Director of Safeway Building and Renovations. Very lucky Husband to my Beautiful Wife Brookles, loving father of Sophia-Grace and Thomas James.Proud Australian.
My wife's dad is an old school Wog.
Hard working. Loves his family. Frugal. All round great bloke.
He worked 3 jobs when my wife was born and stayed at one of the companies for 43 years.
He has one investment property, the house my wife was born in, and their family home in an affluent area.
He has enough money to do whatever he wants but he's a tightass. Unbelievably tight.
I've spoken to him about it many times and he says all his life he followed a plan, built wealth, a great life for his family and has a simple goal to pass it down to his kids and grandkids.
We told him for years to enjoy his life's work. That's what we want. Fly business class. Go to expensive restaurants often. Buy whatever gadgets you want. Just enjoy it!
Nope. He is deadset he is passing on his accumulated wealth to his kids and grandkids.
Now it seems Labor will be taking a big cut of his life's work. In the spirit of "intergenerational fairness".
The confiscated wealth will be used to pay the ever expanding political class, send it overseas to things that have nothing to do with him, support free loaders and an NDIS program littered with fraud and waste.
Tall poppies will tell me why should he be able to accumulate wealth and pass it to his kids when they can't.
Well, try spending more than 40 years of your life working, saving and investing to give your family a head start in life.
Like every parent should do for their children.
@TimGossage@freodockers@peelthunder@AFLNation Well the big, no nonsense clubs would 100% do that without fear or favor and it pains me to say this, Freo are rapidly becoming a big no nonsense club. Seems the logical next link in the chain!
@sirswampthing Dear @sirswampthing my 9 year old son would like to know what’s the most wickets taken by a bowler in a in a row first class match- beyond a hatrick?
@SwannyQLD No it’s not Wayne and you damn well know it! We’re angry, we’re outraged and the thought of 2.5 years of inaction to vile behavior that the Australian people are better than, going unchecked will leave a bitter taste in the Australian spirit for a long time to come.
@WestCoastEagles No thank you, without these insipid displays of effort I would have succeeded in giving up drinking years ago. Thanks to this prolonged mediocrity I have justification to continue to enjoy a tipple. A proud history being reduced to embarrassment at the moment!
