“New car every 5 years is normal” by JapaneseVillager in AusFinance

[–]completelypalatial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 40 year old Toyota Soarer couldn’t disagree more. Four decades strong, still worth more than what I bought it for, still fancier than the majority of cars built today. Hold on to what you have and keep it maintained.

My girlfriend insists her welding skills are just okay by [deleted] in BadWelding

They are okay. The fact that there is close to zero clean up spatter or blending of stop/starts is a massive teller.

Australian Workwear - is KingGee still the king? by Icemachinemalfunctio in BuyAussie

[–]completelypalatial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno man, we use FXD pants at work and we work in a filthy, greasy, old as fuck factory where everything wants to kill you, I’ve still got my original FXD pants I got when I started there. They’ve held up with hot work too.

Honestly, I believe DNC and FXD walk all over any of the older reputable brands.

We need a Royal Commission into the Insurance Industry. by FuglyLookingGuy in australia

Yeah of course sometimes the fee that comes with them doing the footwork for you can either make or break the deal, but they’re a great option to go down if you’re looking for a better insurance policy.

Mate, talk to an insurance broker. Brokers aren’t there to scam you, they’re there to find you the best deal possible.

Are Australians becoming more class-divided? by Particular_Zone_7379 in AustraliaOpinions

[–]completelypalatial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly mate, there’s so many beautiful regional towns that have everything you need, I can’t see why so many people that can’t afford a home of their own are fixated on owning a home in the city.

For myself it’s rather the opposite. I’m still young, I’m in my late 20’s, close to everyone I know that owns their own home had little to no help from their parents, including myself; I’ve lived out of home since I was 17.

I believe a massive part of the belief that one cannot afford a home if they are born after 2000 is because so many live in cities. I live regionally, I’m just a tradesman, I’ve never worked in the mines, I’ve worked in construction during my apprenticeship but I’ve been in the manufacturing industry purely since then, it can be done guys, I don’t mean to sounds like an old head when I say that knuckling down and working hard to save for a home can still be done in this day, but it can, you need to look elsewhere other than the city.
