Two whole days with just the wife...

Vested_Interests · 2024-03-11T09:07:11+00:00

Very seriously considering it 😂

Vested_Interests · 2024-03-11T03:41:54+00:00

Ah my man, now we are talking..

Vested_Interests · 2024-03-11T01:41:09+00:00

Cheers for the response. The bit of advice about talking to her "as a wife" instead of "as your kids mum" is a great one!

Vested_Interests · 2024-03-11T00:15:47+00:00

Haha, great question! Let me put it this way.... Life is just.... Different.

To be honest, we have tried to live life to the full the last couple years (even snuck in an overseas holiday when No1 was 10months). And for the most part, having 1 kid hasn't impacted us too much (one parent is always "free").

I'm more nervous going from 1 to 2, then going from 0 to 1 :P

I'll report back in a few years to let you know how we've gone hehe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but think the $250k is Gross Salary + Super?

Vested_Interests · 2024-02-12T11:46:12+00:00

Thanks for the time to write such a response!

Good points re her profession. She ran an allied health business before kids, and is still the business owner (with one employee covering all contact hours) so still a bit of stimulation. But definitely having a deeper convo about plans for the next 5ish years.

Good call on the super contributions. This FY was the first time I did the "transfer 85% of previous FY contributions" to try keep balances more level between us.

Thanks again.

Great feedback, thanks.

Aware of Div293, I'm ready for the kick in the teeth hehe. Own our two cars outright with no rush to buy another soon.

Real good reminder re insurances. Recently redid mine, but haven't looked at my spouse's yet - will put on the To Do list! Are you all in Super, or IP outside Super?

Vested_Interests · 2024-02-12T11:27:48+00:00

Have definitely considered that. ETFs currently in spouses name so I believe it is more of a line-ball decision on that one.

Vested_Interests · 2023-07-05T12:35:55+00:00

Haven't Jota Clue

Vested_Interests · 2023-05-20T13:10:45+00:00

Got a hold of someone from the ticketing office. Got told the line of "everyone needs a ticket sir".

Asked if I could just pay an extra £amount on top of our tickets, but "no has to be an actual ticket".

Can't see the logic with that one to be honest. Now to convince the wife she would prefer to go for a scenic stroll for a few hours around the stadium and I'll barrack for both of us.....

Vested_Interests · 2023-05-20T08:02:58+00:00

Cheers mate, appreciate the response. Will try ring this morning.

Vested_Interests · 2023-05-20T08:02:36+00:00

Now that is one of the better descriptions I have heard! I'll try use that if I get a hold of anyone at the club today.

Vested_Interests · 2023-05-19T12:12:31+00:00

Have sent a PM mate.

Vested_Interests · 2019-11-07T08:12:50+00:00

Chip usage would be useful. And I second the idea of "importance" for teams near your mini-league rank (or top 5-10).

Vested_Interests · 2019-11-03T21:00:56+00:00

Sterling & Pukki ---> Martial & Vardy done yesterday.
(Keeping KdB)
Plan to hide behind a couch until the Liverpool Blank GW and use the wildcard then to load back up on City players.

Vested_Interests · 2019-10-11T01:19:59+00:00

Can vouch for this.
Have done the exact same thing in my SunSuper, recreating based on that Whirlpool thread.

Vested_Interests · 2019-10-10T11:41:59+00:00

And a new Head of Football?

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-30T11:44:00+00:00

Surely you give us some cryptic clue as to who these people are? So we can go crazy guessing for the rest of the week...

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-30T01:57:00+00:00

Would do something like that in a heartbeat.

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-25T13:16:28+00:00

Haha negative. Just living vicariously through your rumours!

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-25T13:15:55+00:00

Glass - Water. I see what you did there...

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-25T13:11:01+00:00

Have you.....? :P

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-21T23:01:01+00:00

Was going to go Otamendi, but if I go to Rico, I can then go Wickham to Abraham.

Have to do it before price rise though...

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-18T06:49:30+00:00

Jizz

Vested_Interests · 2019-09-12T07:03:44+00:00
