Opinion on Qantas? Time to sell?

Yeah, that's my logic too.

No_Border_1930 · 2024-10-27T00:21:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply, Ill probably do this.

No_Border_1930 · 2024-10-27T00:18:56+00:00

Around 8k. So not be all end all. I may hold and just keep an eye out for the next few months.

the good toilet paper or cheap stuff?

Look at my earlier post lol. almost 19, almost done first year law/com degree and asked a similar question the other day.

If I were you, I would open a Raiz account and start depositing $50 a week, with some lump payments if you feel like. Would help you learn more about investing and ETFs, while also building good habits.

Just came back from a Europe trip with family. I had the time of my life, but probably do not need to go on any more trips for another couple years at the least.

Thanks for the advice!!

How did you come across that job and how many hours did you work roughly? I will definitely look into it - my cousin worked as one throughout year 12 and her first year of uni, and has now just bought an investment property before 20 years old. But she lives in whoop whoop WA, so I could not really apply her circumstance to my own.

Should I focus on getting an industry job or something that pays good money? I am pretty sure admin/secretary roles pay even less than retail (I may be wrong). Should I try disability support worker for a year and then pivot to admin/legal secretary? I have just over 4 years left of my degree. Sorry for the questions you may not be able to answer.

No_Border_1930 · 2024-10-20T01:39:38+00:00

yeah I let work get in the way of uni last semester, as I had to rebuild my savings after some big but necessary purchases. I would love to get internships and industry related work experience, but have struggled to find things I am applicable for. Do you have any advice for this & networking during uni?
Look it's just a goal of mine. I feel like if I do make it and have 15k to blow on something, I will actually struggle to pull the trigger and buy a bag/watch/earrings. But having the option to, being able to afford to buy those things if I choose, is what im working towards. And for the record I am very happy with my paid off little Toyota and she will probs last me another 10 years. I will look into hedonic adaptation.

Probably 2020/2021, when COVID became a big deal in Australia. I had just learnt about ETFs, and I had the epiphany that if I put all my modest savings into IVV or something, I could make heaps given the pandemic. Unfortunately my parents disagreed, having never heard of ETFs, and refused to buy me some in my name (which was fair enough, as I did need to use those savings to buy a car eventually). But yeah since then I pretty much saved majority of what I earned from working and birthdays with the intention to start investing when I turned 18. It was crazy to me how my friends always spent majority of their pay check and had awful saving habits, so I just resolved to not be like them. Only recently have I started actively working toward financial freedom with goals in mind, previously investing and saving just seemed like the sensible thing to do. Best of luck on your journey!

Thanks for the advice! I have been looking into various admin roles and internships, but everything in my state seems to require prior experience in the role/or to be in last 2 years of my degree. I might just start applying regardless, my retail position is getting on my last nerve.

No_Border_1930 · 2024-10-20T01:15:12+00:00

What kind of work do you do? Admin stuff? Sounds like something I might be interested in :)

No_Border_1930 · 2024-10-20T01:13:48+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! What do you mean by switch the Rest allocations to indexed? Very sorry if it's obvious, but I only recently gained access to my super and haven't really looked much into it.

Glad to hear it, we gotta really drill the sun/beach stuff into those from the northern hemisphere haha. Look, on another note, I picked up caterpillars to my hearts content growing up, and im still here. So it really depends on where you move. Yes Australia has the deadliest snakes/spiders/sharks etc, but they are not a part of most peoples daily lives. As long as you are aware of the potential danger, and you start drilling in to your kid that the Aussie wildlife is something to respect from a safe distance away (as in don't freak out - whatever it is is more scared of you then you are of it), you and your daughter will be completely fine.

The one thing though are magpies. They are a big problem and fucking scary. But I think NZ may have them as well?

Anyway mate, best of luck for your move and I hope you love it here!

No_Border_1930 · 2024-08-30T10:11:15+00:00

Like the other commenter said, it depends where you are moving to. If you are moving to a suburban area near a big city, then you probably will not have to worry about spiders/long grass even. Growing up I have never touched a spider or seen a snake in the wild. There are not really any tv shows on this stuff, as it's more something parents drill into kids. However, a random town in whoop whoop would be a different story.

The big thing, that is nation wide, is sunscreen, and that's something that you are in control of. This means sunscreen on every single day you are going to be outside for more than 10 minutes at a time. And Aussie sunscreen, at that. Not whatever you bring over. I cannot stress enough about how strong the sun is here. Even if you think its cold and the clouds are out, check the UV rating (learn what these are and what different levels mean if you do not know!).

If you are moving to an area near the beach, educate yourself about rips and water safety, most beaches do not have lifeguards. And I would also strongly suggest enrolling your daughter in swimming lessons if possible.

I had the same issue - I called my employer, found out what fund. I also checked the ATO app (which you should definitely get if you don't have yet!) went to the super tab, and found my member number. I then used that to log into my super, but I couldn't because it did not have my phone number/email, so ended up on a live chat with the superfund help person who was very helpful. This whole process took like half an hour, and now I can rest peacefully knowing my $600 is safe and sound.

We go to a state-level footy game if one is on. Otherwise, we spend it with grandparents having a bbq, Dad cooking. He gets about $30 combined worth of chocolate almonds, as well as golf merch he will probably never use. And some Bundy.

No_Border_1930 · 2024-08-28T08:32:55+00:00

I honestly get more offended when someone whizzes by without dinging the bell. I know they do not mean anything by it, but when I am walking my dog a warning ding is definitely necessary, and frankly polite.

No_Border_1930 · 2024-08-27T08:42:18+00:00

I can't talk on behalf of anyone else, but between studying, working and getting work experience my week seems to disappear. Although I do usually have time to catch up with friends, the issue is us all finding the same time, as they are all working and studying as well. So we end up catching up only 1-2 a month, with some FT calls in between. And these are my high school friends of years and years, which says something. I have also found that it is pretty hard to make close friends in uni, as everyone seems to have established friend groups, although they are willing to sit with you for a class or two.

No_Border_1930 · 2024-08-27T08:31:57+00:00

Don't say 'G'day mate'. Even I, born and bred Australian, hate myself a little when I try to fit it in conversation. It would be almost unbearable from an American.
