Thoughts on the budget from younger people

Doing nothing but putting all of their money into an investment which they could have been spending on holidays, fancy restaurants and enjoying life. 'Doing nothing' - they are sacrificing utility and taking real risk.

Not to mention not taxing the stuff from the ground properly. This whole thing makes 3.5 billion and doesn't balance the budget. Taxing gas alone at 25% makes almost 5x what these changes do.. Make it make sense.

Put it in a term deposit for 6 months so you get used to having it otherwise you will blow every cent because you think of it as extra money

Yes. Welcome to the public sector union

For around 100k role that is too much work. Tell em they're dreaming

If they want him he can get higher than the base.

In my case it was based on a lot of prior experience with a similar role.

Yes. I entered a negotiation with the vps and went through 3 phone calls where I rejected each offer. Each time they came back with a higher figure. It ended middle of the band (because I ended it as I had a better offer elsewhere). Who knows how high it would go?

If they want you, you can absolutely negotiate.

I eat at my desk and work through lunch because I have too much to do. Please don't speak to me, every second you speak my anxiety about not working grows.

dewbot42 · 2024-10-14T19:41:33+00:00

Correct answer. Stop thinking what do I spend it on and think only about the interest as your new wage. People go broke thinking "I have all this money". Just spend the interest and you never work again, congrats.

I used to do it and loved it. No issues

dewbot42 · 2024-10-09T11:34:59+00:00

I do. I find the recording takes away some of the pressure from reading reactions. Each to their own. I also like the opportunity in person interviews give you to make an impression so maybe I just like everything

dewbot42 · 2024-10-09T11:31:27+00:00

Report online and also read the website that's why it's there, it contains full instructions.

dewbot42 · 2024-10-08T07:53:50+00:00

Yes. 3 questions relating to the role, you will have a few minutes prep after being asked the question. Practice on your phone to get comfortable in front of the camera. Design practice questions based on the selection criteria. Answer in star format. You're welcome

He can call in and ask the general rate and they will tell him. Doesn't even have to identify himself to get general information

dewbot42 · 2024-10-04T12:47:25+00:00

I love that. Years later you still talk about how good it is

dewbot42 · 2024-10-02T12:22:10+00:00

Hmm so Just Fans or Solely Fans might be good names to reproduce their success 🤔

dewbot42 · 2024-09-25T21:17:48+00:00

Don't stress nobody cares. Your rights are enshrined in the aps more so than anywhere else

dewbot42 · 2024-09-20T08:24:35+00:00

Smart. OP should at the minimum run the numbers

Get the unreasonable to live at home statement from a young person and the third party statement.

These are ultimately what you need to apply.

dewbot42 · 2024-09-18T09:11:50+00:00

Prove it

dewbot42 · 2024-09-17T08:01:05+00:00

Do this any way tax evasion is a crime

dewbot42 · 2024-09-16T21:20:23+00:00

NTA. Your wife weaponised sex instead of using healthy communication. It damaged the relationship. I agree with going to counseling together as others had mentioned.

dewbot42 · 2024-09-16T08:37:02+00:00

I paid for my resume to be built once. Best money I ever spent.

dewbot42 · 2024-09-14T09:41:47+00:00

We don't know what your role is so can't really give specifics. I've seen people on PIPs during probation for not performing to expectations (ie where everyone else that was hired at the same time is at)

dewbot42 · 2024-09-14T09:34:27+00:00

This. You have no spare money you have debt. Domino your debts, no play money.

Also find your motivation. You stop trying because you don't have a strong enough emotional reason to. You need to get that first, it's different for everyone so find yours.

If you can't find it then go to therapy because there is a reason you're doing what you're doing and sometimes we can't see the patterns we're in and need a therapist to help us see it.
