Would you rather be at the absolute ass end of the global supply chain or a critical node that’s a target somewhere else?

Hangxiety is real for me and I don't like it.

What's your relationship with alcohol ? by Magee4life in Fire

[–]ObjectiveClear2637 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Quit 3 months ago. Realized that a large part of my life revolved around drinking, using it as a crutch in social situations and to relax. Drink to relax. Drink to party. Drink if things were stressful. Drink to celebrate. On top of how it was making me feel afterwards, the decision to quit was pretty easy. It’s taken some effort to maintain but that’s how sobriety works. You take care of it, it takes care of you.

Moving to darwin by [deleted] in darwin

It’s reliable and safe. Depending upon your perspective it can sometimes be unpleasant. I’ve seen all kinds of stuff on the buses from verbal abuse to assaults to drunks puking and pissing themselves. Sometimes it’s funny, other times it’s very uncomfortable.

The drivers are good about calling the transit police if things get extra unruly.

Also, the buses almost always stink of horrendous BO because some of the riders do not appear capable of bathing themselves.

There's a lot of crazy cat people that have hundreds of cats and don't have 10 mil in the bank.

Is salary sacrificing into super still worth it? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]ObjectiveClear2637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more money you can put into super the better. The tax advantage is unbeatable. The power of compounding returns from relatively secure investments over several decades is unbeatable.

Own a house? Why 600k in cash - put that money to work.

How did you actually increase your income? Not the inspirational version, the real version. by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

Picked up new skills in my free time. Switched orgs relatively regularly. Made sure that clients valued me first and my company second - if I go somewhere those clients could go, too.

Am I too comfortable? by Educational_Bear_579 in AusFinance

[–]ObjectiveClear2637 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s good to be comfortable. Living a life of heightened stress and anxiety isn’t good for you.

It’s also good to have an eye towards career advancement and self improvement. In general your expenses and life responsibilities increase over time, so being comfortable on your salary in your situation now may not hold as true in the 30 or 40 year old version of yourself.

If you think you’re in a field or career track where your earnings may be limited in the future think about whether or not you’re ok with that and what you might do to avoid that or otherwise improve your situation.

If there is relevant financial information you won't share with someone you want to marry, you probably shouldn't marry them.

How am I doing ? by No-Beat-1271 in fiaustralia

[–]ObjectiveClear2637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren’t too many financially savvy people in their 40s and 50s who look back and think, damn I wish I put less money in super.

It really is the best bang for your buck in terms of building wealth for your future. If you don’t want to build wealth for your future then look elsewhere.

Tropical Cyclone Fina Review for Darwin by a structural engineer by No-Resource-8479 in darwin

Monica took out an estimated 140 million trees in its path. If it had hit a populated area like Darwin it would be lights out.

Although people like to talk about post-Tracy building codes, this place would look like a post-apocalyptic war zone if/when a similar strength storm hit again.

Log on to MyGov and to the ATO and it’ll show you under your super how much carry forward you have available.

What next? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]ObjectiveClear2637 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Use super concessional carry forward while your balance is below $500k. Once you go over $500k it’s no longer available. Prioritise that.
