As most know you spend 1/3 of your life on your mattress.....so I'm all for sving a buck but dunno if penny pinching is a great idea - and…

Should come with 6 x AAA rechargable Ni-Mh batts. I bought this set a year or so ago for use on our property if we get a bushfire to…

@TechVisar The one that has a deal that frondono linked is ok - I have one thats near identical to this one, but is carbon steel :…

Bargain buy, just bear in mind regardless of what the listing says it is NOT intended as a bone cleaver, it's a slicer.

I dunno about that I think you always come from a pretty balanced position, support your comments with info - not just assertions or wise…

My guy, play the ball, not the man. @mskeggs is a respected member here - he's disagreed with you on stuff but not gone after you on a…

@Rac00n Well if you have the time - this is a handy video to watch, is probably the one I recommend most to investors as regardless of what…

Impressive effort - nice to know Bendigo are not even principled enough to stand by their daft rules. Utterly bizarre, I asked them to…

Yeah I've just been through this with Bendigo on a new card myself - IMHO they're full of crap and are very much deliberately making this…

@SBOB You seem a savvy investor, so would be familiar with the approach of selling down loss making positions prior to EOFY etc - at a…

@Geekomatic FWIW I have near identical banking preferences to yourself (preferring desktop, linux user, avoiding doing on phone) - I moved…

I assume he meant it increases his overall portfolio's size to $170k, not his position in IVV alone to $270k. Not expressed perfectly by…

+1 > HOWEVER, your post/question suggests you really don't have the knowledge. That and the OP's comments in the thread to me show they're…

>if he knows so much about money, why is an over 80 year old still working? Contrast Whittaker against the OP, who is 32 and intends to…

JV's on it - I've been doing for several months, bloody easy to do and is IMHO better than some of the better commercial ones Ive had.

I'm not one of the negs, but I'd recommend you strongly against this plan. Your current diversification is better (real estate + shares).…

Funny you say this as I seriously had considered placing such a bet as an emotional hedge against him getting in. As he would say,"SAD"

Man alive, OP's around here that want good advice but give scant info. Garbage in, garbage out my friend. No person can give you the…

Is a ncie reply - but as others have said if the stuff the OP has tried hasn't worked - perhaps it's just not for them i.e don't invest. I…

OP, you don't need specific advice - a few searches would find you all the info you need on what are regarded as excellent provider & asset…

And also consider switching from French Press to Stovetop - similar level of effort, equipment cost, time to cleanup but MUCH better brew…

Yup - I briefly had the Hario as well - it was as you say, ghastly.

DO NOT get a cheap chopper (uses a blade, it's a chopper, not a grinder). Whatever you select MUST have burrs, to be a grinder. Get a hand…

+1 to this. Why? Written by an Aussie grassroots investor who's just a normal guy who wanted to share his info, has zero commissions or…

Is a tad silly that any employer requires on of an employee - as the system is so easily gamed and if you cannot trust an employee to turn…

@Fifths , I see you. ;-)…

This is in theory true, however of you're like 90%+ of Aussies and have your super with a regular fund manager, you'll find that the CGT is…

First correct thing you've said in a while. How ironic you are so misguided you thought you were potshotting me quoting my advice - only to…

As an ex-Ubank customer, Mac is a much more polished product offering in every way. I regret not having moved to them earlier

Asa regular sourdough maker I'd say this. Yes, it will make an excellent sourdough if results ALONE are what you seek - however you'll need…
