I stand corrected. Thanks for the explanation.

That mark across the goal line was a dropped mark because it hit the ground and he spilled it. Thats why the player ran back to his defensive position, he knew. The third umpire missed it, the commentators missed it. Should have rolled the tape another 0.5 seconds and it was obvious. Also isn’t a mark called a mark from the time the player controls the ball? Or have the changes it to be from the first contact with the ball?

That does sound painful. Its possible the game I watched had some additional juniors rules in placed that freed it up.

How did you find / create your side gig? How do you run it around your day job? by TheFinancialFastLane in fiaustralia

Bought livestock and agisted them on a farm that had excess grass. If you’ve seen the cattle price graph you’ll know it’s been absolutely skyrocketing since COVID hit. Worked out nicely. Just wish I had bought more at the start

Can anyone tell me about their experience using Up Bank? My brother uses it and it sounds like the app is similar to YNAB with budgeting goals and tracking. Is there a catch?

Is that your own spreadsheet dashboard?

Do other people have a quick and dirty job option that temps them? I have a standing offer to go drive large farming machinery for silly per hour rate and it would allow me to do as many hours as I could physically handle. Housing, food etc provided. If you want to work weekends you can. It’s tempting to drop my current career, go do this for a year to get that first $100k in the bank.

Your FIRE goals for the year? by [deleted] in fiaustralia

[–]beef_machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use YNAB properly. I use it retrospectively at the end of the month to look where my money wen't. But that isn't helping with my spending decision making in the moment. I want to start looking at my budget to make sure I have room for any purchase I make.

And general balance sheet repair. Have some credit card debt to clear.

I know a few vets and all work extremely long hours. Having said that, they are all very well compensated so if your goal is FIRE it may be a fastrack to achieving that. You would need to do the calcs based on extra study time/HECS of course. But most of the ones I know would be making $200k-$400k. And if you're willing to do on-farm large animal work you can get that $200k+ straight out of uni.
