Out of interest, what coin was this from?
I’ve dabbled in a couple and it’s been interesting watching the fluctuations

Enjoy the passive aggressive letter you will receive from the ATO about capital gains tax

How’s the rub rub??

14yo lad starting his working career at H/Jacks, working hard for his $11.30 per hour , bit of a come down from his $90 for 2 hours of umpiring during winter but he has embraced it and enjoying it which is half the battle.

How good is the independence and how they realise that money doesn't just grow on trees?

My lad doesn't really apply himself at school as well as he should and has found himself two jobs, he goes to school on the days that he isn't working and has been keeping up with his school work after hours.

It's hard for me to accept given my two girls were pretty much straight A students and as much as I used to stuff about at school my grades were generally immaculate, he isn't thick but has generally lacked enthusiasm for anything that doesn't involve a ball.

I've had to succumb though and allow him to work, he's never going to be running for congress so it's probably best that he learns what the real life is all about, it probably hasn't helped that he knows he has a job lined up the day he turns 18.

A good mate passed away several years ago, his wife, considerably younger than him was left single with 3 adolescent kids, it's not unreasonable to say she was sad, very sad, understandably, for many years.

I see on the weekend she was camping with a fella, since then I've spoken to her and found she's been with a bloke for a couple of months and her kids are just as happy as she is. Given my comment in the "sad" thread about Mum yesterday it's a nice little pick me up, couldn't be happier to see her happy, she sure as hell deserves it and I know my mate wanted nothing more than for her to be happy and loved.

Good shit.

One thing Ive learnt about watching my (and mates) teenagers growing up and going thru school is that they all find their way in life and school results are not the be all and end all that many parents feel they are. Real life experience and work is so much more valuable in growing their character and building relationships/social skills IMO.

That's where I think the school system is somewhat broken as it doesn't really cater at any level for students who aren't academically enthused. I love a lot of the stories coming out of the St Patricks Technical School.

Its definitely not the end of world, I have mates who completed uni and are still struggling to find work in their elite, ultra specialist field whilst many who didn't even finish year 10 have started up businesses of all sorts and doing great things. Then there are the ones who were a nightmare at school and exactly what you would expect them to be as an adult

Absolutely. My daughter left school in the middle of year 10, her school counsellor was no help to us as parents and lots to her as a student, we weren't happy at the time but it's turned out just fine. She's got an amazing work ethic and has forged herself a career as a barber. She's 21 at the end of the month and earns around $60k per year with growth to come.

What you will probably find is those kids ( like LM ) have good role models in the home who set good examples for work ethic.

The school education system is just fine. If you are academically minded, then matriculating and Uni is for you. If you are not that way inclined, there are so many options for kids after yr10 vocationally these days.

My eldest daughter is in Yr11 and she's got her sights on Uni so studying hard, taking the relevant subjects for SACE to matriculate etc etc. Her boyfriend wants to be a Plumber so is spending time at TAFE already during yr11 and into yr12 if he wants too. It all works out if you have the right guidance through the school.
