What details? I had an existing loan with Tiimely, fixed at 2%. This expired, and their roll to rate (the variable rate you go to…

UFO commented on Washing Machine Recommendation - Bosch Vs. Miele
Speed Queen. It'll be the last washer brand you ever own. Yeah they are expensive.... but you'll buy 3 (or more!) washers before you need…

UFO commented on Correct Way to Split The Cost of a Fence?
Boundary fence. House is responsible for 50%, the units are responsible for the other 50%. How the unit owners split their 50% share is up…

lucky.ozbargain on Meross Smart Plug 4Pk $48.96 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Shuzu-AU Amazon AU

Very valid on both concerns. I had to make allowances to fit them properly, but nothing a power board couldn't fix. Not that you should…

After loan costs in changing over, I'd take that 5.9% from CBA if I were you! Unless you shop elsewhere and go for a $4k cashback or…

Yeah agreed. Regret not fixing for 5 when I had the chance, but thankful I did 3. Rates went nuts and we were both sitting pretty at 2% for…

Australia is a big place mate... where you live in WA you may not need it, but here in Canberra it would be used for months at a time for…

Depends on your loan amount, but no one should be above 6% mate. Definitely worth the shop around... and look for cashbacks for some of…

I was on 1.99% fixed for 3 years, and only rolled off that 6 months ago. When did you fix at 5.69? That sounds very high if you did so…

UFO commented on Wish to Relocate to USA. Any Suggestions?
No bloody way I'd even **visit** there right now, let alone relocate! Madness. Not even if I had free airline tickets. 20 years ago maybe.…
