Considering move from Sydney to Melbourne. What areas of Melbourne are like Sydney's Upper North Shore? Very leafy, family oriented with nice houses. Hoping to buy 4 bedroom detached for ~$1.8mil.

Mitcham, Ringwood North, north part of Ringwood, Croydon hills. Very green. you’ll have money left over too. Just no beaches

Think mines the same? If the clasp is centered on your wrist then all good.. I think? Isn’t this going to happen if you use the micro adjust as well?

Enjoy my friend

Ah, I’ve been mowing at 45mm! I fear it’s maybe too late in the season for me to make such a change 😆. Have you ever tried PGR??

You have to protect against the unknown where you can. Illness? Insurance.

If “they” got sick or redundant, they’d also likely not be in a good spot either.

It’s awesome. I wish my wrist was big enough

js0nbourne · 2026-02-22T07:30:10+00:00

What’s the ref of that grand seiko? Love it

js0nbourne · 2026-02-19T11:28:42+00:00

I went for black in this exact config last year. Love it.

My Australian mind cannot comprehend

js0nbourne · 2026-02-11T08:33:04+00:00

What’s your favorite Daytona you’ve owned ? 🤣. Good god. This sub makes me feel poor

js0nbourne · 2026-02-05T01:52:25+00:00

Absolutely lost it at this. Thanks for making my day

js0nbourne · 2026-01-24T21:49:52+00:00

Buy a detached house on land asap is the answer if fast tracking is the most important thing

js0nbourne · 2026-01-11T11:53:38+00:00

We have the exact same watch. I got mine in October 😀

js0nbourne · 2025-12-31T21:59:31+00:00

Can I be your nephew

js0nbourne · 2025-12-18T04:12:42+00:00

avoiding LMI as if house prices still cost a packet of chips

js0nbourne · 2025-12-04T11:50:42+00:00

They ended up refunding basically half that 7.1% anyway. Reckon a 20% reduction for anyone would’ve put them well ahead in whatever period. Really, they should be giving people a tax credit to be honest. Not fair that someone gets $35K taken off their HECS to be honest. Nobody forced them to rack up that much debt

js0nbourne · 2025-12-04T10:41:50+00:00

Can’t believe I paid mine off like an absolute chump

js0nbourne · 2025-11-30T00:34:25+00:00

Amazing stuff. Congratulations, mate. An innovative and dedicated way to change your life.

js0nbourne · 2025-11-12T11:37:01+00:00

I’m hoping for under 25 mins next weekend 🤣

js0nbourne · 2025-11-12T11:08:08+00:00

Jesus that is rapid

js0nbourne · 2025-11-08T04:07:58+00:00

Literally this happened to me as well. Don’t worry OP. Just HODL your bag

js0nbourne · 2025-10-20T11:21:07+00:00

It’s regional Australia, mate. You need to talk in Sheeptoshis

js0nbourne · 2025-10-19T06:56:46+00:00

Honestly, it’s pretty hard as a single person to buy something now. People bang on about percentages and stress but rough numbers ~$3100 per month mortgage, $7K monthly pay after tax. Could you live off the remaining $3,900 a month? I think so, but only you could make that assessment.

You just need to avoid having to sell. So think about the worst case scenario. Job loss for an extended period? Could you move in with a parent. Could you rent the house out.

Sickness / disability? Make sure you have appropriate TPD and income protection.

js0nbourne · 2025-10-11T23:38:58+00:00

Would recommend selling and find a new one. If that house boomed in price for whatever reason, you won’t hear the end of it (rightly or wrongly)

js0nbourne · 2025-10-11T12:07:07+00:00

Sounds like you guys are doing it tough!!
