    Wooo we’ve paid off 100th of the house.

    Still wanna know why the interest on our fixed rate increased tho.

    I’m waiting to get all my data from reddit and deleting my account. I’m super disillusioned with the melb subreddit in particular. Time to move on.

    Slept so terribly last night. Woke up multiple times, couldn’t get comfy. So strange! I went to sleep so comfy…

    I think I have figured out what my relo problem is.

    It’s the consistency. I think because I might send a message one day and then I get a reply the next day or even the day after sometimes, I just want more.

    It’s probably a bit much of me to expect that from someone if they’re busy and hardly on their phone, but even just a dot or an emoji or something that would take five seconds to send would keep me at bay. I’ve dealt with inconsistency in a relationship before and it turned out that that person didn’t have good intentions. I know rationally with this guy, he’s not an absolute prick and wouldn’t do that. I know that he does care. Unless I’m lying to myself

    I think a simple message each day would just show that he cares and is willing to put in the effort.

    Am I asking for too much?

      No. It leaves you wondering. Seems like a potential, keep you hanging and wondering routine. Pretty easy to send an I’m thinking of you text.

      Meanwhile, I’ve only just sat down to begrudgingly start on the work that I have to get in before 9am Monday, which I’ve spent all of today doing procrastichores (in a house I have zero obligations to clean).

      I suspect I’ll be up till 2-3am again but doing so means I can take Monday off, more or less.

      I envy your ability to get things done ahead of time…!

          Psychiatrist has all but diagnosed me with the latter. She finishes up tomorrow and will start me on meds. Idk if that’s the whole story but I’ve been like this my whole life so I guess I’ll try.

    HEHEHE jumping on the Baldur’s Gate 3 craze, by borrowing my partner’s copy. Of course, I won’t be able to play until tomorrow night when they’re at work, but I’m excited. Last I played was like October of 2020 so it was EARLY days of the Early Access.

      I can’t wait to play it co-op with my partner. I dumped so so many hours into Baldurs Gate 2, but we have too many games on the go atm.

      Hope you have fun!

    Is a novated lease (which in my case includes insurance, fuel, and registration) really as good as companies make it sound, compared to just buying in cash?

      Rarely. Especially if comparing it to paying up front and not borrowing. Many years ago there were tax benefits if you drove a lot which could make it cheaper, but mostly these days it just gives you a lower monthly payment than taking a loan directly, primarily because there is a “balloon payment” at the end instead of paying off the full amount.

      There is also a lot of hassle involved in doing everything, as you have to go through the lease company. They are also taking out a loan in your name - I know someone who had problems getting a home loan, and discovered that the lease company had not been paying the loan payments which had impacted their credit.
