Please now your being a flog for the sake of it. Parental support is usually the period beyond the usual facets of parenting ie sending your kids to school

You don't see how that first 18 years of your life sets you up for the future? That there are tons of people who don't have the same opportunities you did? Parents divorced, family businesses etc.? Family tragedies etc. How can you attribute where you are 100% to your own doings when we all receive a hand of cards not of our choosing from the get go. Sheer arrogance.

of course my parents are fantastic but make no mistake life was not easy. Sure it helps who would deny that? But plenty of people achieve heaps without finishing school with divorced parents(does that really matter as you get older?)

Do you credit your parents entirely for where your at in life? Working for the family business if I'm not mistaken? So who had the good leg up out you and me? My dad is part of my team now so yeah I'm doing plenty to repay the faith and sacrifice they made - what have you done?

I think it all comes down to the industry your in

i don't think I'll ever be worried about my job being taken over by immigrants

I believe specialized, skilled jobs and where client relationships are important are at low risk

I just did my tax online... An accountant then looked at it and emailed me re further deductions and got extra info prior to submitting...

For $59

You still confident?

Not the bus ticket or the petrol or the uniform/shoes and excursions etc. unless I'm missing something?

C'mon mate what % of the population can't send there kids to public schools due to cost or transport?

FYI i walked to school and didn't attend school excurions due to cost. Uniform they have 2nd hand shops, hand me down items which i did.

Yes

Book keeper, yum cha accountant those can be replaced. Etax, mytax is so easy to do a tax return.

Tax law, restructures, mergers.demergers, corporate takeovers etc... Good luck with that! Even a suburbian CA/CPA accountanting firm is unlikely to get that right, we see it time and time again in our industry

No I don't credit anyone entirely for where I am in life - where I am is the result of many variables and a shit load of luck, good and bad. I'm happy where I am and that's what matters to me.

What have I done? How about working in the family business for years not to get a leg up, but to repay what my parents gave to me by pulling it out of debt and turning it into a break even business. Not every family business is a silver spoon. When will you stop assuming?

Yes

You would be surprised what level of employment ANZ outsourced... :/

A fair proportion can't afford even public school for kids = centrelink = can't afford niceties = kids in high school getting jobs just to pay for shit. I had a mate who worked at Coles with me and most of what he earned went to his mum to pay for shit for his brothers and sisters. We ain't all in the same boat.

My point is, how can anyone think that 1/4 of their life, the first quarter, that for most part they have little control over, shouldn't impact the other 3/4?

No, you still have to pay yearly school fees to attend a public school

Pretty sure they don't all do, correct me if im wrong

They may ask for a voluntary contribution' but it isn't mandatory

Isn't the attendance and the curriculum learning program free? They may ask you for other payments, but as far as I am aware they are not compulsory

Pretty sure I didnt, just meant I didnt get the year end school books and stuff

I don't think I'm assuming here, but happy to have a go:

Come on brah...you're selling houses to people who want to buy them...half the job is done for you...throw in some paperwork...what negotiating?

Not sure about Victoria, but the schools I've worked at in WA require a yearly fee per family. These schools are independent public schools however; responsible for their own budgets and money.

I personally see real estate sales as a very redundant job in 20 years but that doesn't scare me I'll move with the times

when do you see this as turning into a ebay market?

with things like the electronic conveyancing and much of the paperwork now being able to do online

it must get to a point where it will be like cars? most are sold on their own but there some of the more high end that a dealer takes care of for the further advertisigina nd such for a bigger commission?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
