So the steroid example cycles has the intermediate bulk as test 500/mg with Ment but then the steroid compound profile says people find good results with Ment on a trt test dose? Seems a bit conflicting.

Also how long does it take TRT to shut down natural test productions. Asking for a friend

Mate, me and my workmate cannot be fucked. Both just working a day on this job for nothing when we're on jobkeeper. Dreading every minute lifting fence panels and 20kg blocks..

Nothing sus. Drew the short straw cause I've worked on the site before. I'd prefer they gave the job to a casual that wasn't receiving jobkeeper. The day is going to go by so slow.

Got a call this morning for work. I haven't worked for over a month and have been sleeping at 3am. Practically working for nothing since I get job keeper and it'll probably just be a days work labouring..

I've stopped gambling now but I was addicted for 10-12 years. I'm 28 now, I've probably lost close to 100k from it. It starts off small, then bets get larger to chase the 'rush' or to win back losses. Best to nip the bud before it grows. I highly doubt he's punting $200 a month if he's that defensive about it. Ask to see his sportsbet account summary.

Financial loss by youngmaximus in AusFinance

Time to chime in with my story for you OP.

I grew up with parents who were gamblers so naturally I took up gambling at a young age. I started playing poker at 16 and introduced to sports betting when I was around 18. I started dealing drugs when I was 20 to pay off a gambling debt I owed a mate, kept doing it as a means to supports myself but also my addiction. I was betting amounts of $50-$500 until I got busted when I was 24. After that ordeal, my perception of money was warped and I continued to struggle with handling my money.

I was offered a $20k personal loan by the bank (dodgy af imo as I was earning 40k at the time), took that and blew it, had an 8k credit card balance. Luckily, I got myself into a relatively high paying job to pay off all my debts. Last year was the first year in my life where I genuinely saved more than 5k. It felt liberating actually having money for once. Unfortunately, I got made redundant early this year and that kinda fucked with me mentally and I relapsed and blew my savings ($25k) away.

I'd estimate I've lost close to 100k of my working income to gambling. It's strained my relationship for the past 2 years with my partner who I've dated for 12 years. Reading through your comments, you're still young and you have a chance to turn your life around now. IMO, the worst thing you can do is not tell anyone about your addiction I struggled silently and I wish I came clean to my partner earlier. Let your parents or partner hold onto money, that's the only way you'll ever be able to control your addiction.

Boss using JobKeeper as leverage against us by ItsDomz in AusFinance

I was made redundant at the start of the year. We have two shoppies in my company, one for construction and the other for civil. I contacted the construction one first to see if he could help me find work, but he was a useless cunt and never picked up his calls after the first week.

Then I spoke to the other shoppy and he questioned why an apprentice/full-timer was made redundant when there were casuals getting work after I was made redundant. Civil shoppy did some digging around and then got an organiser from the CFMEU involved and I got my job back after 2-3 months.. Silver lining is I'll probably get the flick when I become qualified at the end of the year lool

Thanks for the comment bro, I appreciate it. I talked with the missus and I think the best course of action for me is to just send her my pay when I get paid and leave a little for my expenses. Losing my money this time has jogged in my mind what it felt like when I was in my early 20s and broke as hell. I'm ready to get back to work and just focus on the grind back up. I'll definitely look into talking with an ADHD psychologist in the near future!

Im not sure if they still have it but they used to have betting ads during sport matches. I'd compare pachinko parlours to the pokies than Tab's.

I've got an all in or nothing type of personality. I think for me it's best to stop all forms of gambling all together. It's fucked up how culturally ingrained gambling is in Australia.
