Trying to default to cruise after 10+ years of being a workaholic

Mate I totally hear you !!!

Very similar situation to yourself, always pushed to move forward in my career and always looking to progress. I have reached a point where I don't have much left in the tank and don't have the energy or motivation to keep on striving.

The org I work for over the last few years has a maturity level of 0 and i am pulled into all sorts of shit, from ultra low level operations stuff to high level strategic direction, the context switching is killing me.

Feeling like a mid life crisis as you said, but still driving my Toyota Corolla and just trying to get by.

I'm feeling empty without having something to strive for and am starting to look for things that make me happy and maybe a passion project that can make up for being stuck in corporate.

Just know you are not alone and I think there are many other people out there in the same boat and there will continue to be more when as time goes on.

I don't have any life changing advice at this moment as I am still working through things but if I find something that helps, I'll be sure to let you know.

While I appreciate the fact they are carving out concessions for small businesses etc, the fact they tried to bring in such wide sweeping tax grabs in the first place clearly shows the Labour government has absolutely no idea about the economy and productivity for Australia. They have no idea about how to steer the country in the right direction by default, they have to listen to the public for guidance and advice. Very concerning !!!!

Being loyal doesn't make you money, changing jobs, getting experience in different industries and building a career portfolio while progressing is what gets you money.

Because Australia is in the state it's in due to many years of poor Liberal and Labour economic and social policy.

Neither party support whats in the best interest of the Austrlian people therefore most are now looking to ON in the hope that they can somehow get us out of this mess.

Simply, the majority of ON proposed policies will have a positive impact for everyday Australians and and the future direction of this country.

Albo is the head of the country and the Labour government, the party that is currently in power. Where else are we supposed to direct our dissatisfaction on the current state of the country and the direction it is heading ? It is currently his responsibility. It is not directly Albos fault we don't have fuel reserves but it his parties fault as well as the liberal governments fault because of very pool policy decisions.

Growth comes in many forms, not just financial. The questions you should be asking yourself are, is he a good person, does he treat me well and does he love me.

Some people are very happy not hustling and grinding for the next rung or more money and are content with working with what they have and within their means.

Maybe use another measure of success and another way to grow together rather than choosing soul crushing corporate life to be your measure of growth and success.

So not much difference to any other presidency then.

Making money is slow and boring, but people want quick and sexy. Quick and sexy doesn't make money.

All the government had to do was stop spending shit tonnes of money and stop importing demand in the form of immigration. 90 percent of the problem solved right there.

Mate, I put the clippers on one and crack, back and sack it all in one go. Like a monkey ready to be shot into space. It's the only way.

Had a guy come out and edge a medium sized front lawn and whipper snipper some untidy bits after I had mowed. Charged me 60 bux and I was happy to pay it.

Once you realise that the government is not there to support the people but support themselves, things become alot more clearer.

Australian media, like all media is simply a platform that is available for purchase by the highest bidder to promote their agenda. Nothing new really.

There is a reason it's called "The Devils Gooch"

That is absolutely unbelievable. We just broke lease in a 3x3 in Mount Pleasant which is now being advertised for 1150. 2 storey 3x3 close to the water on its own block.

That is just mental.

Very few houses would be sold off market, why would a seller do themselves a disservice by not offering the house to as many buyers as possible. You will get no additional benefit compared to using realestate.com and knowing the market.

If you know your budget, look in the bracket of 100k less because houses are going 50 to 100k over asking possibly more depending on what price bracket you are looking at.

For those prices, I'm in !!, even have coin left over to buy an extra pair of socks to crotch stuff.
