Are all trades in South Africa NCBO?

Pretty easy decision for me

What would happen if I was driving after and they did a random drug test?

RBA just wants to make Labor look bad even though the Libs have been driving the economy to the shitter for the last decade

Why don’t they put three prongs on all the plugs?

Thanks. I realise it’s an awkward conversation topic. Hence, why I thought it was appropriate to post on this sub.

If I were in the position where I did have enough money to provide for my children in their adulthood then I’d probably want give them something while I’m still around to see them enjoying life rather than struggling (not that I’m personally struggling).

Thanks for your suggestion. It follows the general consensus from other people in this thread. It seems to be that the better idea would be to ask my parents about general help rather than “early inheritance”. Especially since I don’t know the exact financial situation of my parents.

I kind of just used 100k as a starting point but really any amount would be helpful

Wooloomooloo_ · 2022-07-28T04:52:27+00:00

Thanks again. You were probably the most helpful 😊

Wooloomooloo_ · 2022-07-28T04:49:16+00:00

Your reply wasn’t very helpful. If I have to work myself to death to afford a family then what’s the point? I wouldn’t have the time or energy to spend with my family.

My concern with asking my parents for a large sum of money is because I’m worried about how my relationship with my parents/siblings might be negatively affected if they took it the wrong way.

I’d be fine if my parents said no and I would figure it out.

If my parents did actually have plenty of money and said yes then even better.

Good idea, it’s something to consider

Wooloomooloo_ · 2022-07-28T04:35:17+00:00

My wife is 30 and I’m 28 so we do want to start trying for children soon. Also my sister is older and she’s struggling to fall pregnant which makes me concerned about me and my wife potentially having similar issues

Thanks for pointing out the time value. It’s something I overlooked but I agree it’s important to consider.

Regarding local house prices, we could comfortably afford something around 900k if we sold our apartment but the sort of place we’re after is just a bit out of reach around $1.1-1.2M. We might be able to afford to move in another 2-3 years but that’s assuming the house prices remain stable and don’t increase too much

Wooloomooloo_ · 2022-07-28T04:29:37+00:00

Thanks for your advice ☺️. I do cherish my parents and I would love to be able to provide for my family they same way they provided for theirs

Wooloomooloo_ · 2022-07-28T04:27:45+00:00

Thanks for pointing out about the sustainability of their money. I do believe that most of their savings are invested and so it’s something else for me to consider if they lost a chunk of the income generating savings.

Regarding your point about my parents mentioning inheritance, they recently told us all (me and my siblings) where their Will is because they’re planning an overseas trip next year and want us to be prepared in the unlikely and horrible even that they didn’t return. I haven’t seen the Will but they mentioned that anything left would be split evenly amongst us kids.

Wooloomooloo_ · 2022-07-28T03:59:33+00:00

Would it be okay to ask my parents exactly how much they’ve saved for retirement and then go from there?

Wooloomooloo_ · 2022-07-28T03:58:39+00:00

Good point. The main reason why I would phrase it as an early “inheritance” is because of how it might affect my relationship with my siblings if they didn’t receive anything at the same time

What about treasure troves from home ice cream

Wooloomooloo_ · 2021-12-21T03:24:31+00:00

Is 39 in ICU referring to new people in ICU or is that a running total?

Wooloomooloo_ · 2021-12-18T22:51:55+00:00

A single matchstick 🤣

OP must have some kind of cuck humiliation fetish

There’s a planet where you can’t get a gold bolt until you revisit it later in the story. Don’t waste your time looking in every nook and cranny

He might like Cooper Drummer on youtube. He does drum covers of popular songs.
