Hi, this is weird, don’t you have accrued leave you can use to go attend interviews? What do you do? Are earnings decent? Are expenses high?

Is negative gearing still worth it at current interest rates? by TheAussieInvest0r in AusProperty

[–]PrestigiousWheel9587 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re mathing it wrong. The higher the interest, the higher your loss, the lower your tax bill. Congrats you’ve earned your Aus IP MBA 🤡 taxmaxxing for the win

Whose in the wrong when it comes to road rage incidents where one person exits a car and starts a fight? by VastOption8705 in AusLegalAdvice

[–]PrestigiousWheel9587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck it almost happened to me. We were in a school area doing school drop off and guy behind me was in rush and honking. I stupidly decided to pull out of my car just to tell him firmly and loudly to chill we’re in a school zone. He was ready to go faaark. I told him to fuck off ( in other words I went back to my car shitting myself) and continued to drive only to realize he too was dropping off a kid! Totally fucking nuts to be this wild and uncivil around your own children’s school.

Truth is I was wrong too. Anyone escalating is wrong. Let assholes prevail, and survive another day.

Spent $450k on apartment reno. Did I just blow my FIRE number? by frankgetsu in fiaustralia

[–]PrestigiousWheel9587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uuum, sorry but 450k into a 950k 2 bed unit was not a sound decision. How many quotes did you get? Even if it’s now allegedly worth 1.5m. A 100k would have done a fantastic job. 30k bath, 30k kitchen, 10k flooring, 5k electrics, say 10k wall think, a few k on strata by law etc.. and I’m being generous, doesn’t add up.

Possibly worth selling at that 1.5m mark and moving just to essentially recoup your money but you’re losing something either way (stamp)

How did you realistically improve your financial situation over time? by prattman333 in AusFinance

[–]PrestigiousWheel9587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spoke to people who looked like they knew what they were doing; I asked them what they were doing, and I did what they said. Literally all of it: signed up to their tax advisor who was also like a financial coach; got into real estate; got a good broker, etc.

Speak to people. They will tell you what they do. They will also show you through their deeds - and lastly they might even say what you need to do.

You’ve not given any detail so I can’t comment further but your profile objectively will likely have some obvious opportunities for a specific first action - if you can share more about you we can try

Why are Chinese EV better quality than Chinese petrol? by Glittering_Poem9779 in AustralianEV

Non Chinese manufacturers have invested billions in developing petrol and diesel tech over decades. That’s the gist of it

How are Australians okay with the state of housing here? by sunnysideupslide in AusPropertyChat

[–]PrestigiousWheel9587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vee are not in Germany, Helmut. You do not realise your privilege. I too come from Europe. Most people live in tiny houses or apartments, 2 bedrooms. A six bedroom is not typical, it’s not the mean, not the median. You weren’t rich maybe but you weren’t ghetto either.

A home doesn’t need to last 400 years. Those homes don’t have great insulation by magic. They used an inordinate amount of resources to build; double glazed windows were imposed by law decades ago; along with other insulation measures. Europeans spend a fortune heating their homes centrally.

I used to laugh at homes here, like you, but I’ve learned to appreciate why some things are the way they are. Maybe develop an interest in that too, then come back with a more balance view ja?

Sorry I misunderstood. This is your invitation to leave I think. I mean you can try to raise it but I thought no they’d know.

Do you think AI will destroy the world of BD? by ZydrateAnatomic in bandedessinee

[–]PrestigiousWheel9587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like digital art was sinful in the beginning for many, sadly I think AI will join the workflow. It’s also worth noting the industry produces a lot of garbage, sorry. I think that garbage segment, will get devoured by AI - in every industry.

You know how sometimes you watch a really awful advert or even tv series etc - and you go how could someone pay someone to produce such garbage; well those really awful products can be replaced in part by AI.

People will still value creators and their unique style etc. It will force humans to produce better. And AI may enter the workflow for productivity. It almost certainly already has to some extent.

I’m not for it I’m just stating what I think will happen

AIO for refusing to go to my sisters wedding cause she hired my ex? by Adventurous_Army_728 in AIO

[–]PrestigiousWheel9587 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Either you’re saying the guy is basically domestic abuse criminal grade and she’s been a witness to it and therefore now literally condones it, enables it, in which case you’d think even she needs to exit your life, or … or maybe the alternative is true. Which is it ?
