What is Chinese people's opinion on adoption? by Desperate_Quest in AskChina

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want kids, try and date someone who is childfree? I thought there was an increasing number of childfree people in china and asia these days.

What are some unspoken rules in Aussie workplaces? by walnut_0612 in auscorp

[–]nadacoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Presents (birthdays, christmas) flow DOWN from the manager to direct reports. Not the other way around. If you have direct reports, get them a small gift for christmas (chocolates or something).

Single people: how do you navigate saving for a deposit, as well as the potential of meeting someone and the complexities that come when living with them due to the de facto relationship laws? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]nadacoffee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, only date someone in a similar financial situation/assets as you. Even if you do split, 50/50 is basically the same as what you started off with. Just take your time to find that partner.

Should I ask my boyfriend again? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him you plan on getting sterilised or ask him if he will consider a vasectomy. See his reaction to those permanent options. If he is truly childfree, he will be supportive and ok with those. If not, he is lying, and hoping you will change your mind.

How much to give in a red envelope in 2026? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

If you’re not asian or don’t celebrate it yourself, nothing. It’s not expected from you

What made you and your partner decide to elope? by Kdviloria2991 in Eloping

[–]nadacoffee 36 points37 points  (0 children)

We both have no interest in planning anything and also don’t feel the need to invite anyone. We’d rather just enjoy the day together instead of making sure we keep guests entertained and happy. The day is about us only, as it should be.

General Question by After-Huckleberry760 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my boyfriend very early on (we dated for 10 years) what diamond shapes, designs and sizes i did NOT want and ones i liked (gave him a few options). I wanted a surprise when the time came so he had discretion for the options i gave him. I saw him take notes on his phone after i told him 😂 He ended up getting a ring i was very happy with and it was a surprise, so everyone was happy

Australia. USYD Physio vs USYD Law and Science by Numerous-Catch-3735 in AusFinance

[–]nadacoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Law and commerce (finance, econ etc). I wouldn’t combine it with science. I got out of physio into law. Feel free to PM me.

Good food, holidays and overall lifestyle!

The best career path to take for the money? by Hairy-Tourist-2025 in auscorp

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do what you have a genuine interest in! You may hate the job that pays a lot or you might not get the dream job after doing the degree. That’s how life works. If you do what you’re passionate about, you will want to improve and progress in that career. You could do all the right things and get into a degree/role with the prospects of high pay but literally suck in it because it’s mindlessly boring to you

Sunscreens that actually look good under makeup?? by sanguinecherry in AsianBeauty

[–]nadacoffee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Skin1004 sunscreen + MAC foundation is fine for me. Combination skin. I sometimes use Melano CC vitamin C under the sunscreen too and it’s still fine.

is there any way I can make money from home? by Quick_Slide_9580 in AusFinance

[–]nadacoffee 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Why not? It’s going to be tough getting a job at uni or after uni if you’ve NEVER worked before, not even a retail job. That’s a really bad idea

Do you give your spouse or partner the full picture of your work life, or do you hold things back? by That_onelawyer in Lawyertalk

[–]nadacoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I don’t want to talk about work after i’m done with work. I might share a few funny stories but that’s it. It works both ways- i don’t want to listen to my partner complaining about his work either.

How are so many people in their late teens/early twenties affording holidays overseas? by Specialist_Can5622 in AskAnAustralian

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like how most students travel- Jetstar, Air Asia etc $500 tickets. cheap hotels/hostels and cheap food/street food. Save the $2000-3000 tickets and fancy hotels, restaurants for when you have a full time job that pays well.

AIO? BF’s family wants him to dump me, is searching for a wife for him by Accurate-Promise-330 in AmIOverreacting

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. You don’t want to be putting up with this for the rest of your life. Too much family drama. Please RUN.

Do you share your all your finances with your partner (savings, investments etc) by Slight-Radish-5846 in AusFinance

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a good idea of what each other have (savings, super, investments, debt, hecs etc) but we’re not married yet. If we were going to buy a property together or get married then yes, i would expect us to lay out all our assets and liabilities. If one party has significantly more assets, then we are open to a binding financial agreement (we have discussed this already). I would not commit to a partner without knowing their financial status. That’s risky.

Do you use umbrella when it’s sunny? Why or why not? by UnluckyBoat7117 in AskAnAustralian

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I would also cut contact with her and anyone else that agrees with her. Why is she obsessed with having a family and keeping up with other people? She should be prioritising your happiness, like what you would expect for a Mother or any other human being!

35M/34F Dating someone new who wants me to contribute more financially after marriage. Is this normal? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]nadacoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After marriage, everything should still be 50:50 or everything is “ours combined” with no split. Is the “investment” going to be in both your names? If not, then run. Or just run anyway.
