How old is this cousin? Maybe they don’t know how to deal with difficult information yet

Clearly you don’t understand how slow things are in government. 6 months is a really fast turnaround for the government to get anything done.

Well the article is from 2020, so you don’t have much longer to wait!

No, I wouldn’t. That’s why they won’t price it at $20. They’re gonna have to figure something else out or just have a complete negative loss in the state. You can try to price gouge people but they’ll likely just go somewhere else. This is some bs thinking through and through

SOMETIMES IT’S GOOD TO CARE!

That’s the general gist

What’s this “whole country” thing…how do you get that to happen? No, I’m seriously asking cause as an American, I wanna know how we can revolt for healthcare and a livable wage. Just takes all of us right? Maybe tomorrow 🤞

Yeah I also heard the American banking system is as strong as ever… 👀. Not like they’d actually tell us and risk a bank run!

What action was the general public supposed to take? Opposing voices have ended up in jail or worse. If you think this can’t happen to you in your country then you’re very much mistaken!

You really got a lot out with that post eh? Appreciate you sharing though, you make some great points!

Invest it using the algorithms they’ve so conveniently set up for you! Don’t worry, they wouldn’t take advantage of you because you’re poor…

Well, either you’re really bad at expressing yourself through online comments…or you forgot to add a /s to the end of your comment. Certainly seems to me like you’re still a bit confused.

That one whooshed right over your head eh? He’s saying that chickens families are not, in fact, the same as human families. They don’t form a family unit with bonds above those of other chickens. It’s mostly because they’re chickens…and not humans and it was a dumb comparison for PETA to try and make.

Pointing out how chickens relate to other chickens does not mean it’s an endorsement for cruelty…you stretched big time for that one.

Pizza party solves everything!!

I’M GONNA DO IT!!

Ah, c’mon downvoters…gotta keep some sarcasm alive at the same time!

Don’t worry, I’ll go first.

So I ultimately agree that the first thing to do is to recognize your known amounts. I start with a simple Excel spreadsheet and begin with known monthly income amounts first. Fixed or relatively consistent income gets it’s own row. Then I try to think about other sources of income that I make throughout the year (if any) and then average that to a monthly amount.

Next I start with all of my known fixed expenses. Mortgage/rent, car payments, insurance, etc. Next comes known variable expenses like gas, groceries, etc. I always average out the last few months and try to lean towards a higher amount to be conservative. Last, I try to always budget for unexpected expenses. Vehicle maintenance, child injury, unexpected bachelor party…you name it, but every month on average SOMETHING unexpected comes along.

What I’m left with, I divide by 30 days to figure out what I can spend on a daily basis. Some days I spend over, sometimes way under…but this gives me a good idea every day on how I should be doing for the month. I find it helps to have that “per day” thought in your mind at all times!

So this is just advocating for budgeting in general? Well let’s take it a step further…how do you (and others) go about building your budget?

BEANS?!!?

Sounds like you need to be doing that venting in some air conditioning! I’m a cold weather guy myself, and if I could send you on a trip to a freezer for an afternoon I’d do it!

There’s a LOT that goes into global monetary policy. I know more than some, but it’s complicated in a way that’s not easy or quick to explain here.

So to try and keep it short, there’s at least a couple major trade-offs. First, it would be somewhat offset by Australian immigrants working in other foreign countries and sending money home to Australia. Second, Australia has global trade partners for a multitude of things and can offset imbalances through borrowing or lending through international trade if and when needed.

There’s really so much more that goes into it and it’s a bit different for every country, but that’s a broad idea of how it can balance out.
