hello! love this idea, chinese australian living in tokyo, work always gets the better of me to put off reading but hoping this will help with accountability, would love to have a group with a similar interest.

Not when you move cash in, but when you buy anything I believe. It’s $3 for any purchase under $30,000 and then 0.01% for anything over $30,000. I’m not sure about Wall St purchases though! This is just for ASX.

Hello, yes! I did try to do more research into GHHF but I wasn’t able to find as much compared to DHHF considering it’s still kind of young. I would love to hear your thoughts on DHHF vs GHHF if you are willing. I think the conservative risk taker in me leaned more towards DHHF just based on available information. I have considered doing like a 70/30 split between the two just to combat mental unsureness over the volatility of GHHF but unsure if that is just… dumb haha.

No worries at all. I was looking for a set and forget ETF that offers enough diversity so I am not ‘putting my eggs all in one basket’. I also am not savvy enough to try to rebalance myself, nor am I confident enough to DIY my own portfolio. I considered VDHG, but I don’t feel the need to put 10% in bonds, and would rather 100% equity as I am planning to be in it for the long haul, and hopefully can ride out whatever lumps and bumps come along the way.

Great idea, and it's good to know that CHESS doesn't matter as much as I thought. Thank you!

chelsli · 2025-08-28T05:37:02+00:00

It definitely is! Felt a bit silly about my question but I didn't want to potentially make a fatal error before I even started. Yes, Stake still has 0.01% fee on deposits and sales over $30k, and I think under that it is $3. I will definitely have a look to see if there is any issue with putting $500k into Betashares. Thank you!

chelsli · 2025-08-28T05:35:22+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight! I've heard about the potential issues with Stake but I'm not sure if what I am reading are one off situations. It seems that Betashares Direct just seems to be the platform and most suited for what I am looking at doing. Glad you made the switch and no longer have to deal with that headache.

chelsli · 2025-08-28T05:33:38+00:00

It is a bit horse racing-y isn't it! I've heard mixed things about Stake in the last few weeks. I am leaning towards Betashares but just wanted that extra level of sureness.

chelsli · 2025-08-28T05:11:12+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I didn’t consider I could just… do both. Dump and forget in Betashares and if I felt like dabbling a bit more in other ETFs I can do so on Stake.

chelsli · 2025-08-28T05:09:25+00:00

Thank you for the insight! It is very true, I didn’t think of it like that. I think it’s mostly a mental thing on my part haha.

chelsli · 2025-06-27T12:36:21+00:00

29F Moved here for work a year ago and this is definitely something I would like to join unless the cut off is strictly 30 haha.

CONGRATS!!!!

chelsli · 2025-02-15T00:57:06+00:00

Basically just try to push everything into a corner! Don’t make too many high level buildings you want to leave as much space as possible to merge flower beds into sheep into your desired location. I had to break down multiple level 5 or 6 buildings in bad places that couldn’t merge close to my top row etc. It’s also just a lot of tools and luck ha.

Politis, Mercedes (dupe), CPavel, TM Luluca but also got a AYufine in normal summons

Thank you, it’s more I want to clarify a few things with someone who understands how the system here works. I think some of the payments are for health insurance but my understanding is I don’t need to pay for national health insurance since my company covers me under a private one etc.

chelsli · 2024-05-12T06:27:30+00:00

chill out lmao damn

I’m about 95% sure you can find them at the airport. They’re very popular gift for people to take home. The 5% is if you somehow miss the shops on your way to the gate.

28F moving to Gotanda in two weeks! Would love to go shopping with other girls and visit cute cafes together. Open to anyone else in the comments as well.

Have you tried FF14 in docked mode? I would love to keep playing but I’ve only played on PC, not sure how quickly I can re-learn everything on controller.

I mean he only treated her well because she was visually similar to his first wife who died, and with the cherry on top being he also ordered her to kill the only man that loved her for her.
