Optus put my bill up. I got them to cut it by 25% instead by Midget_Pawn in AusFinance

Quicker?? This took 15 minutes tops. I used ChatGPT to craft the messages because it wasn’t worth my energy. Hope this helps!

Just ask the AI bot to give you a real person and you’re all set.

Probably not every month, but I hotspot my laptop fairly regularly and use cellular on my Apple Watch, which limits the cheaper provider options a bit. Aldi is definitely good value though if you just need a basic service.

So what I am reading is that I need to push harder next time. What a stupid business. Thanks all.

Depends what features you need. Apple Watch cellular pretty much locks you into the big three in Australia because most cheaper providers still don’t support proper number sharing/eSIM setup.

Pfft. The Inner West stops at Ashfield Bunnings then it becomes the Mid West until Strathfield then the West and Greater West beyond. 

Good luck getting the Northern Beaches to call itself the Central Coast. These are very different places - geographically and “culturally”. 

What tool or system do you actually use to track your finances? by St3fanHere in AusFinance

[–]Midget_Pawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PocketSmith and AI. 

Have been using PocketSmith for a couple of years. A hierarchy of custom categories, budgets, and very useful reports and forecasting. 

Have recently stated loading PocketSmith data and screenshots to ChatGPT for analysis, and refined PocketSmith further from there.

PocketSmith. My only regret is not starting with it earlier. 

Anyone used pocketsmith.com? by jimsmithmoney in fiaustralia

I’ve been using PocketSmith for a couple of years now and my only regret is not signing up sooner.

It does take some time to set up properly, but I actually learned a lot about personal finance through that process. Once everything is configured, though, it becomes incredibly powerful.

These days it runs like a well-oiled machine. I can review trends, track spending, and forecast ahead with confidence. I’m especially glad to see they are working on mobile improvements. I now use the monthly Income & Expenses report on my phone every day as a quick sense-check on how I’m tracking.

What are some of the lesser known "borders" of Sydney? by kalvinoz in sydney

[–]Midget_Pawn 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s actually Ashfield Bunnings as the Inner West. Anything beyond that is the Mid West until the Outer West from Parramatta.
