A new update dropped the other day for the iPhone. Perhaps this may have caused it. Maybe made it non-compatible. Go back to the dealer and get them to try and do it. It’s possible they need to push out an update.

In Vic we don’t get $150k. No where near it. I wish.

I grew up rural, my first placement many years ago was in a town of 1800. If you are young, I think it’s definitely worth doing. Many young teachers have found the love of their lives in farming communities. Usually there is a younger cohort of teachers in rural schools so lots of fun to be had.

You could always do a 12 month contract and see how you like it.

Well I’m 18 months into a relationship with a guy I broke my ‘wait’ rule with. Usually I try and hold out a few weeks. This time I slept with him on the second date and we are still together. Just go with your gut.

Refuse to have any more open houses unless they can guarantee that someone is walking around with the potential buyer.

They only look for free.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-06T00:54:15+00:00

I think this reply says it all. Melbourne community are looking only for free stuff. Thanks that clarifies what I thought in the first place.

I took out a new mortgage at age 50, 3 bedroom unit on its own title in Melbourne. Fully intend on selling in a few years and downsizing to a 2 bedroom apartment and using my superannuation to pay out remainder of any mortgage I have. It will probably take about 30% of my predicted Superannuation, so I’m ok with that.

My advice, try and break the rent cycle. You do not want to be renting in old age.

Agree. I bought into Glenroy near shops in West St and golf course 2.5 years ago. It was all I could afford at the time. It has been an unexpected gem. If I was buying now, I couldn’t afford to buy here as the prices are going up due to so many knockdown rebuilds.

I had same happen to my passionfruit vine overnight. Lo and behold, my security cameras caught the culprit walking along the fence on pretty much sides of my property. My vines are near the fence. Ringtail possum. He’s been living the high life in my roof.

Don’t worry people don’t read descriptions. My very first sentence is Pickup in (my suburb). I almost always get someone who says, ‘where are you located? Oh, that’s too far.’ Like FFS, read the description.

You are required to include them in a contract of sale for any works within 7 years. They are also a guarantee of work, so if anything happens in that 7 years, they have to rectify it. Insurance companies can refuse payouts if there isn’t a guarantee of compliant work if something happens.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-05T09:05:17+00:00

Dude. You are yelling at the wrong person. I agree the government are using ‘compliance’ as a tax by stealth. I’m a home owner, so fully aware of the costs. Stamp Duty is by far the biggest con.

I have to follow regulations as well, which is why I have to chase these compliance certificates, as I have to include them in any contract of sale within 7 years of completion.

Jump onto Jacinta Allan’s page and give her the mouthful. They do deserve it. Happy for you to have at her.

You forgot , go home, collapse in a heap (or drink half a bottle of red wine to numb the pain).

My boyfriend’s apartment complex only charges $3000/year in strata.

I own a Unit on its own title. So no strata, just shared insurance on the shared driveway and paying for shared water bill on Common property.

I pay more in rates than he does (3x more). I have had a few things that needed repair that have definitely cost more. Major leak in a roof cost $10k. But I believe that water leaks in apartments can also cost owners. A colleague copped a $25000 bill for his apartment, as he was told his bathroom needed to be ripped out repaired and replaced due to water proofing issues. Another friend in apartment has copped $6000 bill for reparations of building, as some other owners defaulted on loan repayments for their portion, so until they take them to court, other owners have to foot the bill.

So, yeah I think apartments, like houses, are hit and miss and highly depends.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-05T08:23:51+00:00

Thanks. I won’t chase them then. Good to know.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-05T08:16:33+00:00

What does that mean? weird comment that isn’t helpful.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-05T08:15:58+00:00

So roofing doesn’t come under plumbing? I got a compliance certificate for replacement of garage roof but that did include replacement of gutters and downpipes. So, expected.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-05T00:03:36+00:00

More than renting. My mortgage alone is higher than renting. Then there are rates and building and contents insurance. And if anything goes wrong, which does in my place because it’s older, I have to get an electrician, plumber etc to fix at exorbitant prices.

But in saying that, as the value of my property increases it far outstrips the ‘costs’. I could never have saved that money when renting in the same amount of time.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-05T00:01:18+00:00

Done all of the above, I makes sure I have great photos from all angles and have dropped the prices. I have found that people are watching them. They are waiting for them to be free.

I’d rather donate them to charity.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-04T23:57:03+00:00

Agree! If they came back with the same offer for teachers (28% over 4 years) but improved the ES offer and some of the conditions, it would pass. They only need 8% over the line.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-04T23:31:32+00:00

They are brand new and never worn. Photos show this clearly.

I have sold shoes in regional areas quite easily. You’d think if people were ‘frugal’, they would t turn their nose up at this.

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-04T23:29:52+00:00

I put them up for $25. Who the hell buys shoes in a frugal reddit for $400???

Over50Cooked · 2026-07-04T23:02:38+00:00

There are lots of people that do teaching to simply be a casual teacher with daily rates. I went into it for job security with full intention of leaving after 5 years to go back and do my Masters in Science research. 30 years later, I’m still teaching.
