    Lots of interesting ideas here.

    Here's what I would do if I was ever partnered or the poor soul would marry me.

    Have my YouTube history and recommendations filled with poker tutorials, poker stars and any related poker games.
    Know poker games location. Or if friends are in on it then poker night.
    Should know poker can go on for few hours if wife/partner wife ask why taking too long.
    Withdrawn money for buy in etc.lts actually going to fs or massage shops.

    If wife/partner ask me about winnings.
    Well I'm not that good..

    Not sure what's the dynamic of the relationship for other punters cause I'm not experienced, I'm assuming punters would go after work and do the deed before heading home. The wife wouldn't know until it's too late?
    However if my wife/partner ask "next time take me with you" then at least I'm prepared, go to an actual poker game and kill time. If she's okay wasting her time everytime she comes with me then that's commitment ..

    Look into getting a Novated Lease on a new car, something that you and your wife would need and love to have.
    Government incentives are amazing on EV cars right now.

    A Novated Lease will slightly reduce your overall net income, but also make you more tax efficient and you get a new car to boot!

    Where does the punting come in? Well at the end of your lease you need to pay the residual to keep the car, normally 25%.
    So its good practice to put a portion of your pay into a separate account to cover the the residual at the end of the lease.

    The formula would be (Residual Cost / Lease Term X Frequency of Pay) + Punting.
    Open a paperless fee free account with a bank thats not the Big4, I hear Macquarie Bank and ING are pretty good looking at the other thread and get your payroll to send that calculated amount there.
    Additionally any costs related to the car can be claimed back from your leasing agency account. You can get these claims to be paid to the residual account for some more punting money.


    While you're there, increase your superannuation contribution to the maximum or to whatever you can afford. Might as well since we are making sound financial decisions.

    So in summary:
    1. CommSex account for shares and punting
    2. Novated lease for new car, setup another account for the residual end of lease payment
    3. Increase pre tax super contributions

    This should result in:
    1. A decent share portfolio
    2. A new car to distract your wife + any cash from trading in the old car
    3. 2 accounts with cards to access discreet cash
    4. Multiple reasons why your income has reduced into the joint account.
    5. A better retirement fund.
    6. For a full rounded sound financial planning I highly recommend opening an Independent Reserve crypto exchange account. Send $25 - $50 half of weekly allowance.

    7. Activate Auto trader to buy 100% of balance each time ( dollar cost average buying BTC, ETH) Wait until 2024 halving.

    8. By year 2025 sell crypto portfolio as needed ie. Punting, holiday, etc.

    These was my strategy since 2016... I was lucky enough not to worry about punting money as much.

    I understand that these can take time but I guarantee you in 2 years time you can even buy yourself a sugar baby 😉

    Seriously, just be single and free. The lives of these guys doing these things must be so stressful that is not worth it at all.

    That's always been my philosophy. Live life free and easy. No wife, no kids, no nothin. Enjoy!
    Yeah for sure I will die alone and they will find my dead body 10 days after I die, but who gives a fuck.
    Ultimately we all die alone and your kids will put you in a nursing home as soon as you become a burden anyway. They will visit once a week just to make sure they are still in the will

    Its hard for some married guys if they are in a sexless marriage but still care for their partner. Punting is a good option as long as they don't get caught by the mrs. Single life is not for everyone but each to their own.

    I hate to be that guy, but you and ditchtheboss are also missing out on the most basic, fundamental, real emotions of life which are only unlocked via having kids. I know that's not exactly popular but modern society has forced men into an untenable situation where we need to be "single and free" to have regular sex. But having kids is the most joyous thing I've ever done, and I've done a lot. Bros...am I wrong?

    Don't have kids or partnered but I have a friend before married he was not responsible, meaning he would gamble, drink regular abd do stupid shit like steal.
    Now that he has a kid and married (accidentally peg sister in law) he turned his life around.

    Definitely agree with Mr Brown, my attitude towards life was exactly the same as rooter's. Live hard die young.

    But even after the divorce I'd still do it all again just for the kids. I stopped partying, drugs, smoking and started regulars visits to the doctor. I have regular check ups for skin cancer, blood pressure, colonoscopies and generally look after myself better. I now want to live as long as possible to see them grow up.

    I now look forward to every weekend, not for wasting myself as I used to but for the time with the kids. I even enjoy going to Mecca and watching them try skin care products and the tips they give me to look after my face.
    My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity.

    Isn’t amazing how many sexless marriages are out there.

    Long ago I had a partner who mentioned that she thought Buddhism was a stupid philosophy.
    I used this to my advantage and enrolled in a meditation course at a place in Chatswood but only went every second or third time, leaving me with a cover story about where I was for 2 or 3 hours every Sunday afternoon.

    Everyone of us needs a credible “cover story”, ideally one that can be verified. After work community and TAFE courses are also handy.

    Not wrong or right, bro. Everyone is different.

    If we only look at the "having kids" factor, then of course 99.99% of men would appreciate the effects of having their own offspring. What can I say... Kids are like cute little Angels sent from Heaven to steal our hearts, lol!

    Alas, that's not the only factor in the equation. There's the wife, the in-laws, day-to-day life changes, financial changes, the list goes on. Not surprising if the cons outweigh the pros.

    Especially when it comes to kids. They're very much a case of "you never know if you never go". How could a bloke know what he's missing if he hasn't known that thing?

    He would know what he would have to sacrifice, though, that's for sure!

    Living the dream ey?

    At the end of day life's all about choices, making trade-offs, taking risks, sacrifices and responsibilities.

    I will say that being single definitely has many pros, less responsibility, less stress, more freedom, especially if you have no other family commitments, life will definitely be much "easier", downside is the loneliness, but some people are ok with that, if it's a choice they made.

    I'm single atm (divorced with kids), I ain't gonna judge if someone's married lol, at the end of the day it just comes down to personal choices, if you are married then you are basically accepting the risks and consequences.

    When you are on a holiday to Asia you normally get a better exchange rate for your Aud exchanged overseas than to buy the foreign currency in an Australian Bank. So why not take out more Aud than you need? If you are the custodian of the cash for out of pocket expenses , any unused Aud may be difficult for your wife/partner to verify. Hence some extra punting money.

    I'm in the same position... I withdraw cash every few weeks, gradually just salt it into my box.... I get some work aside my main job, and have a secret account I can get some payments sent to. When people ask what you want for a present - visa gift cards! I use these at reception all the time - usually pay $100 on the card, the rest cash - can tip the receptionist then. You can buy these cards at servos and office works too.... non-suspicious places on statements....
    My pays swing around wildly, so I am considering just asking the boss to do a separate transfer sometimes, but am getting by on the above - I'm trying to keep the web simple!
    Best advice - don't get into the full joint account....and if you do - keep control!

    I read a news article today about how are heading towards a cashless society - the shops are going to have to get smart if this happens! I remember going to a shop in Fyshwyck in the 90's, we used our credit cards - the statements showed the purchases at 'Toms Hardware' or similar!
