tbh, i dont see travel happening this year either.

I've DIY'd Greece. easy enough. used the ferries to go between the islands. cheap, quick ( if you island-hop), clean, etc.. take in the Aegen etc.. must-do islands Santorini and Mykonos but they are very commercial/touristy. Go there for the must-get pics etc, but there's nothing to really howl...

honestly the best most easiest thing to do....is trying to connect to his wifi :-) 3 doors down should be good for more than 1mbps... if you can, then give him your money! (or not)

samsung own Harman, who makes JBL. so its all similair tech some even say so. nothing beats actual speakers in the 5.1 setup or any x.1... everything else pales or just tries at best. those 5.1 amp and speaker setups by yamaha/onkyo/etc will outperform any soundbar in that price range. believe...

$30 ahh the sweet spot! no customs! i got a mecool km9 pro android tv (certified) tv box last week. pretty neat smart tv experience. i have a sammy smart tv and chromecast and still this android tv experience is quiet something!

dhl is super quick, from order to phone in my hands friday midday to sunday 3pm.2days + a few hour. BUT : fees are stiff. I think i paid about R550....R375 of it customs and vat etc. the rest dhl fees. the acutal shipping cost was another R400 i think. so R900 for dhl express shipping option AND...

GP. Randburg. When you book the appointment they do tell you on the booking page to book early morning for JHB and when other ones become available as well.. I think I got online at 8am Tuesday morning I think and got the booking. There were plenty but going fast!

what a seamless process it is. in, eye tested, processed, paid = under 30mins. Well done guys!

so all in all what an amazing experience with DHL express. sure it cost a bit, but they literally picked up the phone Friday morning in HK, sent me customs invoice, i paid, it cleared customs, and DHL was at my dor Sunday 2pm. just over 2 days end-to-end. Got a lenovo z5s for under 3k all in...

canceled a few that were getting delayed etc. Then re ordered after confirming with some sellers on gearbest. also Buffalo Courier are only going back to work on 12 Feb they say. so besides courier delays AND seller delays, you gotta make sure. I ended up re ordering and using DHL instead for...

another good idea is to automate everything. debit orders + scheduled e-payments, etc etc, deposits to investment accounts etc etc. every recurring expense, recurring payment, savings etc. automate! Remove the biggest risk to your future: yourself!

cguy you making some very good points there buddy. still, the OP should ask rather how to make the most out of life. its very subjective, but it will be interesting what different people hold dear.

I have some comments here. perhaps this is the one thread we can be mature enough to agree to disagree without getting into a cockfight! 1. debt > paying it off is not correcting the behavior. correct the behavior first. 2. I agree 2million% 3. I do not agree with this one. earn more money and...

There is ONLY one answer here: SPEND LESS! This has 2 effects: 1. If you spend less, you won't need a lot to get by on. 2. If you spend less, your "number" ( the figure you need to reach till you can live off investments) becomes more easily attainable, sooner. So you get out of the rat race...

less than we buy cars yes, but it was the lesser of 2 evils. there was no way I was going to let that car go for the yr/milage and condition it was. i was happy to take 10% less than trade... WBC was at around trade -30%, and the one dealer i went to was worse than that!
