Ideally, you’d want some idea of how it works from the other side. A traditional trade is 4 years. You’d be better off getting some labouring work and building up knowledge, skills, and contacts from there. It’s a hard slog, though.

Just pay for Xero, lovely some things are just worth it. You’ll find every “free” program has its limits like only being able to send 50 invoices before upgrading, or not being able to generate reports, etc. It’s $70 a month or something, pretty minor compared to what it produces.

Just get the house paid off first lad

Basically, you use your equity instead of saving up for a deposit. You take enough equity to cover 20% of your purchase price, plus stamp duty and the buyers agent fee (if that applies).

Also doing pickup orders allows me no impulse purchases.

I just love knowing how much money I’m saving! Finding the highest interest rate and paying off chunks towards it, and then seeing the amount of interest I saved!

You know, you’re always gonna make more money in carpentry you can pull in 3k in a weekend if you’ve got that hunger!

It could work, you know! There are so many event places that charge a fortune for next to nothing, and they’ve got that whole prestige marketing angle like, “Come to Bali and pay a ton of money to do the same yoga you could totally do at your local gym.” Personally, I think most of them are...

If they are residential properties it can't be done legally

I had a garentour, and I’m planning to do the exact same for my kiddos. Not giving them cash, haha!

Hey there, for what you say you're doing, that would be an absolute minimum of $60 an hour. Forklift drivers are making over 40 bucks an hour these days. I'm really sorry to say this, dear, but $40 for a qualified trade? That's just pathetic.

Oh, that's definitely a better way to go about it, love – since you can't claim the interest the ATO charges, but you can claim the interest from a finance borrower to pay it out. Just be super careful, sweetie, and don't do this under cashflow finance with lenders like Prospa or Lumi, because...
