That charge substantially lowered your payback odds .

There’s a reason I call them ‘scratch and lose’.

@The Rat It was a really good steak, thanks (lol you’re right, better be for the price). It’s the sides that get you, side of mushrooms and onions for $14 (the price of an entree at most places) is pretty intense. I think at the steakhouse I went to, a side of mashed potatoes was $8 or something =)

It's nice to splurge every now and then, especially on certain occasions. They better have made your steaks right! I went to the Keg steakhouse a couple of years ago and ordered a side order of mushrooms and onions with my steak. Little did I know that it cost $14 for that side order when the bill came! .-= The Rat´s last blog ..Eye-Catching Blogs: Weekly Financial Roll Call =-.

@Bytta I went to the Great Barrier Reef last summer (well, your winter) and it was amazing! So beautiful… Australia is just beautiful- your flora and fauna kicks north america’s flora and fauna butt any day! =) I wonder if the 4% is keeping the housing costs down? (Because the low interest rate here is driving prices up- bidding wars are happening again!) Though that can’t be the case since Melbourne and Sydney are way up there in the unaffordability survey as well. Thanks for visiting- and good luck on completing your diving certificate!

I’m planning to go to Great Barrier Reef to complete the open water certificate. I’ve always wanted to go there, so killing two birds with one stone.

We fare pretty well compared to the other OECD nations. The official interest rate is now sitting on 4% and will climb further anytime soon. It’s good for savers, but as a mortgage owner, I don’t like it that much.

@Bible Debt LOL I know! “young and semi-thrifty” Oh well, it was a delicious steak dinner anyway! Yeah, $20-30 would be my max too, except on rare occasions =)

Might have to change your name to young and not so thrifty. $75 is a hefty sum for one person! I think $20-30 is the most I would spend per person.
