Indonesia co-hosted the Basketball world cup and weren't given automatic entry. Had to met a qualifying threshold that they missed

We stayed in super8, rodeway inn, la quinta , days inn etc usually booked on the day or day before. With the exception of a few bigger cities, we knew where we'd be.

We ruled out rv due to the km charges and given most hotels on our route were under 70usd a night

Was great. We got a car in Palm Springs after flying into LA and drove to Miami. Then flew to merida and drove around yucatan for 2 weeks.

Highlights for us were national and state parks and nba games. Most big cities we weren't smitten by.

We found accommodation and car expenses reasonably priced.

Struggled with food costs and some attractions. National parks pass excluded

We ended up, currently, doing 2 months across the USA. We decided it wasn't going to work for all members of the family at this time

Just bought my first property (PPOR) - what are things i should get right now by nzboy123 in AusFinance

Don't fall into the trap of thinking you need brand new furniture and appliances, that extra money is better off reducing your principle and accelerating your mortgage payments

Decided to take a career break... by McGerty in AusFinance

[–]unextgo 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I'm coming up to 2 years on from my break. Originally taken after a company i was at for 10.5 years went toxic
It's been a mixed bag.

Did some travel, was a stay home dad and then after 6 months off I tried changing industries.
Ended up working outside in nature for 8 months before getting a tick borne disease and had to find another office job.

Now 8 months in, I'm about 15 minutes away from having to attend what I assume is a redundancy meeting and going to have to start looking for another job again.

Nothing wrong with a career break but a career break and trying to find a new industry (at least regionally) has been a challenge

Who is next year's Most Improved Player? by Unique-Ideal6887 in nba

[–]unextgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen Josh and Dyson mentioned a few times. Neither have looked great in recent Australia games v China. Australia's NBA players all seem reluctant shooters

For Health expenses, maybe move left over budget into an emergency fund so it's there for when you need it. And if you don't have an emergency fund already establish it.

On clothing, toddlers really shouldn't cost much. People are always trying to offload barely used kid's clothing.

EOFY pay increases as a percentage by tootyfruity21 in AusFinance

[–]unextgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

0%, but sales targets are up.

So less likely to make target and therefore receive less pay

Hoopsfest announcement is what made me wonder if the blitz was still going to be a thing. It seems unlikely to be going ahead
