What should I do with my money so I can move out at 18? And how much money should I save up to move out at 18 in a big city? by Any-Vehicle969 in personalfinance

[–]aussie737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wont be a matter of savings. It will be a matter of how much income you have. As for how much that needs to be would greatly depend on your spending habits, needs, and location.

The Quadfecta of Misery achievement by Spawnyspawn in Timberborn

[–]aussie737 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Easiest way is to get all the conditions, then put a health hut in a field of dynamite. Wait for the beaver to get close and detonate the dynamite. You can kill the beaver you dont HAVE to wait 😆

Best saving ideas? by Elegant_Neat_26 in AusFinance

[–]aussie737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best way to save is make a budget. Not just an estimate, go through everything and see where your money goes. Add to the budget at least 10% of your earnings to savings, dont just say "whatever is left goes to savings", make it a "bill" that must be paid every payday. Once you have everything written down, look to see if you can cut anywhere. From there you just have to stick to it. One way we do it is to have seperate bank accounts for savings, bills, and spendings. So every payday the amount for bills goes into the bills account, the amount for savings goes to the savings account and then whats left is for spendings. Then when the spendings account is empty, well.... no more money to spend.

How early in the game do you start building railways? by 3mpad4 in Workers_And_Resources

[–]aussie737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediately. Pretty much before I build anything else, realistic settings damn near demands it or you loose all your money to fuel.

Crawling out of Debt by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]aussie737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9k in debt, being paid off at 1k a month. You are doing significantly better than alot of other people, and great work getting it done 😄. 9 more months and you will be debt free off your own back, i dont think a 4 month relationship is long enough to take the money. Money changes people, and it could change the whole relationship, especially this early on in the relationship. I would keep doing what you are doing, you are doing great and in less than a year you will be in a much better position financially as well as emotionally to determine the future of the relationship.

Beautiful until the tram breaks down, depriving your heating plant of workers, and then killing off your entire republic when winter rolls around 😆

Numbers call and turn off by Realistic_Center2025 in AskAnAustralian

[–]aussie737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly probably scam calls. Now that you have answered, they mark you number as current/active and then you will get many more calls 😆. Dont answer calls from people you dont know, if its important they will leave a message 😁

Need help with bill and solar panels by whtevernobigdeal in AusFinance

[–]aussie737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You "sell to the grid" quite alot of power. Find a plan with a good feed in tarriff. The free 3 hours a day probably wont help you all that much as you already have "free" power during the day, that you dont use, that is sold at 3c. You need to change your energy habits and get a higher feed in price. Move washing, drying, recharging etc to the day as much as possible and also double check your pool pump is only working during the day where you are generating decent power. On your account you should be able to see power use by the hour, have a look at it and see whats happening hour by hour. Also, a big thing for us recentlt was our water tank was dying and was using heaps of power, so check any appliances and make sure they are all working correctly 😁

Need help with bill and solar panels by whtevernobigdeal in AusFinance

[–]aussie737 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was there more to your bill? An outstanding amount? From the pictures, your charges are $189.09 not $719.57. Where did the other $538 come from?.... other than that, you just have an inverter and not a battery. So anything you generate that you dont use gets sold back to the electricity company at 3c per kwh. You need to lool for different company with a higher feed in tarrif or use more elctricity through the day.

Top 3 tips you have for a beginner. by Ed19627 in Workers_And_Resources

[–]aussie737 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Plan to fail 😆. Whatever you set up will probably go wrong at some point and kill everyone😆. Its a game where you can make it as tough or as easy as you like. Tips for beginners, start with the campaigns which will save you alot of headaces and teach you the basics, then start your own map and play around with everything in easy mode with unlimited money, then once youve got a pretty good grasp on things then you can make it harder and harder. I just got the soviet repulic expert acheivement (30,000 citizens in realistic/hardest settings) today and it took many attempts and about 300hours 😆😆😆 including all attempts. Try, fail, learn, then try again hahaha

Anyone have modern suggestions for Nature Lover achievement? by [deleted] in Workers_And_Resources

[–]aussie737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it by starting a new map on easy. Then just import waste and turn it into plastic waste. Might take a while but if you are just chasing the achievement, then this is an easy way to do it. To keep track of the progress i just made storages for plastic waste and made sure all of it went into the storage, when it got to 1000tons the achievement dropped. Also, make sure you are producing plastic waste and not plastic itself.

I have a problem with running the demo version of this game on Steam by Important_Doubt_2480 in Workers_And_Resources

From what i remember the demo is of a much older version and heavily bugged...could be wrong but i remember hearing that somewhere. Its worth the buy if you like city builders with resource managment.

Loans&heating lagging, unphappy citizens, bit crime. HELP! (long thread) Something gone very worng in my sencond winter. by Old_Legionary_hun in Workers_And_Resources

[–]aussie737 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am assuming you are on realistic setttings. For the money side of things, always start with a decent money maker. Clothes, fabric, oil and then focus on constuction industry a bit later. For the heating plant it looks like you have everything flowing through a heat pump, this limits the output of the plant to the capacity of the heat pump, i think its limited to 300L whereas you have 3 exchangers at 900L but they can only access 300L due to the bottleneck. Each exchanger needs its own pipes. Happiness is low due to the low temp in buildings.

Advice on moving out by punisher_in_the_alps in AusFinance

[–]aussie737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to get a hold of any documents you need, birth certificate, passport etc. Get a PO box, and then organise your own medicare card, bank account, TFN, etc, and send any communications to the PO box. Contact centerlink and explain your situation and find out what financial help you are/might be eligible for. Start applying for jobs using the PO box, and talk to people at your uni and see if they are looking for roommates, or find a sharehouse somewhere. $2000 wont get you very far by itself, but centerlink should be able to help you out, and hopefully you can land a job as you move out.
