The irony of your last line there 😀

Yep, don't buy for aesthetics as the black marks and scratches after your first flight will be somewhat upsetting.

Is it even possible to buy at the fantasy RRP number?

Shops that sell luggage constantly make out everything is 40% off RRP which confirms what a joke the RRP numbers are. They must play on the…

The stereotypical suburban yummy mummy car. Always white.

Yes and some brands are seen as "cool", others less so.

Reminds me of my backpacking years. Carefree times.

The buyer has confirmed it was working when they bought it. End of story, no warranty on gumtree purchases. You want a warranty? Pay full…

The bag isn't great but it certainly lasts longer than 2 uses and is cheap to replace. Our previous house used to get showered in leaves…

Indeed, but you won't hear their adoring media talking about it.

A strong economy usually means high prices because if everyone is doing well then they're all competing for the same houses.

+1 for Garuda, absolutely streets ahead of other options going to Bali and well worth the cost.

LA one of very few places I've been that I didn't enjoy and would not return to. Such a plastic culture there.

They've ruined certain parts of it but are also easily avoided. Still plenty of fantastic spots in Bali.

Queenstown is stunning, a terrific place to visit. I mean I knew it was picturesque before I went, but when we got to our very reasonably…

Indeed, mainly Kuta and Legian as the places to avoid although even those areas have some good options in terms of cafes, bars restaurants…

When our kids were young we were so shocked by the extortionate prices for anything in Australia during school holidays that we took them…

Yeah I fixed at 1.86% for 3 years which ran out in September last year. Could have had 2.24% for 5 years but made the mistake of listening…

Well say you put $100k into your loan account at an interest rate of 6%. That money is available for redraw but while its there it saves…

Jannali is a village style nice suburb and just over 30 mins by train to Martin Place with regular services. Heaps of cafes, two pubs, good…

How so? Surely $100k for example in redraw or offset saves the same amount of interest?

The banks hate it more

Android isn't a phone brand

What is better at this price point?

Nonsense, and I'm not Apple lover. The newer iPhones are not that different to the 13. You will be getting a very decent device at a…

While I'm not a huge fan of the RBA, I'm confident they know more than you do.

We already have high rates and low inflation. This was just a small cut after many increases. Businesses won't invest unless debt is…

What has the election got to do with anything? Unless you actually think the multi millionaires that run the RBA would be Labor voters? LNP…

Someone like Dutton wouldn't have a prayer without our biased media. Dutton offers nothing. But then again neither did Tony Abbott and he…

And that 40% do a lot of the spending that keeps the economy moving. A big chunk of the 60% are retirees who by nature spend less and are…
