Maybe you can drive for Uber part time or something, then suddenly the expenses becomes partly deductible?

geek001 commented on Optus Cybersecurity 2024 - Has Anything Changed?
I doubt it. I re-joined Optus recently and I can see my Optus Subhub history from 2021 and 2022 from before I left. Looks like they like to…

geek001 commented on NAB Rewards Platinum Credit Card: 80000 Flybuys Points with $1000 Spend in 60 Days (+ 30000 Points after 1 Year), $95 Annual Fee
Shouldn't it be $550 - (2x$95 annual fee) = $360 profit if you keep it for more than 12 months?
