• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite a rate rise, Australia's CPI will likely remain among highest in the world⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What worries me is that I can’t see how inflation can’t go up, with the increased fuel cost getting added into all products and services.

  So, in a couple of months, they’ll see increased inflation, and raise the rates again.

  Which means it will get even tougher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RBA faces its 'most complicated' rates call in years. What could it mean for you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tricky call.

  If they raise rates when things are already slowing down, it can mean you go slower, and for longer, than is ideal.

  I think they’ll increase it, but maybe do 0.15%, to bring it to a nice even 4.00%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Richest super balances to be taxed at higher rates after Greens agree to back Labor plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure $3M would be a nice ‘problem’.

  But I’m more concerned about poor suckers like me and maybe you.

  Your key assumption is that the asset value never goes down. And you are ignoring the impact of inflation.

  We are looking at long terms here, and when and where things happen matters.

  So, in the case of a ‘comfortable’ $800K. Well, if the market tanks, that could easily be 400K. Not so comfortable now? And the $50K a year you were taking out, maybe you have to halve that to make it last. Oh, and whatever you were drawing out? $50K in 10 years time, assuming 4% inflation, is only worth 2/3 of whatever you take out today. And if you start budgetting for increased health care and aged care as you grow older, well…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Richest super balances to be taxed at higher rates after Greens agree to back Labor plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get and support the gist of this.

  In terms of dollar values, I worry about 2 things:

  • the official CPI figures don’t track to the actual cost of living
  • the issue of money/government debt is uncontrolled

  Maybe if it was set as the equivalent of $3M in gold as at 12 March 2026 I’d be OK…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Richest super balances to be taxed at higher rates after Greens agree to back Labor plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well $3M sounds like a lot now, but I hope they index it, because the way inflation and money printing is going, that will be worth about $3.50 in a decade or two.

  “But it’s not just yoghurt.

  Aldi has reported that cottage cheese is also in high demand, which it attributed to “viral trends and dietary choices”.”
