Right, as an Australian in Australia the majority of us don’t care about American and your presidential squabbles.

We only care when our government place little brother and tries to copy America

Haha, normally I see her and think magic the gathering and get confused. Makes for some great headlines though

Huh uk and America racing to the bottom it seems.

I can’t wait until our government in Australia enters the race. It’s not far off given the social media ban for under 16s. They will want id from everyone to prove otherwise I’m sure.

Congratulations on the child, I just found out this morning I’m having a son also my first child.

I still feel like I’m 21 now, but my body hurts from yearsbof being a mechanic and lifting weights and an old injury. I started my company when I was 30 that was 10 months ago so still early days but I felt like I had the experience necessary for it by then.

In 6 months I’ll be 32 and I don’t really reflect on it at all I had friends who freaked out about it. Getting old etc while still single but I’ve been married almost 5 years and life couldn’t be better

At 22 I thought I had it all figured out.

Now coming up on 32 I look back and think geeze what a dumb arse I was at times.

I’m sure when I’m 42 I’ll think I was dumb now, but a lot had maturing happened for me during my 20s. I would hold off until 30s at least

Yeah never underestimate a horney teenager haha.

That’s the other issue, kids will find ways around it they always have when it comes to restrictions.

My dog comes to click noises like a horse

Yeah I’m Australia we have just decided to ban all social media for people under 16, i think it’s great honestly because screw from insta etc but I don’t think it’s the government ls job to prevent kids from using social media.

I really think it’s a way to force adults to register their id to accounts not about protecting kids.

Parents should monitor what their kids are doing not the government

You mustn’t have been paying attention, Lt Dan ain’t got no legs, that doesn’t preclude him from having feet

It really hertz

Small to medium shops all around my town in Australia.

It’s started to make me think about returning to cash, but it’s $3.20 to get cash out unless you go to the bank during their office hours

The latest that drives me mad is the 1.5 surcharge they’re putting on pay wave transactions now.

They pushed it free convenient etc etc and now charge extra for it regardless of debit or credit card

Feasible but it’s a long con. Although big corporations can play these games i guess

Part of me wonders if this is all a play to boost crypto values by the execs in these industries.

I live off a credit card, my money sits inside an offset account against my home loan the interest charged on that is calculated every 30 days at the end of the month so the more cash I have in there the less interest I pay on my mortgage.

The credit card is free with no fees or interest provided I pay it off on time with that date being every 30 days from the 15th of the month.

Thus at the end of the month when interest is calculated on my home loan I have more cash in my account then I would if I had of spent 2k that month on bills etc.

The other benefit is I earn points that the bank will exchange for cash with me so it’s kinda like free money.

For context I’m Australian with an Australian bank.

This set up is great if you’re disciplined for anyone due to the points etc however if you screw up spend beyond your means etc you will incur interest and that’s not good.

I make sure to never spend more then I actually have and it has worked wonders for me.

In the past 10 years I’ve probably been made about 7k back in points value.

Cash flights etc all for spending exactly as I do.

I should note the card is provided to me as part of my home loan package hence it has no fees attached as I pay an upfront cost for the “home loan wealth package”

And mean and mode

Yeah small price to pay, but hey it’s back day today and I’m off to do my deadlifts now

Everyone lives in cities?
