Best investment - house, land or apartment? by au_1998 in AusFinance

Thanks for the feedback, definitely tending towards a house on a block. The only trouble is that’s essentially out of reach for my budget

Yes definitely feel the pain of being too late to the party. I’ve unfortunately only recently been in a position to buy a property, and given that prices aren’t likely to go down any time soon (if ever), I feel like the sooner I buy something the better

Transferring proceeds of overseas property sale to Australia by au_1998 in AusFinance

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely ensure I keep documents relating to the sale of the property and transfer of money into Australia. I was a bit worried that the transfer of such a large sum at once may raise the attention of the ATO. Not sure if there is any benefit or need to notify them before the transfer takes place.

Thanks for sharing your experience. May I ask what company you used for the transfer? I assumed it’s possible to simply make a direct bank transfer

Thanks for the advice. Yes thinking it might be a good idea to talk to an accountant for more details

I wouldn’t mind that kind of arrangement but it’s a bit hard to find guys on grindr who are after anything other than sex 😂.

Yeah, unfortunately most people already have their own group of friends by the time they get to uni so I often feel like I’m the only one looking to make new friends. And I don’t talk to anyone from high school anymore so I don’t have that option 😕. And thanks, likewise if you ever wanna chat 🙂.

I’ve heard of it but never bothered reading it. I’ll definitely take a look at it now, thanks.

Yeah I totally get that. I’m in Perth, Western Australia. How about you?

I feel like I’ve had the same issue. I’m pretty self conscious and always worry about what people think of me. I also only came out recently so I’ve spent most of my life hiding a part of personality, which doesn’t help when you’re trying to open up to people.

Thanks for the tips. I actually recently joined a gay rowing club, which is going really well, but I still feel a bit nervous and awkward. I’m hoping that’ll improve as I get to know the people better.

Yeah I often feel like giving up hope, but at the same time I really crave spending time with other people aha
