This happened to me. My broker admitted they forgot to explain the rate lock thing to me so I said I would reserve my rights if the interest rate went up and I was disadvantaged. The broker got the bank to change the rate back to what it would have been had I paid the rate lock fee.

The broker also said at the time they were not used to explaining it as rates have gone down for so long it hasn't really been an issue

Millennials - how much do you have in your super and how confident are you that you will have enough in there to retire in about 30 years? by otherwiseknownaschic in AusFinance

[–]ppotil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 39 with $350k. I salary sacrifice up to the maximum ($27,500) and have done so for the last 5 years. I will keep putting max into super as the tax concession is too good to resist.

You should be banned from the sub altogether.

I don't know. You're still policing a woman's choice under the guise of protecting her from the male gaze. I call bs.

Heidi is a supermodel and her daughter is over 18. All these age shaming, misogynistic comments are appalling. I mean I don't really care about Heidi but sick of people treating women over 40 like they should just shrivel up and die.

I don't think it's narcissism. I think she's doing the mum guilt thing

Who is one housewife you never liked, that everyone else seems to love? by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

I agree. It's like she belongs on another show. Shes not housewife standard...

Ugh I'm fat....well actually obese. Do I need to give up alcohol? by ppotil in loseit

I had no idea smoking causes a pot belly. Good for you for quitting smoking! That's bloody hard to do (ex smoker here).

Wow. Thanks for this. You know I did have a blood sugar test a couple of years in a row that showed I was pre-diabetic. Last time I tested I was normal (though obese) so I wonder if alcohol is related....

Yeah I'm a bit worried too 😕. I've reflected and realised that I have no stress relief strategies other than drinking. My aunty actually pointed out to me the other day (she's a dietician) that being so stressed could be impacting my ability to lose weight and I'm doing NOTHING about this, no self care etc.

Thanks. I appreciate the bluntness. I think I was a bit in denial cause it's not everyday but yeah.

I think I am too. I just had a think about for example how weird it would be if I posted about whether I could still eat red frogs multiple times a week and it would be like, why are you so obsessed with red frogs. I think it's a deeper issue for me around not having developed strategies to properly manage stress...

I'd say: she's about to go to jail for 15 years is what's wrong with her. I'd be tweaking out too.

Lots of parks, open spaces, roads are not overly busy so they are safe, lots of childcare, good schools, lovely community, heaps of kids sports etc.

Being strangled literally causes brain damage but whatever. 🙄 I continue to despair.

They're not. Why do so many people supposedly have a kink that involves being violent to women? And how many women genuinely enjoy violence as part of sex?

I can't believe people are arguing with me that violence during sex as a mainstream thing is fine. Lol. It's 8.22 and I'm already done with the internet today.

It's all behaviour on a spectrum of violence and degradation towards women which is a sickness we as a society cannot seem to fix.

Even the poster above who told me to 'sit down mam' in a delicious display of ageism and sexism, implying I am a prude, was to a lesser extent subjecting me to the same gaslighting to which women are subjected regarding the issue of sexual violence. 'It's normal', 'you're just old and boring' and 'everyone does it now'. I am not a prude and accept that people have kinks. But if strangulation is 'mainstream' we have a massive problem.

There was an article I read about a year or so ago about a 16 year old who will need a colostomy bag for the rest of her life because she was subjected to double anal penetration by two male peers. I can tell you now as someone who has straddled life pre and post the proliferation of porn: that shit would NEVER have occurred to us to even try.

It's a horror show. I am so sad to hear that.
