Does anyone know if they’re still doing those free workshops for kids? My lot are starting to get properly bored on weekends and I remember hearing Bunnings used to run them pretty regularly
For me it’s staying on top of the little stuff once life gets busy. Budgeting, tracking spending, not buying random things online, all starts off well and then slowly falls apart after a few weeks. What’s the financial habit you always struggle to stick with?
I was looking through my bank statement this morning and it’s kind of wild how much all the small stuff adds up without you noticing. A few work lunches here, subscriptions I barely use, and suddenly heaps of money is gone every week. Feels like there are a bunch of financial habits now that everyone just accepts as normal even when they’re probably killing people’s budgets long term
The back corner of the yard has started turning into a drainage nightmare again. Aerated it back in September but the soil’s already gone rock hard again. Wondering if those liquid aerators and soil wetters actually make a noticeable difference or if it still ends up being a garden fork and sore back job in the end
I was fine for the first month, but I took my first 5mg shot on Friday and I’ve been living on ginger beer and crackers ever since. Does the nausea eventually settle or should I ask my GP to stay on 2.5mg for a bit longer?
SKS is absolutely flying on the back of the data center construction boom. With AI infrastructure demand hitting a fever pitch in 2026, this mid-cap feels like the only way to play the tech trade on the ASX right now. Is it too late to get in, or does the pipeline suggest this has more room to run?
Roles that don’t get talked about in career advice but still do well financially
Yesterday it said prices would be low all afternoon but then they jumped right when I started cooking
I remember when you could get closer to 250k points on this card. Now it’s sitting around 200k with the same annual fee, and the credits feel a bit more restrictive to actually use in practice
Looks impressive on paper but I’d take the 900km range with a grain of salt, those figures are usually under ideal conditions and real world driving will be quite a bit less, especially on Aussie highways. Still, BYD are clearly pushing hard on big range and value which is what a lot of people care about here, so even if it ends up closer to 650 to 700km it’s still solid. The bigger thing will be how it charges and what it’s actually like to live with day to day rather than just the headline number
4k in 90 days seems like an easy hurdle, but is KrisFlyer Elite Gold actually worth it compared to just sticking with Qantas or Velocity? What do you lot think?
$395 fee with a $400 travel credit so if you actually use it, it basically offsets itself. I get that Platinum has more perks, but the earn rate on Explorer is still solid for everyday spend and you’re not paying for a bunch of benefits you have to go out of your way to use. Genuinely don’t get why so many people still push Platinum as the default. What am I missing here?
Seeing more listings mentioning the NBN fibre upgrade as a selling point. Does the valuer actually care or is it just fluff for the REA? My broker says it helps with comparable sales if the street is all upgraded.
