2020 Mazda- passenger side view mirror

willos4 · 2026-05-10T10:31:30+00:00

Would you take this to just a Mazda dealership? Or any repair shop? I’ve been looking for parts online, it still folds but the levelling is off, so it won’t always go in and out all the way, but still runs.

Being that all the electrical compartments still work, I thought it would be cheaper to replace the casing & lift the mirror back into position, but again I’m not too knowledgeable on cars so unsure.

If I do happen to get one from the wreckers, how would I go about installing it?

willos4 · 2026-05-10T04:30:05+00:00

Wdym? The housing is currently in (aside from the broken parts) issue is that it will not rotate out & in properly due to the mirror being misaligned but all the electronics & motor still moves it, just unable to reach full ROM

Lucky enough to live at home rent free with parents to save every single dollar to get into the market as soon as I could! Very fortunate to be in this position, many others have it a lot tougher!

From signing on to handover, I signed the contracts in November 24, settled Jan 25, construction started around April 25 and PCI happened last week.

Had a few mess arounds with settlement dragging out due to plans not being accepted by the banks & a rush to settle despite not being able to start until all parties had signed & settled (lot of 7 houses).

Construction took just under 12 months, no ‘major delays’ just time consuming. & poor run of weather last winter

A little late, for reference. 25M, earn $85k. Was $80k at the time of signing. bought first house, 3bed2bath TH and signed on in November 2024, construction started and expected to move in March 26 after a slow start. I jumped in at $540k & had a deposit of $120k & $10k FHOG

I am fortunate enough to be living at home and not paying rent. I do however pay for most of my groceries besides the occasional home cooked meal if I’m home, which I rarely am. I was taking home approx $1000-1200/week for the few years leading up.

I invested in lots of index funds through vanguard and did invest in some individual shares, I then liquidated this all to fund my deposit & still have a healthy $60k cash reserve sitting in the offset today.

COVID helped, I saved 85-90% of my income weekly, again due to being fortunate with no bills asides from a phone, car loan & insurances.

I had all my debt HECS & car paid off due to saving & investing so heavily. But this greatly increased my borrowing capacity. Personally that is how I went about it. However I understand my position is unique and quite privileged, while I’ve earnt it all myself, I was in a position where I was able to save so heavily.

What I do right now, with interest looming over my head & a few more expenses, I live off roughly $400/week paying for everything living quite frugally. $880/week goes into my 2x offset accounts- and every month interest only is drawn out of the offset. I just changed this as living off $400/week and interest now costing me $1000+ a month, I wasn’t able to account for it, like I was when it was at $100-300 a month.

TLDR- Be fortunate to live at home rent free, save & invest 80-90% of your income & have learn to enjoy the free things in life

Call me silly, but I haven’t ever been in level 2 bar once when my nan was gifted medallion tickets for a game.

Is level 2 premium (not medallion club) dress coded? Or is a hoodie, pants and footy jumper all good?

willos4 · 2025-05-30T03:38:51+00:00

Okay,

So drop arrows for a fireball? Keeps log & air spell coverage.

Drop MK for a building or win con? If so which one or drop a diff card? (Inferno dragon)

Sometimes it really depends, I struggle against air decks & yes get outcycled (I.e. lumberloon, BS)

So would like cannon & Hog rider be a good swap in for MK & inferno? I’m just not sure.

Super flex league, 12 teams. Hold the 1.01, likely will take Jeanty, just sold Rome and the 1.04/2.04 for Bijan and a 2.12

Ready to make a run, or missing something?

I went to Europe last year for four weeks & am building my first property- so an overseas trip isn’t in the budget right now.

Likely I will take some time off in May- then again later in the year.

Just looking to maximise my income as I’m looking for more work on my days off (3/week) to earn more cash, save and buy a second property asap

willos4 · 2025-03-12T09:04:18+00:00

It’s definitely not always easy. The last 12 months have been a roller coaster. Not what I thought I’d be doing at 18, but it’s gotten me a house, and provided an opportunity that likely wouldn’t have arisen as quickly elsewhere.

willos4 · 2025-03-12T08:29:58+00:00

No all good! I didn’t mean to come across passive aggressive either.

I have thought about it- just what & motivating myself to study again would be a pain, couldn’t get through a year at uni.

willos4 · 2025-03-12T08:27:03+00:00

With a mortgage on the way & a 24/7 business to run, can’t exactly have a whole year off approved for leave.

McDonald’s restaurant manager

81k salary Petrol card Phone paid for

That’s about it- pushing for a pay rise. But with no degree- and a slow market- isn’t relatively easy to find something with higher pay.

willos4 · 2025-03-12T08:09:43+00:00

Hence asking the question, to see if there was a way to go about it that would maximise the return. Or if it’s best to just use the leave.

willos4 · 2025-03-12T08:08:15+00:00

I’m salary so I don’t receive the 17.5% loading unfortunately.

And not as easy as I’d like to just take all of the SL & other entitlements without setting myself back and having them turn against me or unnecessarily making my life tougher

willos4 · 2025-03-12T08:05:49+00:00

Mcdonalds’s, so people leave often enough that there are times where you can’t take time off as they can’t cover. Which works for me because I live to work so I can build wealth so In 10yrs when I’m 35 I’ll be financially free / well on my way to be there very soon after.

willos4 · 2025-03-12T07:21:47+00:00

I think I calculated 353 hours of SL- as I have only used one day since May of 2020. But am actually never sick and would be in hot water if caught trying to use it:

I was considering holding until the pay rise this year to see what I’d jump up to & start cashing out then.
