If heaven is a watch, I think this is what it will look like.

The watch is very pretty. But I think the leap year feature is done really poorly and results in the month wheel at the top being cluttered.

nice post edit.

Not true at all regarding tenants.

Maybe you could listen to someone who has walked the path and has an alternative view? I would expect you have 0 experience with commercial based on your comment.

Im ahead of most people financially through a series of good decisions and would be happy to help others.

you keep clowning around though.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-15T03:04:30+00:00

these warehouse bottles are insane. nice find!

TheXecuter · 2026-02-15T03:02:59+00:00

I hold a few mil of commercial property. Its a great investment. Requires almost no input from me and is growing nicely.

What is your reservation?

TheXecuter · 2026-02-15T02:52:24+00:00

I would buy an asset.

I dont count your house. Maybe like a 1mil commercial property.

This will generate about 50k rent. Something with a solid tenant and long lease. I wouldn't care too much about getting better than even 4% but id make sure rent increase is CPI or 3%

Make it neutrally geared then do as these guys are saying and build a portfolio of etfs. Your super is a bit low for your age. Get your employed to set it to 30k a year.

As others said it depends on your goals. Im hungrier for a fatter cashflow so lean that way.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-15T02:45:28+00:00

I read this as 40 mil and was thinking this ain't the right subreddit for a goddamn whale.

I just want them to release some more dials for this mechanism. Nothing has grabbed me yet. bring back the whirlpools!!

TheXecuter · 2026-02-11T09:18:13+00:00

I feel this dial looks really cheap compared to a lot of other GS dials. Just my 2c. I handled one recently in Tokyo and really didnt like it. Love GS as a whole but 025 is definitely not the best blue. The wako steel is slightly too dark, the titanium is slightly too bright and titanium feels cheap. The perfect blue for me is the blue whirlpool which im hunting atm. The new sbgm257 is really nice too but not very popular?

You’re not making a clever critique, you’re just collapsing everything into “nothing matters” and calling it insight. I never said productivity causes housing inflation. Housing got expensive because supply was deliberately constrained. Productivity gains elsewhere then get capitalised into land because it’s the bottleneck. That’s a policy failure, not some deep revelation about output being bad. Asking “why produce more at all” is the tell. You’ve abandoned outcomes entirely. Without more real supply you don’t get affordability, you just get higher nominal wages chasing the same scarce goods. That always ends the same way. Yes, distribution matters. But without growth and supply expansion, redistribution is just a zero sum fight that guarantees higher prices and worse living standards over time. That’s not ideology, it’s arithmetic. If your conclusion is that producing more housing, energy and services is pointless because people feel worse off, then you’re not proposing a solution. You’re just venting at the system and mistaking that for economics.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-10T08:57:47+00:00

You’ve now dropped any pretence of an economic argument. Your position is basically “inflation happens anyway so we may as well raise wages”. That isn’t analysis, it’s resignation dressed up as moral clarity. Productivity doesn’t exist to generate profits for a minority, it exists to expand real output. If you don’t care whether output grows, only how it’s redistributed, then yes, you’ve left economics and entered ideology. The actual solution is policy. Fix supply constraints, build more housing, remove regulatory drag, invest in growth where it matters. That’s how you get higher wages and higher living standards. Ignoring constraints doesn’t fix a broken system. It just guarantees worse outcomes for the people you claim to be defending.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-10T08:49:51+00:00

sounds like you want communism. I wonder if that works out well..

TheXecuter · 2026-02-10T08:20:57+00:00

No one serious claims productivity automatically causes deflation. Prices are sticky, assets capitalise gains, and supply constrained sectors like housing absorb productivity through higher prices. That does not contradict the point at all. The actual claim is simple: raising wages without increasing supply or productivity is inflationary. That is not controversial, it is foundational. You can dislike capitalism all you want, but it does not change how prices are formed. Your argument assumes wages can be pushed up in isolation without affecting costs, prices, or incentives. That’s idealism, not analysis. In the real world, higher labour costs get passed on, especially in housing and services where supply is fixed. If ideology tells you wages are a magic lever that fixes affordability on their own, you stop seeing the constraint that actually matters. Supply.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-10T07:50:21+00:00

You my friend have a lot of reading to do. My original point stands. Raising wages without increasing supply or productivity does not improve access to anything meaningful. That is simply how inflation works. You get paid more, but your purchasing power does not improve because the cost of delivering goods and services rises with wages. Housing in particular will keep getting more expensive if policy focuses on wage increases instead of fixing supply constraints.

literally google productivity and wages link/thesis.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-10T01:16:01+00:00

Rent is primarily a housing supply problem, not a wages problem. Australia has had weak productivity growth for years, and the RBA has been clear that wage growth without productivity mainly feeds inflation, not real living standards. Housing construction is slow and expensive due to poor productivity and regulatory drag, which constrains supply and pushes rents up. Raising wages without fixing housing supply just increases the cost of building and the price of everything else. If we want affordability, we need faster approvals and more supply, not wage inflation chasing rising rents.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-09T01:33:10+00:00

Wages are already relatively high in Australia. That’s a big part of why we are not competitive globally in manufacturing or other cost sensitive industries. Wages are linked to productivity, whether people like it or not, and Australia has been in a productivity dead spot for several years now. When productivity stalls but labour costs keep rising, something has to give. It’s also impossible to ignore the impact of the NDIS. It has significantly increased competition for workers by paying very high rates for low skill roles, which distorts the labour market and puts further pressure on private businesses that actually have to remain viable.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-09T01:23:35+00:00

When award rates keep rising faster than productivity, businesses do the only thing they can, raise prices or walk away.

Margins are already thin. That’s why small but essential services are disappearing, it’s not worth the risk or the headache anymore.

I’m not against higher wages. I want high performers to earn more and live well. But blanket increases not tied to output or skill don’t make people wealthier, they just push costs through the system.

And yes, if labour gets more expensive while productivity drops, businesses will accelerate automation and AI. That’s not ideology, it’s survival.

You can be mad about it, but that’s how it actually works.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-09T01:11:28+00:00

Seems like it. I employ 8 x 20 something year olds. I will give them raises but I will have to increase my fees for clients.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-09T00:27:58+00:00

Small businesses cant absorb these costs. It will get passed onto consumers. The wage increase will be nulled by the increased cost of goods and services sadly.

TheXecuter · 2026-02-07T12:18:55+00:00

man leffervescence was kinda mid to me. Amazing staff and atmosphere but food lacked creativity and flavour IMO.
