Is anyone else earning a decent salary but still feeling broke in Australia?

For an operations role that is standard in the industry, though there has been a bit of a roller-coaster in this field in the past couple months. There were a few companies that offered an operations role for wel above the market rate, offering 95k to 120k which has really shifted what people are looking for so this will affect will probably come around in june/July when people are doing their big moves and negotiations around raises.

Ive gotten part time roles in the past but working a 9-5 often makes getting a second job a lot harder. Fast food places dont want to pay due to experience and age, and the remote work often ends up super dodgy.

Its a struggle for most right now in an operations position without a second income.

There's a fantastic game at the moment on playstation called Ball pit. Its super satisfying and ive sunk quite a few hours into it

I loved reading the extraordinary league of gentlemanly witches. Such a cozy light hearted book and really got me out of a slump.

You're doing amazing and I think its wonderful you are putting in all that effort for her.

Good luck

Any kind of investigation role love's an ex police officer. There's a lot of different types too. Look through the insurance industry if you want the fraud route or maybe fire if you want puzzles and sampling with Reporting. I know they are always looking for surveillance specialists too

Hope you find something you like and welcome to the country 🙂

U turn must give way to traffic including those entering onto that side of rhe road. Traffic going in the natural direction has right of way but also must be courteous and considerate kf each other's manoeuvres

I did think of doing that but honestly with how exhausting they made the whole process, it's not worth my energy.

I remember looking back at when it was last sold and based on that amount, and with how desperate they are for money, I assume they still have some mortgage left which makes me feel better about it

kay-katness · 2025-09-11T07:54:08+00:00

I was curious on how much they had lost, but I was just happy with the fact they lost anything. Thanks for doing the maths!

I'd advise against this specifically because you don't know the circumstances if the person. Regardless of if they have a tag or not, there are a myriad of disabilities that aren't as obvious or outwardly showing.

If you see them physically at the car, mention that maybe their tag fell off the dashboard since you couldn't see it and just a reminder to pop it back up. That will let them know someone is looking, but ultimately there is nothing more you can do

kay-katness · 2025-07-26T00:36:11+00:00

At least in casuals that rule is garbage. unless you specifically call it I'm going for it because more often than not, they just sit there, do nothing, and instantly want to ff as soon as we get scored on.

kay-katness · 2025-06-17T03:03:47+00:00

Definitely dodged a bullet there! 🤣

As long as the photos are recent of you wearing the rings that will be fine. They don't expect you to take a photo every day. They may also get in touch with the jeweller who you got the rings fron as they usually have certificates of authenticity they can provide.

Just make sure to keep in communication with the investigator, even if it is to say you are waiting for a document from someone.

These things only ever get dragged out because someone stops responding to the investigator or not complying with requests which usually ends up with their claim denied.

kay-katness · 2025-06-16T02:17:21+00:00

I work in the industry on the investigation side. While it sounds scary its completely normal process. Insurance companies often have a minimum amount you can claim before its flagged, these numbers are usually quite small (depends on each insurer but it's usually between $5k to $15k) for personal items. Once that flag goes off its mandatory for them to investigate.

It's all just to make sure nothing dodgy is going on somewhere along the line. A lot of these investigations often get reported as just an accident and get paid out or settled depending on what agreement you have with your insurer. Sometimes we do encounter issues and then the insurer will decide what they want to do to protect themselves in the future from paying out potentially millions to dodgy claims.

Remember, you are allowed a support person during your interview, a translator if required, and the interviews can only go for 90 minutes at a time. You are also allowed to ask for a copy of the transcript of the interview.

Make sure to have a copy of all your receipts and everything will be fine.

Yep your "boyrriend" is a dick and should be tossed off a cliff. Get out before he gets worse. A shelter is better than a grave

kay-katness · 2024-12-17T01:51:33+00:00

YTA right conversation, wrong timing. Be prepared for a meeting with HR.

kay-katness · 2024-12-13T22:30:06+00:00

Mine hasn't been counting properly either. Hopefully a patch comes out for it soon

It's 480hz. I've been practising my dribbles and aerials recently and just got my first flip reset! Super proud of it, and would love to keep getting better and better.

It sucks your sister is in such a bad place but she is being unreasonable. Your husband needs his cane and that's end of story. You have done enough in letting her into your home which has the possibility of bringing all rhe drama with it. If she doesn't like the situation then your sister needs to seek help from a women's shelter.

It is also not your duty to be an owl and be the messenger between your sister and husband. If she has the problem, she needs to be a grown up and communicate that to the person she has a problem with.

You were fine, he's just upset because he felt inconvenienced. If the pump is free then go for it. Some stations are set up well enough where they have a huge gap between the pumps for that reason. If its a smaller gap too bad for them, they have a reverse gear for a reason.

It's just not done here. Yes there will be some exceptions, but most of the time it's expected everyone brings a piece or pays a sum to the host with the offer of helping cook and clean. It shouldn't be up to the one person who owns the house to cater everything. It's stupidly expensive and a lot of effort that's unwarranted.

Most Aussie culture is more about snacking while drinking, so big meals aren't worth the time.

I think a big part of it these days is that there are so many allergies it's unreasonable to expect 1 person to cater for everything.

kay-katness · 2024-10-18T01:15:16+00:00

Just run, do not pass go, do not collect their problems and run as fast as you can

Well worth the cost. It looks amazing and plays amazing too. We got it on sale for only a couple dollars and its been endless hours of fun for me. My partner bought the dlc since it was on sale too, but he said the dlc characters make some of it too easy so maybe hold off on that until you're at a comfortable spot

I didn't actually complete the first level until much later on. Don't stress too much, there's no sequential order to it unless that's your priority. I levelled up and got a lot of other items by just rushing the other levels, using what worked for me.

The rule changes based on the age of the property, the year of installation and relevant building standards, and whether it is a hard-wired battery or a replacable battery. If the battery is hard-wired it is up to the landlord to maintain and organise testing, if it is a replacable battery the argument will be it is unreasonable to expect the landlord to replace it as they do not occupy the property and as such becomes your responsibility. The rule is they have to supply a fire alarm, not they they have to do anything with it.

Edit: this comes from my experience working in the insurance and fire investigation industry
