    It's a shame we don't have tax free municipal bonds in Australia.

    Huh, interesting. Gmail removed the option to turn off IMAP in January 2025. Can still do it with paid Google workspace. May be using a new protonmail account from now for anything important anyway I think.

    Yeah I wouldn't normally but as it was a very established bank in Australia that didn't have the option of using google authenticator I thought it may have been ok. Doesn't sound great though, especially as this was where I was planning on parking most of my cash.

    Thanks man. After chatting a little to @heavy_industry I'm also going to have a dedicated and completely quarantined laptop strictly for anything that's important financially. Thinking just a basic Chromebook with its own Sim for data.

    That's awesome man, thanks for the info. Sent it to a friend of mine with a service biz in Australia that has a similar size area. Think he has only used Google ads so far. I think it's killer that you have integrated the leads to your CRM like that. A weakness of his was contacting leads in a...

    What do you think it was about the ad that worked? Is 3200 just their first payment out of a recurring service? Good stuff. One last question actually, what is the population size of your city you service?

    What are your thoughts on auth apps that aren't Google? The bad reviews from this one involve people getting stuck in a loop lol.

    Perfect, thanks man! Yeah I agree completely. I've never really had the amount of cash I have at the moment so it's got to be an ongoing thing. To be honest I've been scared shitless of losing it from not being secured enough.

    I had a search but couldn't see a thread about digital security. I have a week off work so am planning to go over everything and try and secure my banking, phone and laptop as best as I can. Would be great to discuss best practice and the different methods people use. If anyone remembers one I...

    My Dad had 4 kids by the time he was 28. He once told me he was happy but his advice was to wait first and set myself up first, which I'm glad he did. The stress caused to the family by not having enough money is something I don't forget. My current girlfriend is the first one I've had that has...

    Trump’s “Golden Visa” Plan – A Game Changer or a Gamble?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't really see what the downside would be. Only thing I've heard here is potentially attracting money laundering criminals but hopefully they have a good vetting process in place. I would assume anyone that can afford that has a higher probability of being a producer. Sounds good to me

    Curious what others thoughts are on Warren Buffett holding hundreds of billions in cash. I'm not an investor and have zero knowledge in the area but see a lot of people with differing views.

    I really bought into the whole "life will be boring if I can't drink with friends." After something like 6 to 8 months without drinking, I feel the complete opposite. Sitting around drinking is boring as F*ck. Congrats on the milestone!

    When I quit sugar, vegetables starting tasting sweet sometimes. The best thing I ever did for my health was going strict keto for 6 months, aiming for only 20 grams of carbs. Not even using chewing gum. I don't do it anymore and probably won't again (I like a latte or 2 daily and things like...
