Tip ko lang sayo tutal generous ata offer sayo...i-negotiate mo na mag salary sacrifice ka...paabutin mo sa lower tax bracket ang salary mo.
Kunwari 90k annual salary nasa 30+% tax yan...ipagawa mo sa employer mo na isalary sacrifice niya kunwari 30k...Mangyayari niyan...30k mo mapupunta sa superannuation tapos ang income tax mo bababa sa 20%+...malaking katipiran sayo yun

Usually umuuwi na mga officemates ko ng 4:30pm. Akala ko kasi 5:00pm ang uwian sinabihan ako na "you can go home early, you don't need to stay until 5:00pm. As long as you render the 7.6 hours you can go".
Medyo loaded sa work napapag isip isip ako ng kung anu the past 3 days pero nung pinakita na yung sample pay slip today natahimik na ko hehe

@LokiJr
$220/week kasama na kuryente & water. 2 bedroom granny flat kami natira ng wife ko. Actually may tiningnan kami ng wife ko bago ako magstart sa work kaso sobrang lapit tatawid lang ako office na, ayoko ng ganun. Gusto ko pa din yung ngttravel, via public transport mga 40mins din byahe. Sa labas kasi ng city located yung office, malapit sa airport.
Pero kung may car mga 20mins lang.
