Interest rate rises and punting

I know for a fact that all the bin companies in Sydney metro are searching for drivers, all you need is a HR license which costs about $1800 to get which may seem high but the pay is more than $30 per hour and overtime is abundant.

This won't last long though as our border opens this opportunity will go to Indians whose HR licenses are recognized in Australia

On the other hand Keating's "recession we had to have" brought truck loads of new girls" into the industry. I can remember $90/hour, nude from the start, with loads of extras included at no additional cost.The main competition was girls competing for clients. Good times - But they didn't last!

I've done that several times. Always nice for a payout but also just so burnt out. There's a reason why we have annual leave. Holidays are important for the mind.

I don't own a car, don't travel, don't drink, smoke or gamble. I used to be able to save part of my earnings.

Punting is my biggest expenses. If I punt recklessly I would not be able retire comfortably.

By punting I only make mamasans and MLs richer. And myself poorer. They are driving expensive cars and live in expensive apartments.

Increasingly I start to realize punting is for the wealthy class of people and not for people like me who have to sweat for every dollar I earn.

Having being poor I know the value of money.

At least when you reach 18 you can legally drink

We are fortunate enough to have a few weeks annual leave in Australia. I heard workers are only entitled to one week in the US.
