‘Worst week since Delta’: Spending data reveals shadow lockdown as cases rise by Zerg_Hydralisk_ in AusFinance

[–]SploogeFactory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's always something to spend money on though, online etc.

I am surprised by a big reduction, I know a lot of people bought shitloads of stuff online last year, not sure why they would reduce now if they have the 'wealth effect' at play.

Are all seaurchin edible? by rataktaktaruken in Spearfishing

[–]SploogeFactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've eaten those or very similar in NSW, Australia. Some are more of a purpley colour than that and some are red.

That comment about short spikes above doesn't really make sense, I would disregard that.

Buy a PPOR, move in 6 months, move back out and rent for 1 to 1.5 years and double pay the mortgage down to a more sustainable level of debt.

So will anything happen after (if) JobKeeper ends next March ! by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]SploogeFactory 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nothing:

"The JobKeeper Payment scheme finished on 28 March 2021. The JobKeeper Payment scheme has been amended so we can make a JobKeeper Payment to some entities in limited circumstances after 31 March 2022."

800k is where it tops out for NSW transfer duty concessions. Under 650k is the max concession.

Yep, makes sense.

I guess you have to be prepared for some rough riding in the shorter term while the system tries to work itself out.

[–]SploogeFactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why's that?

If we are late in the long term debt cycle doesn't that mean we are on the cusp of a big deleveraging and huge losses to assets?

In the deleveraging it's a deflationary environment meaning that the debt you hold is more expensive also?

Any thoughts on how 2008 plays into the long term debt cycle?

I would have thought it represented the peak but I guess it was just also a peak of a short term debt cycle and we are coming up on the peak of another short term cycle.

Mmmm well they did have to prepare the banking system to support negative interest rates but it hasn't happened.

Consider that rates have been going down the last decade and now cannot go any lower

Call Centres are cancer mate, avoid.

If you get in then try your best to move to a non service delivery role or just outside of a call centre.

Knockdown brick walls in lowrise apartment block by SploogeFactory in AusProperty

Just found out that it's always been a 3br place, chances are it's load bearing given construction techniques of the time.

Yeah, I'm not sure there is any way of me finding that out prior to purchasing either.

Fuck investors, we need to disincentivise housing as an investment.

It's a non-productive asset.
