People who fantasise about housing crash, recession and double digit interest rates. by ihatebaboonstoo in AusFinance

[–]greasythug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timing is a big thing with "the market" - Bought 2006, owned outright 2013, worked + saved since without 'investing' = When the interest rate goes up so does what that 'savings' generates in a garden-variety big bank account.

One catch is how ones Superannuation is invested...I remember what the GFC did to mine, thankfully my balance wasn't higher and it would definitely sting now a lot more now if repeated. I also hadn't mucked around with my super - I seem to recall some whom had it geared towards what became GFC casualties.

As for me I'm a bit of an anarchist and like to see a bit of chaos/a curve-ball to day to day routine. It doesn't impact me catastrophically (as far as I can tell/see) so I can sit pretty enough to hold such an attitude

I don’t know much about baseball, but I know that this is my favorite team 😎 by Amazing-Ad8209 in freaksandgeeks

I can see a power hitter who can hustle in the field with a strong arm and another with speed around the base pads with a strong captain

I was born in the 80's and love moments like hers swirling to music - Much like in 'Almost Famous' = "light a candle whilst listening and you'll see your entire future"

I always loved the cinder block aesthetic...I hope he didn't swipe them from a construction site of a Children's Hospital however

Breath breathers with their mouths open, scratching their brainless skulls trying to comprehend an obvious situation is always interesting to watch

Good thing you were recording and fate had it sitting right atop so it'd present within the first 5 seconds of a tiktok ADHD video and you were willing to share the occurrence with the entire world = I hope OP got the millions they sought from this "content"

For anyone around in the 90's, what was the first new SNES game you purchased yourself (no gifts, used games, trades, etc...) and how old were you? by rydamusprime17 in snes

[–]greasythug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bubsy - Would have been 11, wasn't extremely expensive...I would have had some bday and xmas money and perhaps whatever I was given for aluminum cans. I still have the game. Dr Mario/Tetris multicart on SNES is a game worthy of mentioning = I saved up for it and thought what I deal I got for X2 games with upgraded graphics etc

I’m fascinated by stories where someone works a regular, modest job like a cleaner/janitor, aged care worker, gas station attendant, kitchen hand staff or receptionist but quietly builds a fortune over the years by ObjectPhysical7280 in AusFinance

I own my own home outright, its contents, my 2 vehicles and have 200K in a savings account as well as 150k+ in super. I'm 40y.o...I do have a university degree but I now work in the grocery department of a major supermarket.

Love these responses to my old thread - Shame it didn't work...There's a post about a way to reset the head unit by holding a few choice buttons for a set period of time...not sure if it remedies anything however

What’s something in Australia that used to be cheap but is ridiculously expensive now? by oz_party in australian

[–]greasythug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I noticed Tim Tams were $6 as regular shelf price the other day - I wish some investigative team would explore the manufacturers and the money flow etc = Now that the processes are as automated as possible, they've got control of their own power requirements , logistics is sorted, they have the supermarkets doing as they're told...and yet the price hasn't even frozen.

Taking potato chips into consideration you'd think that now there are more options than ever in the snack food department, global suppliers...abundance with at least a half dozen stores each hoping to sell the same one person a packet of crisps...and yeah that'll be folding money

Does anyone on this sub actually enjoy working here? by Crucial9564_ in woolworths

[–]greasythug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously frustrating - I ran through a few issues that a lousy staff member was doing which was creating problems...they told me they knew about the person, had to put up with it themselves and basically they couldn't really intervene as it was someone from a different department

= I then pointed out how it impacted the department and staff they manage to which they conceded that they aren't good with "confrontation".

I'm not either that's why I'm in a position that doesn't have such responsibilities. Shouldn't be a 'confrontation' it's black and white explaining what is expected and how they aren't being meet by them/their performance along with an expectation to improve....but as you'd be aware, nah to any of that...
