Watching this tonight “Young Sherlock” series, for a bit of fun https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8599532/

On 8 May 2026 our rent will increase by $110, to $750 per week. They only offered a new lease for one year, instead of our usual two years.  They are able to increase rent during a 2 year lease but need to indicate by how much. So, if in 2027 they want to increase by an astronomical amount, they'll now be free to do so, rather than locking in an amount today. Owners can only increase rents annually, instead of every 6 months (as used to be). Government mandated that under the guise of supporting tenants, instead we are be paying higher rents for longer & it pushes up rent prices earlier and faster. Government & agents get more dollars via taxes and fees that way. Real estate agents are paid a percentage of rental income to manage the property (as well as on property sales commissions). Plenty of self-interest for them to encourage owners to increase rents. When rent is increased, we need to top up the bond money held. For example, we'll need to pay an added $440 for the top up this time. In Western Australia, rental bonds are held by the Bond Administrator, which is an independent government body. Government will be earning on those dollars, we don't get any interest or investment earnings on that bond (dead money to tenants). Quite the "system" huh? 😡🤬❤️ When interest rates were increased, each time we paid a month’s rent in advance to support our property owners with a lump sum. We have fixed all small repairs ourselves over the years and paid for tree cutters, a new fence, helped buy roller shutters, bought new pads for the evaporative cooler and fixed a collapsing carport ceiling, plus many more things over the years. That stops now. Any small thing that wants fixing will involve a call to the agent. The 3 months rent we have in advance will now be pulled back to only a week in advance, so we’ll pause our rent payments till 28 May, 2026. We were generous during all the years when things were tough for landlords. Now the tables have turned yet a little kindness is not afforded us. Heck, we didn’t even take advantage of the rental moratorium during covid. Having bought this place in 2005, I’d say it’s well paid off by the property owners. Particularly with negative gearing, which occurs when you borrow money to make an investment and the ongoing expenses of that investment are greater than the ongoing income you receive from it. In this scenario, you can deduct this loss from your total taxable income each financial year. We are very generous people, however we’re not willing to be exploited to that extent. I understand that they want to stay ahead of the inflation curve and that ‘the system’ rewards this behaviour. Yet reciprocation can still “be a thing” (even if only a little). Another lesson learned, i.e. not everyone thinks the way we do. As for the option of moving… have you seen the state of the rental market in Perth or Australia? As for migrating… no one would have us at our ages with a pensioner’s income. Thanks for listening to my little rant! I feel better now. Hope you didn’t mind being dumped on. This too shall pass. 😂 😂 😂 😂 LOL

#302 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web I came across the word Dayenu in an article about Stephen Hawking at Big Think. See this older blog post at which I explain more. Ben Kweller adopts the word “Dayenu” in the song Lizzy on his album Sha Sha. On his website he writes: Dienu is like an old folk word that’s Hebrew and it means ‘it would have been enough’… when something good happens to you and then another good thing happens to you. What you had in the first place would have been enough, if nothing else happens to you. It’s all about counting your blessings and staying grounded. (Link is below)

Life Power Tip Stop fighting yourself! Everything can be gradually changed for the better. Perfection is not the goal, progress is. Are you making progress? Then all is right with your world. Be less impatient and observe what is happening and how you can affect the situation. What actions can you take within your current means and with current resources? Action Go to a global action site and sign a petition or click on an action link. Challenge Take a deliberate 30-minute break to simply ‘be with’ yourself. Quote Paying attention is proactive. It is a conscious act that expands our consciousness. -Joseph Deitch Clearing Shift your focus away from hours and thinking more about what is actually being accomplished, increasing productivity. Question What price do you pay for negative feelings? Affirmation I choose to imagine a wonderful life. Uplifting Extra Most advice about love feels vague. “Be open”, they say. “Trust the universe”. Let’s be honest, that’s not enough. What you need is something real. Something personal. Here’s something that is both simple and tailored to you. It’s a free, customized soulmate reading that fits you, your history, your energy, your story, all distilled into a two-minute experience. No fluff, no guesswork. If you’ve ever wondered who you are meant to be with or if feeling stuck in your love life has become too familiar, this might give you a surprising spark. This isn’t a generic message because it’s built from your own details and what matters most to you. (Link is below)

Life Power Tip Train yourself to stay focused on “one thing” if you tend to be easily distracted. So many things can keep us interested and sidetracked from where we say we want to be going. Place reminders everywhere about your primary targets and take actions daily that move you toward those intentions. If you are an easily distracted person, design one, single, super goal and stay on target with that until it is accomplished. Then create another. Juggling several goals may not be for you! Action Put on your favorite CD or audio and listen to it, without multi-tasking. Challenge Study babies. They fall, get up, and try repeatedly, and then they walk. Quote What you want in your life occasionally shows up, what you must have always does. -Doug Firebaugh Clearing Sharpen all the knives in your kitchen.

Life Power Tip Start where you are. Allow. You do not need to do a quantum leap. Know the direction you want to travel and by when you would like to get there, then map out a plan. If it is not feasible and it does not look fun, change the plan so it fits amongst all the other things to which you are committed to achieving. Have some compassion for yourself and be a little generous. Taking daily steps toward the goal will grow your accomplishments exponentially. Just keep taking the steps that you know you need to take. Action Book a hairdresser appointment, within the next three weeks. Challenge Stop having mental arguments with the things you think should not have happened.
