lady at teller pushing me to raise my cc limit to 9k.

nigga wat da f*k, i cant think of any reason as to why 9k limit would be a good idea for a 21yrol student living at home

Banking advisor hitting her KPI's is technically a reason

thats bad mayne. i feel sorry and not sorry for the one potato who takes it, and uses it all thinking that they can just continue their spending habits and keep paying minimum payment. lmfao

Always trying to get me to up mine to 21k. kunce are dreaming

I'm still coming to grips with the whole mortgage thing, only been about 4 months but so much more stress to keep a job, toys or mods forget that! 2 incomes would be so much easier (I don't earn dat dere average wastelander 6figs) had to compromise for unit brah.

Least I got in early, that way when I get married and divorced she can take half ;)

All depends... if you are paid weekly/fortnightly and have a mortgage with a 100% offset account and pay your card in FULL monthly you actually save money by using the CC

But this is quite unlikely for a 21yo student lol

I use my CC for everything, earns points on money I would've been spending anyway

never paid a cent in interest on it so win win for me

Yup. If you are properly responsible they can actually be a money saving tool that generates rewards.

not much work around Victoria at the moment... only positions advertised at the moment seem to be in QLD, WA or NT. Port Hedland/Pilbara can go ead. and so can a 28:7 roster. (unless it was Dezz wage x2 or round abouts)

I would expect them to buy a dive like Leroy had

huh?

also, thats pretty stiff about the fine. least they were reasonable when challenging the fine. the cozzers probably know you'll get let off, but if they retracted a fine they're trying to issue it would make em look pretty stoopid.

Credit account linked to mortgage that for interest purposes is considered to be part of the mortgage balance

yeah me still no capish

i just signed up for cc cause its free for me, use it for all my personal bills/fines/interweb spendings. always pay in full every month. my idea is that this is showing the banks i can control my financials.

Is this something banks actually look at later on (when i get to actual borrowing), or am i just wasting my time with a cc.

Gives me practice to budget anyways

Ok

First thing to remember is that interest is calculated DAILY, then charged periodically (usually monthly)

Say you have a mortgage of $100k, get paid $5k a month (net) as ~$1150 per week.

Your pay goes into your offset account (normal bank account) and just sits there as you are using your credit card for everything.

While the money is in the offset account your interest is calculated on the loan balance minus the offset balance each day. So if you have $5k in there your interest is charged on $95k despite the borrowings of $100k.

The credit card is interest free for 30 days which allows you to have more days with the balance sitting in your transactional account offsetting the mortgage balance.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
