Agreed on LA. Literally the only city I've been to that I wouldn't bother going back to if given the chance. Everything about it just…

Same. Used to buy it all the time until the price rises. Have found a cheaper alternative and the dogs don't seem to enjoy it any less.

The thing about baby stuff is they grow out of it quickly so people are always selling second hand gear. Steralisers, cots, clothes, toys…

Obviously less potential buyers as many drivers these days can't drive a manual, but they would still be out there.

Annoying. Just paid significantly more about a week ago. Used them for the first time during a longish run the other day. They definitely…

Memories. Used to record off the TV when a kid. We had a pet canary at the time who liked to chirp along loudly to the music just when you…

Must admit I haven't used them for a while but they always used to be very good with price matching.

Price match at appliances online? They connect it and take away your old machine.

This can definitely work well over longer term but is not for the faint hearted. Also if you cop a big loss at the start its going to take…

That's because everyone here is a genius stock picker than can outperform managed funds and other options...

What's the difference between a Hippo and a Zippo? One is really heavy, the other is a little lighter.

Its too difficult to compare everything as there are so many options, but these comparisons are good for most people who won't be trying to…

This is true of industry funds for sure. I was in financial advice during the GFC. Listed property trusts were down by around 70%, yet…

No fund is going to come first every year, you need to look at medium to longer term comparisons.

Yeah, I deal with AFCA disputes and we've had to pay out many large compensation settlements due to financial advisers advising people to…

Of course that's true because markets rise and fall, but that fund has been a consistent top performer against peers for many years. I'd…

Agree with this. I'm certainly no Apple fanboi, I don't use their phones (the rest of my family does) and think they are overrated. Their…

Its still a very decent laptop and would be fine for 95% of people. But lets pay hundreds more for the new one with barely noticeable…

The call should be recorded and on the record. If it is it confirms they knew about the issue before making the payment. They wouldn't have…

Australian Super has a term deposit option that pays more. Unless you are drawing funds out of super, you don't need access to the funds.…

There are retail funds where you can use ETFs, you don't need a SMSF to do that.

I think ASIC also had a figure like that as the minimum. I deal with AFCA quite a bit also and they definitely do not think its appropriate…

Sure if fees are the only thing you are looking at. There's also trustee responsibility, and complexity that you either have to handle…

If you're not going to be holding direct property I personally wouldn't bother with the hassle of a SMSF. There are several super platforms…

There is such a thing as a binding nomination in super. Non binding will leave it up to the trustee, although they will usually go with the…

MG CEO has joined the chat.

Same with Hyundai and Kia when they first arrived. But in those cases the early cars were not of great quality and they improved over time…

Not having android auto is pathetic, it isn't 2008.

Yes, same.

If OP contacted the ATO before the payments were made it should be on the record. If they've then stuffed up and paid it that's on them. I…
