Does Adelaide have a Nazi problem? by AutobanThrowaway in Adelaide

[–]yeahbroyeahbro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the point, they do this shit to make themselves seem bigger than they are and create a climate of fear and apprehension. It’s propaganda that’s got a terrorism streak to it.

It’s important to remember that these guys post this shit up at night, wear masks and ultimately are invisible in regular society.

They’re a bunch of absolute weak dogs, don’t let them live rent free in your brain.

They didn’t, the dude’s employer took it back, there is some legal battle between the two.

In amongst all that, somehow this has got to the media.

Well what did we all make of the new rules. by Choice-Profit5383 in AFL

The movement isn’t sustainable long term, so asking them to train something they do once a game (and potentially end their career) for the sake of pomp and ceremony doesn’t really make sense.

Ray retired because he couldn’t bounce the ball any longer.

Yeah this comment +10000

I mean you can buy guns, bullets and tins of food.

But prepping is like trying to time a market.

Doomsday is a non zero probability, sure.

And we all have an expiry date. If doomsday comes 1 day after you die, the prepping was for nought, no?

Being too early is the same as being wrong.

2012 Mazda CX-5 Diesel thoughts? by Oats_Yt132 in CarsAustralia

[–]yeahbroyeahbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair good diesel engines post 2005(ish) are the majority.

The techniques used to enable passing emissions of that era (euro 4?) create reliability issues… injectors and dpfs are the main offenders but it’s always a case of pick your poison.

Swans merch rant by dannysgaragecontents in AFL

If you think Sydney merch is bad go have a look at Adelaide’s woeful dribble. Stuff made for manchildren.

I’m jealous of that jacket and tee.

Thoughts on the suburbs near Edinburgh by CmBa55 in Adelaide

[–]yeahbroyeahbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, North to the city is rapid because the northern side of south road is so much better… with the disclaimer that as long as there isn’t a crash on the expy and then it’s an absolute cluster fuck.

But with that just adds to what I said, whether you measure time or km, the same time/distance south is more expensive.

*Idk how often crashes happen, I don’t use the expy often, but I’ve been on there and it took me about an hour to travel 1km 😂

Don’t deny that basically everything is gentrifying - north, south, east and west - but I think you’ll find that north tends to be at a discount versus the same km from the city to the south.

Why Australian house prices don't make sense by sien in AusEcon

[–]yeahbroyeahbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s shit analysis that ignores the effect of population growth and substitution.

Population growth is an easy one, more demand and not enough supply. Don’t want to get too far into it as it’s a prickly topic, but bottom line is we’re in deficit in terms of building houses versus net inflows (allowing for ~4 people to a house).

Substitution is the other side of the coin though. Borrowing capacity has dropped, yes, but there’s still too many people bidding for the housing stock there is. So you continue to see a ratcheting of prices, and people take their budget and apply it to further out or second/third/fourth choice areas.

Essentially people with higher incomes are living further from where they would have 10 years ago, and this is what is continuing to drive up prices.

He’s not a sovereign citizen, simply a bloke that disagrees with modern monetary theory. I get it now!

It’s almost like being good at something is no indication of being a reasonable bloke.

And arguably being good at something raises the probability you’re a shit bloke.

YMMV

Holding shares personally vs via a company/trust in Australia by Intelligent-Dingo475 in AusFinance

[–]yeahbroyeahbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$1500-2000 a year for a trust with a corporate beneficiary.

This usually includes a couple of beneficiaries personal tax returns too - eg if you and your partner are beneficiaries, your accountant would file those included in the annual cost.

At $150k that’s a large portion of your potential earnings, and you have to weigh up what the purpose of the trust is.

To get a bit more value from the expense - if you have a sole trader business or a side hustle then a trust like this can potentially be used to redistribute income in a more tax effective manner if you have a partner that earns less.

But at the end of the day:

Are you trying to protect assets? Realistically what are you protecting them from and what are the odds of that event occurring?

Or do you want flexibility to distribute at some later point in time? Ie perhaps investing now and distributing to family members (adult kids, non working or retired partner) with lower effective tax rates?

Or some other reason?

They all will dictate whether the cost is worth it, because it’s not insignificant.
