Topic: Teach Me Something | |

This is where you use your experience in work or life
to teach us some things which have been useful or helpful to you in some way. Here is a one. The rule of 72 (approximate). If you want to know approximately how many years it will take for your money (or debt) to double with a certain compound interest rate then use the factors of 72. For example, at 8% interest it takes 9 years to double (8x9=72) at 3% it takes 24 years to double. For a rate as high as 18% it only takes 4 years. The actual number is closer to 70...but 72 is nice to use because it can be factored so many ways. So....who will be next? |

Always carry a pair of fencing pliers, a can of ground black pepper, and a mintie in your car...
fencing wire can be used for a multitude of roadside rapairs... split pin gone? fencing wire... engine mount cracked? fencing wire, good ole 8 guage straight wire... small leak in the radiator, small split in the hose? A full can of black pepper and any lisuid you have.. pineapple juice, urine... it will get you out of the desert.. Stone hole in the fuel tank? Chew a mintie, then stick it to the hole, the petrol mixes with it and it sets solid.. Liquid nails will stick the top tank back on a radiator back on, and get you out of the sh*t for 200 kms or so... Need to change a tyre, a truck tyre? Make sure if you are a woman, to always carry a piece of metal pipe, galvanised plumbing pipe is perfect, slip it over the wheel brace as an extender, then jump on it to loosen the nuts. I have about a gazillion tonnes of stuff... How to survive in the aussie bush, how to track native animals, for food, and to water... what to eat in the bush.... how to catch yabbies, without a pot... how to weave a grass basket yabbie pot,,, all sorts.. |
