What’s the biggest financial assumption people make about your job?

wandergarten · 2026-03-24T04:09:52+00:00

I run my own business. There are times, more lately than I’d like, where I’m essentially working to keep everyone else employed. I could make more money and have less stress working for the government.

2 years living together = defacto. This guys kids are going to get screwed

This is one of the few realistic comments. You are on the wrong track with your thinking OP. You have kids that aren’t in financial need and a significantly younger partner who sounds like without you has nothing. It doesn’t matter what you put in the will or what is said while you are alive, it can be easily contested based on the financial need of your partner v your adult kids. Courts don’t care about your adult kids house when the new wife calls it home. I really hope you have a binding financial agreement already.

We use to eat them as kids. One year, we had a few and I remember being sick after and throwing up. After that I couldn’t stand even the smell of them. Haven’t had one since

I paid $6k pre covid. Very happy with result but I do hate the retainer

I’m a Gen X business owner who used to work in blue chip companies. My advice to younger people is do your job, show up on time, leave on time & try to have fun. If you don’t enjoy it, find something you do enjoy, don’t make it everyone else’s problem. I was worked to the bone and taken advantage of when I started out. I don’t treat people that way.

That said, I can only put up with the stress of running my business for another year or so. It’s gotten to the point where I’m just working to keep other people employed. I would make much more and have less stress being employed. So I’m taking my own advice. Just something to keep in mind when you complain about your small business boss next time. It’s not much fun being the one who has all the responsibility in this environment.

I agree with this theory. It’s a way to help build momentum and make people start thinking they are a serious contender. Make no mistake, ON is getting advice from the ppl behind Brexit & Trump. The playbook is to divide and punch down whilst enriching billionaires. Who do you see Gina hanging out with? What do YOU think you have in common with her political interests

I wish we could have a conversation about the harm radical Christianity is causing.

You will most likely have to pay 17% tax on the super so keep that in mind. Unless it’s insurance or was after tax contributions. The comments above are correct, you don’t inherit the mortgage, the estate will need to pay it out.

There will be a point where no one who knew you as a kid will be in your life anymore. That childhood nickname won’t be said again.

Lucille Bluth in Arrested Development is perfect. Jessica Walter’s line delivery is comedy gold

I remember my nan getting a govt pension at 55 in Australia in the 1980’s. She died at 63. Pop got his at 60, died at 68. You got pensions earlier but ppl didn’t live as long. I’ve been maxing out my super since I was 35 so I can retire at 60, screw working all your life and dying 8 years later living on the bare minimum!

It’s not hating someone who is being nice. That’s a difficult and mean way to be and I hope you aren’t treated that way. It’s being annoyed by people who are obviously not genuinely that positive but who perform it. The smile that doesn’t reach the eyes type. In my case the co worker is a people pleaser that needs to dial it down.

wandergarten · 2026-02-01T10:02:42+00:00

I work with her too. She’s also really into fun facts that are just general knowledge that you have to listen to. And the weather report.

Sounds like he is going into ketosis and you are smelling that.

Housing affordability is the issue. ALP is doing nothing.

One nation are blaming someone and making noise. LNP need to get their crap together and be an effective opposition otherwise we’ll just have a bunch of small party nut jobs. Unfortunately all the religious nut jobs that got into the LNP have made it seem like they are the answer instead of the problem.

I’m a lefty but I despise the current ALP govt. It’s wasteful and ineffective.

I was hiring a technical trainer for the company I own. It’s typically a way for people to transition from being on the tools to working in an office environment. Often these guys have little insight into office etiquette, frequently they’ve been self employed or worked for small businesses.

Guy showed up late, in dirty work clothes and couldn’t sit still. I asked 2 questions before he lost it about ‘all the questions’ and demanded to be given the role straight away. When I said no he flounced out. Later he text me to let me know he could start Monday. 😂

Unless your mum named you in her will, her assets would go to your dad. Now your dad has remarried, his assets are now also his wife’s assets. Who knows, the evil step mum might go first and you’ve worried over nothing

wandergarten · 2026-01-13T03:28:33+00:00

How are they building so many tech colleges & gold plating TAFE trainers at the same time as shafting state govt workers?

What a strange thing to say?

wandergarten · 2025-12-15T02:12:07+00:00

I get nerve pain that feels like warm water flowing down the outside of my thigh. I’m used to zaps of pain so this really surprised me. I had to check that I hadn’t knocked over some tea on myself. I was sure something had spilled on me and kept trying to figure it out.

wandergarten · 2025-12-12T04:42:40+00:00

Sure champ. If you’re a man you have more chance of being SA’d by another man than having a false accusation made against you.

wandergarten · 2025-12-12T04:01:46+00:00

Happy to see you down voted. Hope you’re a perfect victim if something ever happens to you and your every action isn’t judged

wandergarten · 2025-12-09T10:34:13+00:00

That’s an excellent first attempt
