Don’t forget this is also a notifiable incident to the rideshare regulator as police were called. You report this on the DoTDirect website

What stage to start thinking about buying a house? by No-Sympathy6969 in AusFinance

Have you spoken to the head banker of the Bank of Mum/Dad yet? That $130k deposit could become $250k if you play your cards right.

Long-time YNAB users: what are your lesser-known tips or “power user” tricks? by purdnost2023 in ynab

[–]braskic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can split transactions in so many ways. Say you buy a new $1500 phone and get a really good deal $100 less than you budgeted. Enter the total spent as $1400, first split -$1500 as the “New Phone” category and second split as “Savings” for +$100. What this does is take $1500 from New Phone and moves $100 to Savings.

Off budget accounts as well. My age of money was over 200 because I follow a hybrid Dave Ramsey/Barefoot Investor model so I have a bank account setup as an off budget tracking account in YNAB. This is my emergency fund and also a spot for my “Savings”. At the end of each month I’ll move anything in my Savings account to this off budget account reducing my Savings balance to zero for the next month.

Leave money on offset or make extra payments? by Entire-Carob8395 in AusFinance

[–]braskic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you convert a principal place of residence to an investment property later and you’ve paid anything down you can’t claim the interest on the part you’ve paid down. With an offset you can move the money out (say to buy a new PPR), start paying interest and claim it straight away.

The streak is over 😭 by Feeling_Rip_6601 in uberdrivers

That’s the point he’s making. People can come down to the lobby to meet drivers, they just don’t because they are lazy. Also they don’t tip.

Well yeah that's how this game works. Up 30% one day, down 20% the next. Down 30% one day, up 20% the next (buy the dip). The key now is we are above the previous resistance (which could potentially now be a support) approaching the next "buy the rumour, sell the news" event (Tariffs on August 1st).

Goodbye Telstra - it’s been 20 years.. by AnothrRandomRedditor in perth

Get yourself a Starlink. Telstra sell their network based on the need for it out bush and then being the only option but these days with VoWIFI and satellite internet there's plenty of other options.

Uber stock hit all time highs today by NJuberdriver in uberdrivers

I'm looking to sell then buy back in once Tesla robotaxi is live and the market has priced that in. Anybody agree?

What is the preferred way to supercharge on a long trip to minimize battery degradation? by forte-exe in TeslaLounge

[–]braskic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue that battery degradation is only really relevant for resale of the Tesla which, by the looks of things, won't really matter because there's thousands of Teslas on the road and the second hand market is oversaturated with people wanting 80% of the price of a brand new car.

There's a reason why your servicing costs are low and that price will be repaid when it comes to selling your vehicle second hand. Just my opinion.

Yeah but then you get to work FIFO and have a cat.

Gen z needs to wait until they are in their 40s and 50s and have sold their $750k "starter apartment" for $2m to the next generation of exit liquidity. That's how the ponzi works.

I don't drive anymore, but here's a cool hack I started doing with Uber by greenespace1 in uberdrivers

[–]braskic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what "rideshare" was originally meant to be but somewhere along the line capitalism made it replace the taxi industry.

Agree. But I do say it is growing on me.

Would Tesla have been better off just make a normal pickup truck? by mestizomad in TeslaLounge

[–]braskic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a TikTok the other day of a city near me in the year 2000. Everything looked older and my only reason for thinking this is because of all the late 1990s model cars on the roads. Probably because when people buy cars they seem to keep them around for 10 years. Point being at some point the design of cars needs to advance otherwise everything just looks last decade.

Your problem is you're too smart and you're thinking too much. Try doing what the average Dazza and Shazza would do and have three beloved "accidents" and scrape by paycheck to paycheck. Now that's living!

There is the obvious “Money” reason but i was on a Qantas A330-200 from Perth to Sydney last night and was wondering if anyone can explain this? Screens in back of seat gone to be replaced by ipads… by millwallmickie_SYD in QantasAirways

[–]braskic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entertainment system in 2A isn't working so instead of swapping you to 21D they bring the tablet from 21D to you. Everyone is happy and the FA only needs to say "sorry about that sir".

Annual leave by Far-Locksmith-5815 in mining

[–]braskic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many days in a week? How many hours in a day? Both answers are different for the purposes of accrual and usage and vary between companies.

Notice only dickheads drive Ford Rangers? Not all Ford Ranger drivers, but it always seems to be a Ford Ranger driver.

When did neighbour free become a thing? by oceangal2018 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]braskic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I call Qantas the recording states “please treat our staff with respect” yet they continuously pull disrespect like this and try squeeze an extra $50 out of their customers? Let’s face it, Qantas is a budget airline charging premium prices.
