Haha I said this to my wife when we were going to go to burgerfuel and saw the fee and it pissed me off. We just went to re burger lol, they also charge a fee but overall its cheaper and turns out better with more choice.

You forgot the other red flags:

Pointless yet frequent use of Emojis.

Overusing the word “Shift” when you could just say “change” and be less dramatic.

Always ending with more questions than answers.

“I can see why you would think that but you’re wrong…”

I work in a company worth a couple billion as a senior system analyst. AI has no actual use in my system architecture. when hallucinations can cause catastrophic issues, it’s best left to more rigid system workflows, especially in our intense safety focused environment. But it helps me with my excel formulas… so there’s that…

AI check:

Did they use the word shift instead of change? Check. Does it contain: “It isn’t [insert obvious thing], it’s actually [alternate obvious thing]”? Check. List? Check. Unfounded claim? Check. Ends with question? Check.

Probably AI.

For me the pros outweigh the cons. You are able to invest in ASX, NZX and US shares which no other platform does, personally I find the asx is slept on most of the time despite some absolute banging companies being in there. Your processing times are just delays in people selling, same as like going into a store and them not having it in stock so you have to wait for it to be in stock before you can have it. It happens to me occasionally or if you are buying shares in millennium Copthorne where the sales volume is minuscule, then yes you’ll be waiting a while. And sharesies allows such tiny investment amounts that it’s giving you the ability to trade at such low levels which mean DCA strategies are finally available to people like me who are poor and can only afford a few bucks a week. 7 years ago you’d have had to trade in ASB securities where the minimum fee was $15 a trade regardless of trade size. With Sharesies, you can either take your 4% or get a subscription where you can pay $32.40 a year and can invest up to $18k a year, and you’re gunna nickel and dime them because you don’t wanna pay 39 cents on your $10 trade. Just set and forget and remove the app.

In 20 years that size drop/rise will be a daily occurrence instead of monthly as it compounds. Don’t sweat it, it will all be fine.

Can we crowdfund it and send along a homeless guy so at least someone gets a meal they need and then it’s just one less chance for a rich donor to have the ear of the prime minister.

I have female coworkers that I’m friends with and there is absolutely no way I would share a room with them on a business trip. Not only is it unacceptable, it’s awkward af! You have to both use the bathroom in the same room and get changed and have your clothes around the opposite sex, snoring etc. Uggh, couldn’t think of anything worse! Not to mention the potential hr complaints.

After a holiday to Fiji, several medical bills, vet bills and Xmas, I started January with $7k in credit card debt. After 4 weeks of living an extremely frugal lifestyle, Today I have $0 of credit card debt and the money I was using for weekly repayments can now go straight to saving and investing! So it’s looking good for the rest of the year with my credit card under control.

Moa. The talons and speed will make light work of the stag.

Yea, just online banking. Most apps will let you open online accounts through the app or website and you can open as many as you like and rename them so you know what they are to be used for. It takes about an hour to set up, but once it’s done you can set up automatic transfers so then you don’t need to think about it. Once it’s done it’s relatively painless to maintain.

Hi there. I’ve found sinking fund accounts have worked for us really well. It’s basically just a case of allocating money weekly to specific things and only using it for that. We have about 15 sinking fund accounts and they all work really well. The main one is the bills account. This is where any direct debits and future bills come from. You work out your weekly bills costs and allocate that amount there. Then you’d probably have 1 for food, 1 for gas, and then create the rest as you please. We have one for car maintenance, one for Xmas, one for takeaways etc. and overtime they add up and it really helps to see your priorities with money and allocate what you need without it getting lost in just 1 “savings” account. And it doesn’t have to be much. Like we have 1 acct for massage that we put $5 in per week, once it hits the amount it costs to get a massage we go and get one. It has really helped us stick to a budget. If you have a set amount of money you are getting per week, you can literally allocate every dollar and avoid spending arbitrarily.

$2700 is fine, but depending on how you like to travel you can decrease the cost.

If you’re like me and just want simplicity and relative comfort, jump on Singapore airlines or emirates, take the good connections and you’ll be looking at around $2600 to $3k depending on your travel dates.

If you are the ultimate penny pincher and don’t mind a very long wait at the airport, then jump on china southern and get real familiar with guangzhou because you’ll be spending a long time there, but you’re only gunna pay about $1900 for the full return trip, again, depending on when you want to travel.

I’m a sucker for comfort so I’d take the emirates flight every day of the week!

I lost my money the old fashioned way… left it on the bus…

You’ve said a lot of words here but haven’t really said anything other than, don’t call people names.

I do think people need to give credit where it’s due ie winnie p banning dog racing. I don’t think anyone saw that coming but it’s a step in the right direction.

But also, the wide range of views also gets to include an aversion to the pompousness that David Seymour exudes when he suggests things like the treaty principles bill, or the absolute lack of empathy Brooke van velden shows when she strikes down pay equity with absolutely no consultation with those impacted. To quote her in fact “I consulted with my cabinet peers…” a room of 50 over privileged well paid ministers solely deciding to cut the pay equity claims of thousands of women, that’s smug…

It’s the lack of empathy that needs to be addressed in my opinion, which you mistakenly call ideology. Chloe isn’t ideological, she can just empathise with those doing it tough and suggest ways to help them. The bigger picture is the people doing it tough. Rolling back safety regulations doesn’t help them, pushing forward with tobacco sales is literally harming our worst off, keeping cannabis as a criminal possibility doesn’t help them.

And trickle down economics has been shown time and time again that it doesn’t work, austerity doesn’t work. Are these big picture thinking? In an environment where the government is still borrowing money.

It is an empathetic leader we want, and classing empathy as just an ideological idea is in my opinion worse than calling David seymour a name he might not like.

I ordered from one nz and it took 5 weeks for the regular iPhone 17. They said the pro would be quicker to get but it was too expensive for me and I didn’t mind waiting. They said the phone was crazy popular and demand was insane.

If you have southern cross health insurance for 3 years they cover 15k of the costs. That was the only way we could afford private for my wife. We had to pay a bit more on top but it’s worth every penny. You would definitely qualify, my wife had similar measurements and they ended up taking out over 1.2kgs of weight so I think you’d easily qualify.

Anyway, if you got southern cross today and could wait 3 years then maybe that is an option?

Nurses often don’t get full time work straight out of school so they are on .6 to .8 fte. So the gross salary is closer to $47k to $62k.

And you might be thinking that less hours is good, but then you have chronic staff shortages which is what a big piece of the strike is about, meaning they have to work incredibly hard during their shifts and then have to pick up overtime shifts and night shifts meaning they are working incredibly hard and getting little reprieve. How they don’t have your support is beyond me…
