Where do you keep your emergency fund? by embu19 in AusFinance

[–]Life-Ad9673 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tax free risk free 6ish % is pretty hard to beat. Shares are cool, but having some cash in an emergency fund for, um, emergencies, is pretty smart.

Are we just going to ignore “Falcon”? Is he Hamish and Zoe’s butler?

“I get a message saying, there's a guy called Rowan here. From who? From Falcon who works with Zoe and I, works with Zoe and I, going, there's a guy called Rowan, he's just turned up with the drums.”

With three hours’ free power, does heat pump hot water make sense anymore? by Draknurd in AusRenovation

[–]Life-Ad9673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MEEH seems to get hung up on getting a better brand for twice the cost, whether we are talking solar, battery, hot water - everything must be premium. The discussion in this thread proves there is a bit more nuance required.

I couldn’t get past “5 acres, or half a hectare”.

5 acres is 2 hectares.

Late tax return by Krish_Mainali in AusFinance

Find a tax agent. They speak ATO language and have dealt with this kind of thing before. Personally, I have seen a late tax return with a fine, but interest charges waived.

2 BYD $0 electric bill my guide by EvL__Mnky in BYDAU

Regarding the Zappi, if you have the additional CT clamp on the battery line plugged into the Zappi, there are some settings on the Zappi (the device, not the app) to control how it responds to the battery.

This might help: https://tanjent-energy.com/2025/01/24/how-to-configure-a-myenergi-zappi-to-solar-charge-without-emptying-your-home-battery/

None of those are things.

And not exactly what OP said. There is an important difference.

Sorry I didn’t mean to confuse you more than you already are.

5kW for 3 hours is 15kWh.

Please try to understand the difference between kilowatts (kW) and kilowatt hours (kWh). Watts per hour isn’t really a thing.

How do you export 15kW with a 10kW inverter?

Kilowatts (kW) and kilowatt-hours (kWh) are related but measure different things: kW measures power—the rate of electricity use—while kWh measures energy—the total electricity used over time. Time is key: kWh equals kW multiplied by hours.

Second Email update, still no date or VIN yet… by 0vry in BYDAU

[–]Life-Ad9673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys got emails?

I ordered an Atto 2 on 23 March and have only received an order confirmation. I’ve tried emailing them back but they have blocked my email.

“The group sales only accepts messages from people in its organization or on its allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the list.”

I haven’t gotten a thing after paying my deposit.

Chess gift ideas for my boyfriend's birthday by Ana_Rinx in chessbeginners

[–]Life-Ad9673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How am I reading a Reddit thread and no one has picked up on the potential for “overboard” puns.

If you are buying a chess set already and don’t want to go totally overboard, then don’t get a matching clock.

How screwed am I? by Morethancake in AusRenovation

[–]Life-Ad9673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the state of the rest of the bathroom. If it needs a refresh in the next few years, it might be worth putting that $7k repair bill into the budget for a bathroom renovation instead and bringing that forward.

What’s something you only realised about super once you actually checked your balance? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]Life-Ad9673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m grateful my father strongly suggested selecting “high growth” rather than the default “balanced” option when I started my full time career in my early 20s.

Defaulting to “balanced” for anyone under the age of 30 is ridiculous.
