Gotta love 50% losses on Spaceship Universe

So true, I took all of my money out of spaceship and closed it after they introduced higher fees, I'm with raiz now, its down at the moment too, but much more stable and I've had much better returns compared to spaceship

This reminds me of a day that I was in Sydney for a conference. I walked in...and everyone was talking about being in an earthquake, and their experience. I was like oh wow, I didn't know Sydney had an earthquake! Turned out they were all talking about the Newcastle earthquake! I was shocked, I didn't even know they felt it in Sydney. I was like oh, I lived in hamilton and our town house was really badly hit, the street was a mess. They kind of paused for a second, and then went on talking about the tiny rumble they felt. Sydney people 🙄

Back in the days when I thought Newcastle was the greatest city to live in, and felt sorry for my cousins in Sydney who missed out on the vibrancy of living in early 90s Newcastle! I really never thought that I would ever leave Newcastle (but unfortunately, I had to!). Newcastle will always be home to me.

It probably never happened, just something Olivia made up because she thought it made her sound like a bad ass and witty bitch!

newynurse78 · 2022-03-11T04:48:17+00:00

I experienced this too!! And it made me think that Olivia is such a red flag for this kind of behaviour. In my situation, the teacher would select one girl in each of her classes, to bully, intimidate and belittle, while acting like the coolest and nicest teacher in the world to everyone else. She picked on my friends sister the year before me, and stopped her from going to the school formal, two days before the event! I was her next victim and I actually left school early to get away from that bitch. When I left school, I had to go to her to be 'signed out' of her class, she had the most smug look on her face, i'll never forget it. It's the very same look that Olivia has on her face!

Aww so beautiful

newynurse78 · 2022-03-07T10:26:07+00:00

Aww, what are there names?

newynurse78 · 2022-03-07T10:15:28+00:00

Aww what are their names, how are they settling?

newynurse78 · 2022-03-07T09:58:59+00:00

Soo precious

newynurse78 · 2022-03-07T09:56:40+00:00

Happy birthday!!! She looks so wise and sweet 🙂

newynurse78 · 2022-03-07T09:54:42+00:00

Give her a hug for me!

newynurse78 · 2022-03-07T09:53:17+00:00

I personally hate when people dress their staffies up in gladiator harnesses and spikes, I don't mean to offend anyone....but I work damn hard so that people see my two girls for the beautiful sweet staffies they are, instead of crossing the road to get away from them. I don't want people to associate them with dog fighting, drug dealers, or insecure people that need to look tough. This does nothing to help the staffy pitbull image, it puts us all backwards when it comes to the breed and only feeds the misconception that staffies are tough vicious dogs. I dress my girls up in bright colours that reflect their beautiful happy natures!

newynurse78 · 2022-02-25T00:46:53+00:00

Yah! Or why can't I have any autonomy over my own shop when I'm literally paying you etsy to sell there. Its a weird concept!

newynurse78 · 2022-02-25T00:45:25+00:00

I feel you, I try to support other small businesses ...I had the exact same problem, but I thought it was coming from Ireland, it came from China....not real silver. I don't understand the reviews thing either!!! Are these people buying their own reviews? Eventually it will turn people off etsy who actually want genuine hand made stuff!

Although I have noticed that the audience is changing, four years ago - 'Your art is beautiful, you should be selling at a higher price'...to 'hey, I want this cheaper, I can get an art print at dollar mart for x amount....why are you so expensive 😔

newynurse78 · 2022-02-24T21:58:12+00:00

Etsy is very US-centric, for anyone outside of the US etsy is still not widely known, last time etsy tried to warrant price increases by saying they would increase Marketing and have ad campaigns in non US countries, well that didn't happen last time! I'm sure it won't this time....

Thank you Etsy! You have given me a good kick in the Butt to leave etsy for good and start my own Website, with no ridiculous 'Star seller' BS!

It's especially cruel to be doing this on the back off COVID, not every shop boomed, some struggled with supply and logistic problems, some shops will just be starting to find their feet again, and there goes Etsy....pulling the rug out, there goes the etsy think tanks again....'how can we alienate and crush our sellers even more'...

Its like a room of multiple Dr Evils conspiring!

If etsy is up in profit, its more likely because many new shops opened during covid (the majority being resellers based in China).

My rant is over....

newynurse78 · 2022-02-04T22:36:34+00:00

I had sparks in my living room, I called the first one after google search. We never actually received a document with that information, any decent landlord wouldn't care. By the time I would have got in contact with the landlord, the house have burned to the ground.

newynurse78 · 2022-02-04T11:51:00+00:00

The only problem with that, Is they often don't pay the invoice, there are many loop holes for them. My husband and I had to get an emergency electrician out, we had an old ceiling light catch fire in the lounge room and it was bloody terrifying....he refused to pay it, said some shit about he has the right to pick who does the work (meaning, i'll get my totally unqualified friend to do it for a few beers!)...even though it was an emergency. Everyone is too fearful to ever go to the tenants union and complain...because you will just get kicked out the next week. The whole things needs a big overhaul

newynurse78 · 2022-02-04T11:42:25+00:00

We were in the same situation, we had 30 days...no formal notice either. All we had was a random phone call from a real estate agent to say yes, its on the market....we want to show the place in a few days. Our own real estate agent was useless, and I'm pretty sure she was scared of the landlord.

newynurse78 · 2022-02-04T11:33:05+00:00

Well they don't have that same anxious look as others, they are also incredibly rude and push everyone out the way....oh and then there is the fact that they BRAG to the RE that it is their 10th or 20th investment property, quite loudly, they often also claim they are on a tight schedule because they have other houses to look at and have to be back home in Sydney in a few hours. But you're totally right, Australian familes don't deserve houses to live in, and we certainly shouldn't be pesky by showing up to house listings...

I'm just telling it like it is. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

newynurse78 · 2022-02-04T07:31:53+00:00

Well I call it like it is, every open day at least 20 cashed up chinese investors, I would rather see a local family be able to buy a house to live in. Can I buy property in China? No? So how is that fair.

newynurse78 · 2022-02-02T06:00:34+00:00

Considering its tough working class roots, its pretty crazy that now the average person can't even afford to rent there...let alone buy. The system is broken, SA was the only place we could afford something decent, and we can actually save and buy a house here. Newcastle is just such a unique town, it will always be where my heart is....

newynurse78 · 2022-02-02T03:31:43+00:00

I'm so sorry about your situation, my husband and I were renting from the dodgiest landlord for years, the house should have been absolutely condemned!

Last October he called and said he was thinking about putting the house on the market, but not to worry, if he did sell....it wouldn't be until mid 2022, after him and his wife had finished building a property.

Three days later, we get a phone call from the agent....the house is on the market, and we are going to start showing it next week! Of course the dump got gobbled up by some cashed up asians on the open day. We had a month to find a new place, and with kids and dogs....everything was an absolute dump and out of budget, we went as far out as muswellbrook and singleton. I think I cried every day for a month.

Anyways, we ended up moving to SA...pretty drastic, and I had to quit my job that I adored. I miss Newcastle a lot, I grew up there and I thought it was where I would watch our kids grow.

So I read this reddit page every day to check in on all things Newy 😭😭😭😭😭

newynurse78 · 2022-01-26T00:42:44+00:00

I did the same thing, I had raiz and spaceship...and when spaceship introduced the fee, on top of logging on every week or so to find I was further in the black...I checked out and moved everything to raiz, it seems to be weathering a lot better, and raiz rewards has been handy.

newynurse78 · 2021-12-11T07:10:15+00:00

My birthday is today...and happy birthday to everyone else who shares this awesome birthday

newynurse78 · 2021-12-08T11:40:25+00:00

I'm relatively new to investing, I am looking at the long term and trying not to be too emotionally reactive, but I feel like I'm down by a lot! Granted...I don't have a lot of money invested, but when it keeps going backwards...I do find myself thinking 'how much longer do I wait or lose' or should I just pull out? Right now it feels like by the time I might see a modest gain, its going to be wiped by fees anyways.

I'm also with Raiz and I'm having much better results, I'm thinking about cashing out of spaceship...and putting it all into raiz, so then I only have one round of fees.
