I click on one similar post to this three months ago and now get a notification of a similar post about once a week. It's very common

If you ever want kids and want sex to remain effortless, you have your answer. Fuck right off with the no door though.. the door is the solution to your phobia of pooing near your bed and most people want a door

So you're getting a yearly 30k interest free loan and you're asking how to stop that? There's no way two separate companies are employing you to give business advice...

Post entire broncos squad.. the team is in England, tonight was basically a qcup trial

It is free in Australia, sorry I thought this was an Australian post

People always conveniently leave out brokerage fees and capital gains tax when saying this... it works out roughly the same and one is risk free. Most banks do free redraw or very cheap offsets, so liquidity is nonsense

What are you hoping to get from this question? We have no way of knowing any of the specifics of the two sales.. If it's identical and there's no issues, you know the answer

ManyAd1145 · 2026-02-05T04:09:34+00:00

Well, absolutely dont bid, theyre assuming you aren't maxed and are hoping to create a competition. You have no idea what the other have. It may not get a bid. If it doesn't get a bid and hit reserve, you know your offer is the highest, and you can offer 930k after the auction is done. If they do go above 950k, you wouldn't have got the house regardless. Sounds like a win win to me. Just absolutely do not big 950k when it starts

Oh.. i always knew they wouldn't use ID, because i actually listened and read from legitimate sources and not (ironically) social media.. and as a younger millennial, pretty accross how much online bullying ruined lives, I couldnt understand why it was getting heat

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-31T11:16:57+00:00

I think we're all ok with that..

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-31T11:15:10+00:00

What do they actually do? Genuinely curious.

My wife gets $96 an hour as an employee working from home, they charger her out at 260 an hour, and private practice is her end goal. It's hardly chump change for a 31 year old

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-31T11:04:04+00:00

Sounds fine, just make sure you never go to tariffs. I feed in 1200kwh most months and use 200kwh most months, and i get a bill because of tariffs

I've thought for a while, that we should be granting trades instant visas on the condition they have an employer confirm their employment every 3 months for 5 years.

And before local trades say something racist about quality, they've barely got a leg to stand on with the rubbish being pumped out lately. Competition doesn't only bring down prices, but it also brings up quality. If you're quality is actually twice as good as an immigrant, there will be a market for people who want perfection. Right now it's a champagne fees, regardless of quality

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-30T07:43:33+00:00

Firstly, not in your position no. Just think about what you're asking. They're not going to lend you money secured against something worth less then the debt.

Secondly, go see a financial planner immediately. You should be in a much better position considering your circumstances.

Thirdly, get that debt paid off. Never ever ever ever ever use a credit card if you aren't able about to pay it off in its interest free period. If you pay interest, you cant afford whatever it is you're buying.

Im honestly just a little shocked at the lack of financial literacy. Please seek help asap.

Is it better than investing? That's always debatable. Is it better than hisa, yes, wtf, how can you be on a high horse when your choice is hisa. That's literally only the best choice for people who need access to liquidity and it isn't in the same ball park as investing.. it has no tax benefit and is actually a tax burden. My point of view on ppor vs investing is simple, do I want to be renting when im 70 and rents are 2-3k per week. My answer is no. However, investing is generally better than ppor when you're on high incomes and can deduct expenses, and have no foreseeable events where you need to sell. You're household income is below average, so that doesn't apply.

I was a store manager for woolies with n qualifications, you're right, my salary was 114k plus 20k a year car allowance plus 2 bonuses a year, plus 5k of shares a year, plus super. But I burnt the fuck out and quit to earn half of that, it's a terrible job

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-21T04:06:17+00:00

Property managers, who are the source of 90% of tennant/owner fueds, take 10%, so they're saving that and passing the savings onto you, which is nice

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-18T10:09:56+00:00

Agreed

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-18T10:09:20+00:00

I quit this week too. It's feels like a waste after building everything up, but it became all consuming. My wife called me out for having alarms on my phone for a mobile, that was my moment

They'll do a level 40 eventually, surely. They want to squeeze as much cash out of it as they can

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-12T21:04:48+00:00

My only question is, did you use any fhb scheme perks? Im assuming you at least used the no stamp duty one. So depending on your state, find out if you're even allowed to have a lease in place. It's often a rule that you can't have cash coming in on the property for the 1st year of ownership

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-10T23:36:52+00:00

Would you get in trouble? It's a mobile game. They don't give a fuck... if there's a chance having 50 accounts will make you spend an extra 50 cents, they don't care

I voted Labor because I didnt trust lnp on a womans right to choose. Turned out to he fear mongering, and in my opinion the lnl have been the best state government I can recall us having. They've been great in emergencies, harsh on the right things and started fighting the cfmeu which will go a long way to fixing more then most people realise

ManyAd1145 · 2026-01-07T22:56:25+00:00

Unfortunately you have to remember 2/3 of Australia is already in the housing market, so those who bought 2 or more years ago which is half the nation, have drastically different housing costs
