If it makes a low whirring sound loud enough for people pressed up against me on a crowded train to hear, I'm in.
BadGiraffe commented on Star Wars Imperial Troop Transport Vehicle $5.25 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I can't believe the original price of that thing. But good deal though! That's definitely the amount I'd pay for that.

Okay. That makes sense. I'm using a second hand ThinkPad. 8th gen. 8GB or RAM sucks though. But it's enough for basic things.

Why are all secondhand 8th Gen Intels around $300 to $400... and anything 9th Gen up shoot up to double the price, but then stays within…

I just finished Breath of the Wild (I know... but I just got a Switch 6 months ago) and I'm really looking forward to Tunic.

Yup. And your pants waist around your knees pulls it forward so they doesn't touch the seat. I have to admit, the first time I did it, I…

Interesting comments. I bought some cheap ones years ago out of curiosity. Now I swear by them. I originally got the ones with the rubber…

Unclip socks, remove shirt and stays, remove pants. Remove pants last always.

I do. Started using them in my 30's and I haven't looked back since. For this price, I'd say give it a try. Your shirt will always look…
BadGiraffe commented on Disney Valentino Plush Toy $7 (Was $14) + $9 Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store/ $60 Order) @ Target
Pretty good for a plushie. Might pick a couple up for birthday or Christmas presents.
After reading all this, I think my next step is to see a financial adviser. I cancelled my policy just now without reading all the latest…
That's what I was thinking as well. We're literally not making any savings right now. We make enough to pay the bills and groceries. But…
Those are my thoughts as well, but some responses here are making me think otherwise. I've only just cancelled my policy before reading…
Why 65 though? I see that come up a lot in this thread. What happens after 65? Apologies if it's a dumb question. I need to see a financial…
Struggling now a little bit. I took a look recently at our finances. From April or something last year, we're basically breaking even.…
Yup. My thoughts exactly. Once I pay everything off though, I'm putting any savings into a high interest savings account like ING.
Right now, honestly, not a whole lot. All money goes into the offset account. I still have a ways to go before I can actually start putting…
Thanks. I will. In fact, I have just ended my policy before reading the latest messages here. It used to be $100-something, but over the…
As in... they pay out more often for this particular one than other policies?
Funded through super. Interesting. Do you work in insurance by any chance? I probably do need to speak to a financial adviser. I'm not a…
What do you reckon about the money I save? Put it into the mortgage, or put it in a high interest account like ING's Savings Maximiser? I'd…
Lots of if's. This is exactly what insurance companies want. Preying on our insecurities. Can I put that savings to use somewhere else?
Nope. Separate to super. But good point. I don't know if my super does any insurance. I'll check it out.
This one covers retrenchment, but not if you get fired. Losing my job is low at the moment. Or so I'm told.
$99K-ish per annum. But things are getting expensive, I have to drop something, and this is something I don't think I'll use. I've got a…
BadGiraffe posted a forum topic Income Insurance - Thoughts?
Hi, what are your thoughts on income insurance? I've been using it for years and never had to make a claim. Thinking of cancelling it.…
Things matter while this space dust still has to work and pay bills though. I'm in the middle of evaluating my insurance. Things are tight…
AAMI have their complete replacement cover. AAMI **say** this is so that you don't under insure your house, and that they will rebuild or…
BadGiraffe replied to park on Motorola Moto G84 12GB RAM/256GB Storage $299 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ Bing Lee
Vulnerability fixes as well. I'm not sure if you're talking about just this particular model, but in general, it's best to get devices that…
BadGiraffe replied to Bargearse on [PS4, PS5] Resident Evil 4 Remake Standard Edition $23.62 @ PlayStation Store
Nah. I didn't like Village either. There's a reason people are still playing this game 20 years later. Pacing is good, right amount of…
