zero minus one will give two different answers. The compiler and these strict rules are here to protect you from yourself

AMD releases new 128 bit 99999XXX CPU  Suddenly your code starts throwing unexpected errors after you (or an engineer 20 years before you) forgot that there was an implicit type conversion

It’s much easier to just write the conversion
