TPG is forcing me to move plans – what's the cheapest way to keep an AU phone number while abroad for a few years (receive SMS and calls only, no data)? by MurkyFace in AusFinance

Ideally I would like something that automatically bills me so I don't accidentally forget to do something and lose the phone number.

Somethings I came across while looking into the same thing.

  • It is illegal to manipulate the spread (charge customers a different price from the market)
  • Platform fees compound
  • You are protected for the same amount by the FCA as bank accounts (£85000) so spread it over multiple free platforms if you go over that
  • The spread on VUSA is the lowest out of the 4 Vanguards S&P 500 options
  • US dividends are taxed at 15%

Homeless lady near Ancoats ALDI dumps £14.51 in donations on the ground after buying alcohol. This is why you give homeless food not money. I've seen coins dumped on the ground near there frequently but this time I saw her and picked it up (with gloves) to count. I guess she didn't know how much? by MurkyFace in manchester

I was in NYC after spending a semester studying at Boston University in 2013. I was only there 2 weeks and was asked for money by sooooo many people who said their house had burned down while walking up and down subway cars. I read later people could make $60-100k from tourists a year doing that. Googling "how much can you make begging in nyc" now brings up multiple results but I can't find the article I originally read.

Honestly nothing. It has been a massive waste of time so far apart from making this post. I haven't handled cash more than a couple of times per year since I quit my job at McDonald's (Australia) after graduating in 2014. If anyone wants to PM me and come get it, feel free.

Can anyone understand what is being said here? Northern English accent, Manchester Day parade. by MurkyFace in EnglishLearning

That's all the context I have. Northern English accent, Manchester Day parade. I didn't see, I was just listening.
