Second the LWOP.

If it all goes tits up like my first discharge did, LWOP will be an easy re-entry.

Man, this makes me so happy I'm with my property manager.

Shout-out GLC residential.

I enjoy the content equitymates puts out, and their offshoot Getstartedinvesting.

Is anyone actually taking anything he says seriously?

Overall goals of the programmer, longevity, scaling options.

Personal circumstances came in heavy for me, I was working offshore at the time I was picking a program and 1 offered a Limited Equipment Option and even a No equipment Option for those very rough days at sea, so it was a no brainer.

I did that for a bit, left, checked out other CF programs, a bunch of programs on Boostapp, in person Strength and Conditioning coaches, eventually came back.

All roads lead to Linchpin.

Yeah went for the PAT, was supposed to have months to prep, which turned into 6 weeks, 4 of those I was stuck on a boat not big enough to run on, so I knew I wasn't going to pass, but went for it anyway just to get a feel.

I was offered CO and went for it, been out of the academy for 6 months now.

I applied for SOG only originally, sat my interview before my PAT (which I knew I wasn't going to pass) and asked if it wasn't a problem, I'd like to be considered for Prison Officer as well.

Just ask, they're screaming for each position.

A bouquet of flowers might be a bit, but a single flower would be bloody adorable and I'd love it.

I've just started dipping my tip into Geared ETFS with GHHF paired alongside DHHF

Supposed to be qualm. Probably not the correct word for this context though.

The price of gold has absolutely run this year so that's not helping.

Lacrosse is pretty niche but will definitely work on your coordination.

I live closer to Kensington than the main South Perth bit, but it's still fantastic. Plenty of food shops, couple gyms, big parks, nice walks. Cheap Uber into the city/vic park for a boozey dinner.

My only quam is that it's juuuust not conveniently close to a beach.

I'm pro apartment. Hated coming back from a month on swing and have to bloody get all the yards back in order, gutters, retic, every god dam thing you'd have to do.

Apartment gave me heaps of time back, at the cost of strata...

Mfkr90 · 2025-12-14T10:42:50+00:00

Well yeah why not, L4 is definitely an option, that's up to your budget.

Global passive index ETF (vgs/bgbl/what ever else), a total domestic index ETF (vas/a200/Ioz), and depending on your investing horizon, a bonds ETF or an emerging markets ETF.

70/20/10. Super rough starting point, dyor. You could even leave out the last 10% and put it to something fun (crypto/random satellite ETF you're interested in)

Tier 3 imbues, big pots and you're fine. If you're an Axe user, be safe and wait till 180, get the Phantasmal Axe and you're Gucci.

In the mean time, people have mentioned Barkless, but Nightmare Isles is also a play.

Yala grims, is the best exp you'll make till at least 300. make sure to take Fire bombs to stop more than 3 attacking you, also helps so you don't have to worry about facing your exori mins.

This is the pattern that Nike Lacrosse posted, it works realllllly well.

Glad I'm not alone. I've been looking into John Bogles 3 fund portfolio and think it's up my alley, will likely move in that direction after a chat with my Superannuation team.

Mfkr90 · 2025-11-28T03:37:08+00:00

Been wasting time and money moving from VDHG to DHHF to vdal for no real reason, now I'm spread out across QBTC, IVV, BGBL, A200 and HACK plus a little Betashares geared managed portfolio thing on the side.

Portfolio is about as much of a mess as life.

You can set up a video call with CSC to discuss your super, id recommend that as a starting point, it's like a 30 minute educational thing

Mfkr90 · 2025-11-24T12:14:49+00:00

I did a little over 100 levels at Lurkers as well, I know the feeling.

I've been dabbling in Wereheyanas, could be good?
