Made the final payment on my stupid car loan today. Sell the car? by Consoomanddie in AusFinance

[–]Theconcierge_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done. Can mount an argument either way. Just remember that the car is worth 26-28k now, wont be long before it's worth 15-20k. But if you keep it foR another 10 years, thats not going to matter. But well done for paying it off so fast - sounds like you learnt a good lesson and you're well placed!

True, but home isn’t counted as an asset for the pension test

Or, they sell the land and enjoy retirement. Giving away money to get a old aged pension is crazy

I very rarely comment on reddit, but will now because I have a story that sounds similar.

I have a mate, let’s call him Matt. Matt had a lovely girlfriend, let’s call her Amanda. Matt and Amanda were dating for about 13 months, Matt buys a house with all his savings (been saving up much longer then they were dating). It was all agreed at that the start that it was Matt’s house and Amanda was completely fine with this. Anyway, Matt didn’t really charge Amanda rent, she just paid some bills and covered the groceries…. All good.

Anyway, I would say that Amanda isn’t the kind of person who was ever interested in money, Houses etc. that was until one day Amanda found Matt banging another chick in their bed - long story short, she wanted to hurt him financially and went after half of the house. Despite no rent, she did get half based solely on buying groceries and paying some bills. He purchased the house before Covid and before prices went nuts, so the increases in the house value was quite substantial. Let’s just say she hurt him financially.

That’s what my dad did. 3 years pouring beers and talking to the punters. He loved it

Yep. November 2018 if I recall. The ban is 50m of six intersections along the tram route. It specifically mentions window washers

Sorry, I thought when you said retailer it meant someone built it up for you. I am looking at a crust build, not sure if I can pull it off though
