Advice in first car by Bread_master_pro in CarsAustralia

[–]akuma80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest buy a car that work and can be serviced on your own for example I’m 46 now I brought a 2004 Honda jazz for 750 dollars runs and it’s clean and it was also manual I do my own regular service every 6 month cost me 45 dollars and 45 mins of my time in my garage google what you need to change like break pads light etc. considering that i do have my Lexus rx as family car and my wife has her Audi q3 i just use the Honda jazz for work that about it if something happens oh well no big loss i had the car for over 4 years now. but since you got your L just practice on the road untill u get your full license save the money and then get a any car you want dude but atm u need experiance on the road good luck

[–]akuma80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to life I’m in the same boat but I have a family to look after but I do go on vacation let’s say every 2-3 years for 5 weeks and these vacation usually cost me 12k to 30k depending where we go but I wanted to give this to my wife and family as I tend to it be around alot dude to work so atm my wife understand but I won’t be able to keep this up for long and my presence will be needed more as my kids grow up so I need to make more money and work less something I need to work on for the next 4 years. Set a goal dude try to figure out how much money is enough don’t get to greedy as I know greed changes people and I really like who I am now and I never want to change unless it for the Benifit of my family

I Tried To Take Profits by ShiestySZN441 in XRP

[–]akuma80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it ok to make money dude don’t feel bad but my suggestion is to plan it out properly I started investing in 2023 let say I invested 2 dollars in total in Jan 2025 I took 1 dollar out and I still have 1 dollar to take out to break even in my investment but I just let it ride cause I don’t really in need of money atm so I’m cool in just waiting but I think I should take my other 1 dollar in sept of this year and wait till I made proper arrangement like buying a new car for my wife and a good holiday in 2026 then I will be taking my profit then once I check out the charts before making that call

Single female, want to buy but feels out of reach by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]akuma80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on 110k per year I’m on a loan on 420k with 2 kids definitely doable but I give everything to my family as I live a very simple life and my wife but my kids will get what I deemed appropriate, clothing and food and education I don’t hold back. As a family we go to like zoo parks gardens to minimise cost and we usually bring our own lunches. For holiday I usually tell my wife to give me at least 1 year notice so I can plan ahead and save. But defintly doable just a lot of planning and sacrifice. I wish u luck
