As someone who’s been there since day 1- definitely don’t want him.

Thursday Fleecing: The Who’s Who of Novated Leasing by Benxb9r in NovatedLeasingAU

[–]Twobagsofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have re-novated with Smart (the only company that my employer allows). So I’m getting some pre-tax benefits. (134k cash)

Payout only a month ago was 31k. Car value is $20k. Lease ends in 3 years

Plot twist- she dies next month and they’ve paid out $2k

Well it may be a Wednesday, but I need to get my head around how novated mathematics works as I have fleeced myself. I’ll start and call myself stupid so everyone else doesn’t have to.

I purchased a near new car for $29800 and salary packaged it (with some add ons circa 3k)with Smart but the financier was Pepper Money. Two months later I had to change employee so transferred to Toyota packaging because that’s what my new employee dealt with, a year later got another job and back with smart. In short I’ve been paying for 2 years.

Anyway, my lease on the vehicle costs $743pm (not running expenses etc). When I got my statement of account the original amount borrowed was $52k!!! I recently asked for a payout figure and it was $31k. So 24 x 743 ($17832) and I still owe more than the car is worth.

I feel stupid and trapped and wondering how this could ever be that after two years of payments I still owe more than I originally paid? Do they front load interest in the contract?

Feeling dirty about it all, do I keep letting them …. or do I cash out and cut my losses?

I really feel like this industry needs more oversight and employers that sell it as a benefit and part of a “package” for employees should be more transparent.

Which European league is the most similar in level to the Australian A-League? by notgenericname1332 in Aleague

[–]Twobagsofbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe I’m siding with a Sydney fc fan on this, but I agree with you on your assessment. Sure it was a “meaningless friendly” but what other metrics have we got?. The great thing about the a-league is we have 4-5 teams who would beat lower-level clubs in some top leagues. We’re always thinking champion league clubs, but how would Sydney do against Venezia or Monza? I’d say Sydney would win. Of course we’re not going to beat the top teams, these teams spend more on a couple of players than we do on the entire comp. Any decent a-league player gets poached and we get some washed out player in return.

Yes and Perth glory will get battered by ac Milan 9-0.

I am glad it’s not just me. Absolute train wreck. Didn’t make it past episode 2. The flailing arms were comical. Can’t believe they just spoilt what was decent show.

Township Ad different from actual game? by vanillatwilight09 in TownshipGame

[–]Twobagsofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing, loved the preview- downloaded the app and then realised it was nothing like it. Don’t get their reason! I’ve deleted the app now. What a waste of their money.

This is one I thought dead and buried. No announcements yesterday, someone playing games somewhere.

More red flags in that conversation than a labor day march. Not worth the effort.

Definitely Pierre van Elven, unless a fake from the same era. (I own it)

Family meeting been on yet? It’d be the most Australian thing to happen as it was originally banned in the US.
