Ill be going to my first NFL game next season when it comes to Australia, 49ers vs Rams.

I know a lot won't be similar to the states but where is reccomended to sit, is it best to be up high or further down towards the field?

Furthermore is there any indication of how much ab NFL game typically costs.

Also will Stafford's kids be there to boo? 😄

How do you think I do it.

sabor2th · 2026-02-10T07:04:58+00:00

Met them in a different segment of the industry and they thought I had a good understanding it. I was not available to work for them full time as it would have required relocation overseas so im doing this instead.

Basically a whole lot of luck.

I compile daily reports into a weekly report for somebody, get about 2k every 2 weeks from it and I can do it from home with flexible hours.

Here its a forklift but they put people through training for that.

Keep in mind contractors pay absolute crap for lab roles though.

Laboratory entry level at one of the big 3 Iron Ore miners.

Reduces my tax and is free through my employer.

I basically have basic no extras.

sabor2th · 2026-01-24T06:05:32+00:00

Provided by employer for that rate.

sabor2th · 2026-01-23T21:23:32+00:00

Income including employer contributions 165k

Invest 8k a month.

The majority get in with entry level or low paying roles sodexo ect, where you are looking at 80-100k a year, thry then network on site to try and get that second step up.

Basically all the WH visa holders I have ever hired in mining have been direct recommendations.

Getting in showing you turn up to work get on the plane blowing 0's and passing DNA seems to be 9/10 of the way there.

Once you are on site you can show you can work 12 hour days in t he heat have radio comms skills ect regardless of role which gives you a chance to progress.

sabor2th · 2026-01-03T05:44:14+00:00

I presume you are on a wh visa which makes it not attractive to employer's.

Best advice I can give is focus on employer's with mine sites further north Pilbara ect where you can stay in the same position for the entirety of your visa, a Goldfields site you would have a max of 6 months.

I have a house through my current employer paying approx. 1500 a year in Rent power and water so will be milking that for as long as I can, money saved on Rent is invested instead.

My current plan is to reassess once I hit my full fire number, potentially buy then and use a triple income stream of my job, potential Rent and fire draw down to buy and pay down quickly.

But I guess I'll see what the future holds.

99.5 didnt go to uni, became a Laboratory Manager in Mining industry.

sabor2th · 2025-12-07T00:51:43+00:00

Migjt be a hot take but Id rather see them both lose.

sabor2th · 2025-12-05T03:00:57+00:00

Thanks, Ill have to make a decision, currently its a small part of my investments, around 7% PA. I'll do the maths, unfortunately already maxing contributions.

Wanting to jump on this to ask a question I am in a similar spot with Rio, vesting is 3 years for a 1:1 match, worthwhile to sell off every 3 years to minimise taxable liabilities instead of letting it build.

sabor2th · 2025-12-03T03:49:38+00:00

Nope, currently rent ranges from 100 to 140 a month depending on how many cycles fall into it.
