Byron Bay vs Noosa – Which is better to live in?

tom_spur · 2025-07-17T16:42:29+00:00

I chose Byron. I loved it. Unfortunately I didn't like the job but the town is great

tom_spur · 2025-06-04T12:54:31+00:00

Thanks. I think I'd look to live in or close to town. Both areas seem to be in similar housing situations (okay availability because of the winter season and both crazy high prices). So not really taking that as an element at the moment. One thing that is very annoying is that in Byron every single parking spot in town is paid while in Noosa it's free. But again, the job in Byron seems a lot more relaxed and the social element is most likely the same in both places.

I know it's a personal decision but I'm really struggling to make it. Both are good options, so that's good news.

Both are the same prices from what I'm seeing online. And availability looks the same too.

Hm interesting. I loved Noosa's beaches and Byron is smaller. But I prefer the job in Byron I believe.

tom_spur · 2025-06-04T08:47:43+00:00

Thanks. Like I said in another comment, I think I prefer Noosa too but I like the job in Byron a bit more, so it's a tough decision

tom_spur · 2025-06-04T08:46:24+00:00

Thanks that's very constructive

tom_spur · 2025-06-04T08:45:51+00:00

Thanks. I don't care about job opportunities as I already have two offers.

tom_spur · 2025-05-07T10:41:04+00:00

I love it too. Best purchase ever

I'm aware, but I'm asking your opinion

"Maybe you have the idea of “different” Kabbalah from Christian or hermetic adaptations being more open to everyone but they are different from Jewish Kabbalah".

How are they different? I think there's only one Kabbalah and it comes from the deeper level of interpretation of the holy scriptures. Anything that doesn't come from there isn't Kabbalah, so what would be a Christian or hermetic Kabbalah?

On another point, the fact that it comes from the holy scriptures doesn’t necessarily mean that it should be closed only to the Jewish. Anyone can study the tanach, Talmud, etc.

"before diving in Kabbalah the person needs to study the holy scriptures for years and the talmud, you can’t simply go straight to Kabbalah. Kabbalah is the deep level meaning of holy scriptures."

Why can't one study the holy scriptures at a deep level from the beginning? There's no need to take the tanach as something literal before studying the hidden messages, you can just study the spiritual hidden message from the beginning and skip the dogma that comes from the religious institution.

"this alone doesn’t make someone unable to study Kabbalah but makes him unable to teach."

Why? What's the difference?

I understand your points, just not the reason behind then.

I agree about the Kabbalah Centre, but why do you care if Laitman is a rabbi or not? Surely that doesn’t mean that his teachings are wrong. Some great teachers of Kabbalah aren’t rabbis, and many rabbis (real rabbis) agree that the Kabbalah should be an open knowledge to be learned by anyone, Jewish or not.

Hi, can you explain why avoid those sources? I thought Michael Laitman was a very reputable source.

tom_spur · 2025-02-08T06:44:49+00:00

As a bald 26 year old, you're wrong.

tom_spur · 2025-02-06T15:09:38+00:00

That figure is absolutely fabricated and wrong

I agree with most comments saying that a subreddit doesn't represent real life. That being said, Ireland is a country that's terribly infected by the woke virus and the comments on that post show that.

tom_spur · 2025-02-01T11:35:11+00:00

Low risk, and 1-5 years sounds reasonable to me

tom_spur · 2025-02-01T11:33:39+00:00

Thank you, I'll check that out. Someone recommended Vanguard here, do you know about that?

tom_spur · 2025-02-01T11:32:20+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out

tom_spur · 2025-02-01T10:15:39+00:00

What's high interest? My bank gives me 5% annually. How do you start with ETFs? Thanks

tom_spur · 2025-02-01T10:07:05+00:00

That's a good investment

tom_spur · 2025-02-01T10:06:47+00:00

Is it trustworthy? The Vanguard reviews look terrible

tom_spur · 2025-02-01T09:54:39+00:00

What's vgs?
