not sure what the tax office will think of me.

i got one super payout and immediately went to go get my fucked up car fixed cos it was getting absolutely terrifying driving to work with bad rear shocks (i work on the road) and ended up with a newer car that will last me more than 5 minutes, and pretty much the one i wanted. technically a work investment and cant deny i needed a reliable car. they can come at me. some other work gear, and with a bit of extra saving was able to get myself exactly what i was after for my birthday.

thing is i knew this shit was coming so everything else was paid up. im not happy about it and its going to be a stretch but this 6 weeks off im forced to take is actually easily survivable, literally nothing i need to get now, i was never going to see my superannuation anyway (im not going to live long enogh to retire) and no one to pass it on to so those government fuckers would have gotten it anyway.

before anyone rees 'superannuation' is pension money. mandatory for employers to take a couple of percent out of your pay and put it into super, not meant to be able to touch it until retirement, as in, they would not even let me have any when i was borderline homeless to move in an emergency, and ive got a fucking surprising amount of it too, its my money paid in, my money taking it out, not taxpayer... just means i might be a taxpayer problem later on if i manage to survive long enoguh to retire.
