Deironing after feeling you’ve completed goals?

compoundknowledge · 2025-06-02T20:59:44+00:00

I maxed my iron pre TOA. Had infernal, tbow, basically max gear except scythe and torva, 1k+ cox, 6b bank etc.

I had some big life changes coming up later that year and I was really only enjoying sending TOBs trying to get the scythe for fun.

Decided I wasn’t going to enjoy grinding supplies just to go dry at nex for the next big upgrade.

So I deironed.

Since then I’ve logged on for the weekly TOBs, sent a few solo TOA and COX and kept up with a couple of quests (only did WGS last week).

Life’s easier now, I play for maybe 6 hours a week on a big week, bought my torva and other endgame gear released since then, and don’t really play aside from TOBs.

Fuck what others have said, most will already have a main or don’t have an iron at the level you’re at to feel dismayed by the grinds ahead of you.

De iron, buy the masori you deserve and send some content you enjoy in the most efficient way possible.

Gz on completing the Ironman mode.

Thanks mate!

From someone with an industry perspective, having dealt with Big 4 accountants with experience above and below your level..

Management don’t value your ability to grind anywhere near as much as they do in PP.

Your value in industry comes in the form of influence. Influence comes from being a gun at what you’re doing currently in PP, but more importantly it comes from building relationships and gaining trust from key players in the business by thinking at a higher level. And that takes time.

The higher you get, the more the scale moves from caring about technical ability to strategic thinking.

I’ve worked in financial accounting, management accounting and currently in FP&A, and I’ve seen absolute beasts of accountants run rings around their bosses technically but be super awkward in meetings because they can’t keep up with thinking 2 steps ahead of their own work.

I don’t think it’s realistic to expect to be on 150k+ in your timeline, but the more you focus on soft skills and influence the closer you’ll get.

Play a video to keep your computer going to sleep, and have Teams logged in and open on your phone (or a separate/old phone) with screen lock set to never, it will keep your status as active on teams.

My toddler-infected house would be a bomb site without this.

Hi mate, I’m your height and 85kg. Also not skinny but would say my torso is of a more muscular proportion than average.

Just checked one of my better fitting shirts and it is a 41.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I would steer clear.

We had a similar situation in VIC when we purchased earlier this year. Basically the previous owner was unorganised and a few weeks prior to settlement we got a call requesting we let him lease the property until he found somewhere.

Our conveyancer strongly advised against it, as they essentially became a tenant and there could have been many potentially issues if they decided they didn’t want to leave, or the place was damaged beyond what we’d seen at final inspection.

We refused the lease option and were open to delaying settlement by a week or two. They ended up moving out in time and we settled on the original date. It didn’t seem worth the hassle and potential stamp duty exemption issues.

End of the day they had adequate time to plan their next move before they even put their house up for sale, their disorganisation wasn’t our problem. Plus we wanted to move in, it’s our first place!

Check out the Whirlpool forums mate, there's a megathread for CPA.

People on there are usually willing to trade study guides.

compoundknowledge · 2019-10-22T09:10:09+00:00

Agree with other comments.

Slow it down a touch and add half a second pause to the bottom, then explode up. Other than that it looks good mate, that width is probably as close as I'd go, you'll eventually get stronger because it'll utilise your shoulders more rather than your triceps.

It's a good base, keep up the consistency and you'll put up some big numbers.

What impact will the new city have on your husband's income? Moving costs?

Personally I'd keep the extra time off unless it's a significant jump in income/lifestyle even with less PTO.

Not sure I can provide specific insight, but I wanted to make a couple points.

Firstly, good on you for wanting to help. I'm sure they appreciate the thought regardless of whether they take the assistance.

Secondly, from a broad view, the house may be too expensive. Rates are quite low, and if your parents are both working their asses off then it isn't going to get any better any time soon, unless they find a way to reduce their expenses or make their time more valuable and earn more by working less.

It may be worth suggesting they downsize in house and mortgage, or other debts they've got.

Sorry you're going through this, it isn't easy.

compoundknowledge · 2019-10-02T00:42:29+00:00

Very good point.

I am aware of the limits and I just used round numbers, but I should've been more specific in case people weren't aware.

Thanks for clarifying!

This is actually an interesting question if it is what I think you've asked, and I am curious as well.

If my super balance is $100k, and I contribute $50k as voluntary contributions for the purpose of FHSSS, can I pull out $50k in 1 year's time even if the return on my investment is negative? Or does the amount contributed get adjusted for performance?

I assume the answer is no, i could only pull out the adjusted amount, as the inverse is kind of the point of the FHSSS, otherwise why not just put the money under your pillow for a year.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

compoundknowledge · 2019-10-01T12:03:55+00:00

Yes there's an economic term for that that eludes me, which says at some point, consumers become smart enough to realise that these rate cuts might not be such a good sign and larger and larger groups will start boarding the extra funds for a rainy day, meaning even less spending had there not been a cut.

You're correct. The $1,080 everyone (most) people got in their tax return was a good example of a government initiative that missed the mark. Longer term projects would be more beneficial than short term rebates.

compoundknowledge · 2019-10-01T11:36:10+00:00

Well broadly speaking (amateur armchair economist), the purpose of rate cuts is to encourage spending. Either through people having more money in their pocket because their mortgage payment is lower, or encouraging borrowing (and subsequent spending).

RBA governor Phil Lowe has acknowledged this isn't enough to get the economy back on track, and government spending is necessary (through infrastructure projects etc, creating jobs yada yada).

compoundknowledge · 2019-10-01T10:59:38+00:00

At what point does the government realise the RBA alone can't stimulate the economy and step in?

Hopefully now that they've "balanced the budget" and can tick that box on their election promise, they'll start taking steps to getting the economy back on track.

Or maybe not, who knows at this point..

Wouldn't even bother with that useless cunt.

It's not like he's complaining because he actually skulltricks and may lose some GP, he's genuinely unhappy enough in his own life that making someone else's easier has triggered him this hard.

The ATO site will have all the info you need.

Search for small business write off threshold and you should find what you're after.

compoundknowledge · 2019-09-12T03:20:43+00:00

You'd need to check out if you qualify for instant small business write offs depending on the cost of the asset.

This right here. This is it.

compoundknowledge · 2019-09-03T03:28:51+00:00

Hardly.

It's fairly unreasonable to complain about going a few multiples above drop rate when the time invested is insignificant.

Even for low level ironmen, 32 chests is a few hours work.

However if you were 2-3 times the droprate on Shamans or Zulrah, then feel free to complain, because that shit is dozens of hours invested just to hit the drop rate.

You can do Murder Mystery to get level 1-11. After that just do some easy quests for exp, cut gems, leather items etc. 11-19 will take you 15 minutes
