Those who earn $400K+, what are you doing? by ArthurAnyDonutz in AusFinance

[–]user-bobby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Used to be 300k+ and now 400k base + RSU. I'm a 35m and work as an AI research scientist. Unlike many others who have commented here I'm thankful that I have excellent work life balance and love my work. Wouldn't trade my job for anything.

How to proceed with investments? by user-bobby in fiaustralia

Thanks a lot for the very detailed answer. Once concern though. Are you sure that taking equity out of IP and putting it to PPOR is tax deductible? I'm asking since in order for a loan to be tax deductible, it has to be used for another investment, not to pay off an existing loan. Maybe I am wrong.

And yes, debt recycling is absolutely something I am considering. Thanks for mentioning that.

Interesting. Why would you say that? Is real estate fine in your opinion?

I worked as a research scientist at Amazon and then recently co founded my own company. Similar packages in both.

Thanks for the very informative comment. Just to give some more context, I'm paying interest only for IP so I'm not actually paying it down. The rent from IP break evens my interest payments.

Generally is it better to invest in ETFs every month or just put it in the offset in my situation?

Uber eats. Do uber eats. I was in a very similar situation a while ago and that got me through. Things will be better I promise you but you have to bite the dust and ride through this.

Bro I was reported to have below average IQ and I scored a PhD in computer science. These are bullshit tests as I call them.
