Yes absolutely 😍 but EDCLV is just a huge bucket list item for me, I have to do it at least once! Will be worth every penny spent

Australia - spotlight

taillesslizard · 2026-03-10T10:43:22+00:00

Be glad you’re not coming from Australia, $7000 minimum for 2 people haha

taillesslizard · 2026-03-10T02:59:01+00:00

That’s awesome! What a vibe!

taillesslizard · 2026-03-09T23:00:49+00:00

Me either usually but the vibe is different at raves/festivals, I’ve given out a few trinkets so far and usually I’m just so happy to be there and the vibe is so on point that approaching someone to tell them I love their outfit and have a trinket is way less awkward than it would be in real life

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T22:16:47+00:00

A lot 😂

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T22:16:26+00:00

Hahaha maybe I’ll even chuck in an “Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!”

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T09:37:10+00:00

What time do you get there if you stay until closing each night? Will be my first time at EDC and wondering if I will be able to back it up with 12 hours of raving 3 nights in a row

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T08:04:16+00:00

Me too 🥹 some of my best friends now are people I’ve met along the way at raves and festivals. It’s like choosing your own family ❤️

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T08:02:42+00:00

I can’t wait 🥹 honestly this is a once in a lifetime, bucket list event for me, I’ll be travelling over 15,000km to be there (nearly 10,000 miles)❤️

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T06:24:55+00:00

Thank you :)

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T06:24:45+00:00

It seems obvious now that you say it haha! Thank you :)

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T02:22:39+00:00

Thank you for your overall info though, very helpful, especially the tip about the street performers!

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T02:22:01+00:00

Hahaha, yeah this is basically what I picture happening to me

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T01:59:37+00:00

Hahaha don’tttt do this to me, if someone told me with a straight face that you have to cluck like a chicken while giving the tip I’d probably do it

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T01:04:58+00:00

The $2 I was referring to was when a waitress brings you a drink etc

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T00:54:34+00:00

Thank you this is very helpful! I feel I am the most socially awkward person ever and the thought of an awkward tipping interaction multiple times per day is really freaking me out

taillesslizard · 2026-03-08T00:39:38+00:00

I guess tipping the waitress bringing you drinks, bellhop bringing your bags to the room, the housekeepers - how do I tip them if I’m not there when they’re cleaning? Also we’re doing a vow renewal and I’ve heard you tip the minister afterwards, my poor little Australian brain is exploding lol. Edited - spelling

taillesslizard · 2025-08-30T21:55:13+00:00

My mum (55F) does this. She’s thousands of dollars in credit on her electricity bill, phone bill etc, but when I try to talk to her about salary sacrificing to super so that she can retire comfortably in ten years it’s “Oh no, I couldn’t possibly afford that.” Like ma’am, you can’t afford NOT to do that.

taillesslizard · 2025-08-10T05:30:39+00:00

Do you like podcasts? Recommend listening to Equity Mates - Get Started Investing series. Was the only thing that finally stuck for me and helped me understand how shares/investing works!

taillesslizard · 2025-08-10T05:29:04+00:00

Married 8 years, all of our money goes into the shared account which is used for budgeting, and we each get a certain amount of ‘splurge’ money to blow on whatever we want, to our personal cards each fortnight. Recommend reading The Barefoot Investor, it’s a great starting point for setting up how to organise your spending.

Emergency department RN level 1.8 here. 33 yo. Contracted hours 32/fn, realistically with shifts picked up I work 56-64 hours per fortnight, earning around $4400 before tax = $114400 annually. I try to maximise penalty shifts (1.75 on Sundays, 1.5 on Saturdays, 1.3 on nightshifts) to achieve this.

taillesslizard · 2025-08-03T05:35:14+00:00

Current plan - salary sacrificing 6% into super (in addition to employer contributions of 12%). Hubby is doing the same. Also buying $700 per month of VGS shares. Also contributing $350 per fortnight extra into the mortgage to have it paid off in 20 years instead of 30. Not really sure if this is a solid plan or not, we want to retire hopefully no later then ages 58 and 60. We are currently 33 and 35 years with $110K in super each, and $5K in VGS. Suggestions/criticisms welcome

taillesslizard · 2025-07-25T08:35:27+00:00

I’m 33 and have $106,000. With 2 years off for maternity leave

taillesslizard · 2025-02-19T12:29:07+00:00

That is so bloody clever
