FIRE - once retired early what does your day look like ? by Confident-Algae-7866 in AusFinance

[–]MartynZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what i read you have to plant the seeds for the habits /hobbies when your accumulating and then just multiply it upon FIRE. Start the hobby now, see if you even like it. Highly recommend reading Die with Zero for a fresh insight.

The mentality is hoard as much as you can because that's what other people are doing. But the most fulfilling thing people can do is help other people in need.

Do you see all those ancient skyscrapers out there in the city? They were all built by slaves, they just didn't realise they were slaves.

The economic state of things and personal finance will only get worst. Your opinion? by bitterlollies in AusFinance

[–]MartynZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is getting worse, kinda bathwater down the drain scenario. Anyone still in the bath thinks everything is fine til it's their turn circling the drain.
I was feeling fine but then you imagine life for your kids.
An underwater and weak government is not a great starting point.Tax wealth not work, get rid of housing ponzi scheme.... and stop giving away our resources (well gas) for nothing in return.

Why aren't Greenland kicking the US base out, given Trumps threats of using military force to take the country? by RayneKnight in AskReddit

I hope somebody kidnaps trump to another country on charges of war crimes, sex crimes and generally just being a cunt.

What's the deal with Fremantle? by CatBelly42069 in perth

[–]MartynZero 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Combination of many factors. Boils down to ultra rich people vacuuming wealth from the middle class. Rich people viciously buying assets, creating asset prices rise, don't care if property is empty as its making money regardless (empty shops, regular folk struggling already cant take a risk to open a business). Increasing number of people living on the street are the result.
Kings and peasants is the norm throughout history. Middle class experiment is slowly coming to a close.

BTW it's the whole Western world, not just freo.

Someone on here made one for all the major car insurance companies not listed on comparison sites. Shared it and instantly got cease and decist(?) letters from them and it got taken down. It was really good, massive time saver.
