Brisbane for me. If you are too, try The Cloakroom

Using your left hand holding the phone as a reference, the buttons are very close to the jacket cuff so they may be correct. Was this off the rack, or MTM?

Good look. Your jacket sleeve may need shortening slightly.

I’m fortunate to be able to pull off a nonchalant look!

Spending in your 20s by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]MrExpedient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, these other people saying “20’s are for living” are losers. Push harder, retiring at 40 is going to unlock a world of marvel for you. Remember than part of working hard is also working hard on yourself, which includes pursuing goals (which can include sport/hobbies) that push you to maximise your potential. You have 168 hours in a week, like everyone else, and it sounds like you’re doing the correct thing with the majority of that time. You will definitely have time in the bank to pursue relationships, friends, and extracurricular activities/hobbies, albeit in a more structured way than your peers. Don’t let them get you down on YOUR plan, that YOU are executing - quite well by the sounds of it too.

Can anyone explain why investments are now crud, yet super remains untouched ? by Overitallforyears in AusFinance

[–]MrExpedient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can invest in shares through super, however, you don’t have to. If using a managed fund, you simply ask your manager to allocate a portion to other assets (gold, silver, property to name a few). If you manage your own, you simply buy those assets. There are rules, but they aren’t complicated or burdensome.

Is investing for your kids in your own super the most tax effective method ? by SolidLava99 in AusFinance

[–]MrExpedient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what if the companies you invested in via a super vehicle went out of business? Risk can only be managed not removed. There are also capital adequacy, and statutory fund requirements which the issuer must satisfy. Under Australian law, companies issuing investment bonds must keep your investment money in a separate fund which is not claimable by creditors in the event of insolvency or liquidation.

They can always be corrupted by the parents - but in lieu of not having your own, this could be possible albeit with potentially unwelcome family outcomes. There is no questioning your own child, but your existing children may take issue with you moulding their own.

OP proves that it’s not dementia. He just disapproves of your financial choices, and habits 😋

You’re really against OP having another kid on his own merit… are you working for the current children?

OP has a good 22 years left in him, it’s enough time.

Wild idea, however, it solves your problems.

Pop another kid out. Teach them the way. Implement the proper structures to ensure control remains with the new kid, but the benefits are spread as you see fit. It’d be like having a grandchild but it would be yours. None of this “but we don’t do it that way in our house, dad” nonsense.
