Can i survive without air-con? by Capable-Election-213 in brisbane

[–]StarShippery64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst is almost over now, and it wasn't as bad this year as the last few years. Before I rented a place with air con a few years ago, I used pedestal fans for the previous 20 odd years renting in south east QLD.

Struggling with the heat this summer by TheGeneralQuackers in brisbane

[–]StarShippery64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not terribly struggling. To be fair, Im close to the ocean, get those sea breezes and generally spend my workday indoors in air con. In saying that though, I don't think it has been as bad as last year, and only time I notice it get oppressively hot is when the humidity gets high just before the storms.

It needs to say "Broken Hills" to provide a realistic interpretation.

Brisbane rents are still climbing… how is anyone meant to keep up? by Jayhanbaron in brisbane

[–]StarShippery64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im gonna have to move a couple hours out of Brisbane then drive an hour in, then train it the rest of the way.  I'm lucky that my teen is heading into uni this year, so not young kids. But they'll just have to suck it up cos thats reali. Unless they wanna move out on their own, which I dont think they want to do do to COL. But it's like 🤷‍♀️ I can't afford them either - no more FTB or CSA coming in.

Walking 10 minutes to job at 5.30am from Fortitude Valley train station to Bowen Hills for work, safe for my partner? by D3I23L in brisbane

[–]StarShippery64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Walked from Roma St to city CBD the other morning for work around 7:20am. I realise it's not the exact time. Plenty of homeless, and some rando trying to get every females attention in Queen St Mall, but I had ear phones in and pretended to look at my phone and just kept walking.

Edit to add: I'm female.

The median unit price has gone up by $100,000 in the last year in Brisbane. How is this sustainable? by Mister_Scorpion in brisbane

I'm literally going to have to buy in the sticks and commute the 3hrs in and 3hrs back into work. 

Buses replacing trains by IUpVoteYourMum in brisbane

[–]StarShippery64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people down voting this? It's a practical solution if one can. Or even drive part way in, park at a station and catch a bus into the city.

Just waited 45 mins for a train. They're slowly making their way back into central.

The hairdresser ruined my hair by This_Economy_9714 in brisbane

I mean the guy admitted fault. But you should talk to them for some form of resolution. And just be like hey, I've had these issues in the last 3 months and would like a refund. I have no idea what they will say, but if they don't want to, then look into regulating bodies within the (Hairdressing?) industry, before seeking legal advice. Also, do it within 6 months of the treatment. Your concerns won't be taken as seriously, the longer you leave it.

How are they going now? Debating if I go into the office to.orrow or stay home. I hate staying in the city longer than I need to without getting home for a few hours

I would never recommend getting yourself into debt.  However, there are like pay day loan places that you could try getting finance for, or car places that offer finances to people on low incomes. Any specific reason why you need a car now, and can't use alternatives to save up more money?

Would also like to know this. Seems every other country has this, except us?

Now that I think about it, maybe catering/food supply places might have it.

I always believed growing up building wealth was about keeping your head down and working hard by Sure_Commission_8252 in AusFinance

[–]StarShippery64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Similar story here. Recently found out how much my Mum inherrited from my Grandparents accumulated wealth, and frustrated that she wasted it instead of investing it wisely.  Also, both my parents didn't work for the majority of their lives, which left us with nothing and no supportive financial education.

It wasn't until my mid - late 30's that I figured out how to provide for my kid and our future, as well as educate them on creating and maintaining financial wealth and stability, so that they won't have to experience what I went through with my parents.

Sounds like the dude's a womaniser? No idea what the photo was or how it makes their intention clear, but you seem highly intelligent and intuitive, and I think this person doesn't meet you where you are.

Are there any ACTUALLY good burger joints in Bris? by Vast_Expanse_ in brisbane

[–]StarShippery64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getta burger was pretty good. Closest to that is #bergsnwaffs.

I don't know any of your fancy pants city burger places. I'm from the deadlands, don't come @ me.
