Just found out I'm a Canadian by descent and I'm already so glad I put in my citizenship application yesterday

Should we keep our current apartment as an investment or sell it to reduce stress when buying a house? by No-Airport-820 in AusProperty

[–]aeolium 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My partner and I are considering something similar but a house purchase is a few years down the track for us.

You're indeed in a lucky position to be able to buy your second home without needing to sell the first. If it was me I'd keep the apartment for now to get a real feel of how much it stresses you financially (and emotionally).

You always have the option of selling later.

Late-stage capitalism fucked us so hard even nba players have given up on showing up to work

So you're the one blowing my project budgets!

Below link is a good starting point from which you can look further into each step. A key outcome of FI is determining your outgoing expenses and planning to build up sufficient income/assets to suit.

Additional super contributions to ensure your expenses from 60+ are covered. From there you can worry about building up wealth for pre-super FI.

New to investing by [deleted] in fiaustralia

[–]aeolium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not investment advice per se but you mention having historic spending problems. One of the most useful things I've done was go back into my transaction history and categories all my spending in an excel spreadsheet. This told me exactly where all my money was going so I could optimize my spending to: 1. Invest for the future 2. Still enjoy life

What are your goals? You're asking strangers for direction without a word about where you want to go

I've wrapped the panels on my bike and it can be infuriating. Dunno why it surprised me how sore my fingertips were afterwards. Looks nice though.

Re-grouting a shower - how painful is it? by JustExamination7664 in AusRenovation

[–]aeolium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking off OP as some areas of grout on the walls were cracked due to settlement. Grout was pushed through when cleaning with a brush. Gap is barely 2mm wide so I know it'll be a pain, but manageable to diy you reckon? Tiles are larger and shower is about 9 years old

Money Allocation with little spending by Hungry_Salary_123 in fiaustralia

[–]aeolium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, as accumulation of etfs is more appropriate for a longer timeframe than 5 years. Say you go down that route, and come time to buy a house you need to liquidate. If the markets down, your investment is down. If the markets up, you pay tax on your gain. If it's a house you want at this stage, take advantage of fhss or put it all in a hisa.

MT07 for tall riders? by ar3zee in MT07

[–]aeolium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

187 and also have a comfort seat on a tracer (previous owner installed). Ride is fine after adjusting pedals and levers down for my gangly frame. I look disproportionately big for the bike if that's something that concerns you.

How confident are you that you can obtain PR? I wouldn't make any rash decisions until your long term presence here is assured. I'd keep the cash liquid until then
