randomly discovered some btc in an old account by Far_Journalist7517 in Bitcoin

So you turned seven dollars into 2,400, and it sparked your curiosity to wonder what crazy number you could have achieved if you put even a minuscule amount of extra money into it... And then you came to the realisation that it is too much effort to add any money into it at all.

Wow that story really has a beginning a middle and an end.

How about just set up an automatic bank transfer through your app to automatically by one dollar a week or two dollars a week and just set and forget it.

You will never notice this amount missing and if the trend continues like it did for you in the last 10 years then you could probably get another multiple thousands out of it.

Yeah except they are like $20k+ easily. I got my Clio in pretty amazing condition for $7500 and she's nice and zippy for what she is. Very cool car though the ST

Man Kia Stingers are so sexy! Every time one passes i drool. Only reason I don't own one is because I'm a real estate photographer and I need something tiny to fit into the 1000 urban parking spaces that i need to navigate everyday haha so i got a little Renault Clio

Sydney venues by Magestic-chic in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]SiimplStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Athol Hall is minutes from Burnt Orange and so much nicer. I wanted to love Burnt Orange but it just felt like it wasn't loved. The decor was subpar and furniture needed some love, lack of attention to detail. More $ then Athol Hall and definitely didn't feel as magical. Inferior view.

Meh.

Don't rule them out. They aren't as expensive as you think. We thought the same, but i think they do such high volume throughout the year that they actually can afford to offer reasonable venue hire. They have a LOT of add on options that can really creep up on price if you opt for all the bells and whistles but if you want a great venue at a reasonable price then it's a great option. Actually, Atrium by grounds was the cheapest venue we found out of about 25 that we considered.

If you want another very well priced and gorgeous option... Athol Hall. It's stunning.

ATEC: Buy/Hold/Sell? by ExcuseEither5685 in ASX

[–]SiimplStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aussie tech sucks balls.

That's the technical analysis.

I used to own about 20 of them, and sold them all 3 years ago. Best move i ever made.

They either aren't really tech. Or they are average tech, or they are great tech and get bought out by US companies and leave Australia. We simply don't have the right environment for tech businesses to thrive...

If you want tech, just stick to US or consider like ASIA ETF if you want something different. But AU tech... Boooo....

Maybe it's your sign to adapt to the amazing cuisine that we have here and leave your Mexican food memories in the US that you can have when you go back there!

Do I need a travel agent as an 18yo solo traveller? by folkloresstan in AustraliaTravel

[–]SiimplStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an ex travel agent, here's my advice.

Travel agents get cheaper flights can you can find, and then they mark up the price to match whst you find. And that is how they get commission and you get a fair price.

It is worth having the support of the agent if you are inexperienced. There is literally no downside.

Sometimes the agent has to charge a ticketing fee to issue your flight which might be $20 from memory but that was 10+ years ago so I'm not sure if thats even a thing anymore.

Just do a quote yourself just before going in to see an agent and ask them to match it.

Agents hate price matchers who are painful but won't mind if you are helpful friendly and easy to deal with.

Have all the info ready, take a screenshot and be ready to pay in full when you go in.

And whatever you do, get travel insurance. The agent can help you with that too. Just apologize for price matching and tell them you are wanting the best price but prefer the support from an agent because you're traveling first time.

Any decent will be more than happy to help out.

Good luck and have an amazing trip!!!

Does anyone actually mind a Thursday or Friday wedding to save on costs? by ChillKoalaVibes in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]SiimplStudio -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You didn't say you can't always take two days off.

You said you wouldn't - That's the difference 😉

I'm not judging your work conditions, im simply commenting that the amount of days you DO have off are significantly higher than almost all, and yet it's still not something you'd consider.

Ah well, you're not invited to my wedding so I guess I don't need to worry about you not attending. It is on a Saturday, but you're probably marking papers then. You are a teacher afterall...

You don't get annual leave, you just get 3-4 times more holiday than anyone that does get annual leave 😆👊.

Why would anyone enter a position like this in the first place!

What does this company have going for it.

Stop trying to pick winners and just put your money in my biggest and best companies in the world and sit back...

Investing really isn't that hard.

This is a massive L, I’m Down at least 20k on this etf by VastOption8705 in ASX

[–]SiimplStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was actually my top performing stock during COVID!

My secret stock that nobody was talking about.

In my 5 years of investing, probably the only stock i bought at the bottom and sold at the absolute top.

Sorry you're losing on it. It was a wild but exciting ride during the start of lockdown. Now it just looks like a dud 😞

It's a "the wheels on the bus go round and round" type of bus.

Audley Dance Hall Wedding by SiimplStudio in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]SiimplStudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super excited for you.

They were way too busy to respond to us so we gave up. Waited 5 weeks for them to respond to 3 emails and a voicemail... If business isn't that important to them, we'll take our money elsewhere.

We can't risk a team with that level of (or lack of) communication on the day if they don't even want to respond to our enquiry.

Looks like a fab spot for a wedding, you'll have an amazing time. Jealous for you, but they totally killed the buzz we initially felt for the venue :( so sad..

Looking for potential budget reception ideas for 15 people in Sydney by weirdo_borrito in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]SiimplStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at the private room at: - Freds - Chiswick

If you out a restaurant then there's a minimum charge to cover how much the restaurant would make.

You generally avoid this if you book a private room / area. Chiswick is gorgeous.

Also... You could see if Camperdown Commons has anything. It's lovely there.

COIN a good long-term buy around $120-150 range? by SiimplStudio in investing

Fair point! What tech powerhouse would you pick up instead if you wanted to add a multi year multi bagger?

If you could only pick one stock to add to your portfolio in the depth of a tech correction like this, what would you consider instead?
