Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money

Sat, Nov 14, 1:00 AM

From Sydney Money Club

4.8

**Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money** One of our members suggested we have a session on the FIRE movement — Financial Independence, Retire Early — so let’s give it a go. We’ll spend some time talking about FIRE: what it is, whether it’s realistic, saving rates, investing and the trade-offs involved. Then we’ll open it up into a completely free-form money discussion — what are you saving for, how are you saving, what are you investing in, what do you want to understand better? We also have a couple of stocks we are going to talk about as requested by members. If you have any you're curious about, please put them in the event chat. **No assumed knowledge whatsoever.** Beginners are very welcome. I work as a share analyst, so I’m very happy to talk about shares and investing all day long, but this isn’t intended to be a lecture. Bring whatever money questions or subjects interest you and we’ll see where the conversation goes. We’ll keep this one small — around 10 people — and grab a table at the pub for a relaxed chat over drinks and nibbles.

Spotting Failure Before It's To Late (KPMG) + Townhouses (Casandra & Mauro)

Sat, Nov 14, 2:30 AM

From Property Developer Network (Sydney)

4.7

**\*\*\*RSVP PROCESS - CRITICAL INFO\*\*\*** Please be aware, we don't use the Meetup website to take RSVPs, so you will need to register on this link to lock in your place (bookings essential) - [https://propdev.info/uMvs](https://propdev.info/uMvs) We run events most weekends around Australia so you can attend either physically in your local area, or live-stream to any event around the country. **In-Person:** 1:30pm (Sydney time) to 'Mingle With The Expert' **Virtual:** 2pm (Sydney time) **INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:** *Spotting Failure Before It's To Late! KPMG (Amanda Coneyworth)* Your property development looks profitable. But what happens when the money runs out? You’ve found the site. The numbers stack up. Your project is underway Then costs blow out. Funding gets tight. Your lender wants answers, and suddenly you need more capital to get the project across the line. The deal that looked so promising is now putting your money, your timeline and your profits at risk. Many mum-and-dad developers assume they can simply inject more money, secure additional funding or find a way through. But what if the shortfall is bigger than expected? What if your forecasts are wrong, or your lender takes control of critical decisions? Because when a development comes under financial pressure, the decisions you make and how quickly you act can determine whether you save the project, restructure your finances or face a forced sale So, would you recognise the warning signs before your project becomes a financial crisis? And would you know what options are available to protect your investment? At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, **Amanda Coneyworth** from **KPMG** will present Property Deals Under Pressure: How to Spot Trouble Early and Preserve Your Options. You’ll gain insights into: · The early warning signs that your development is heading into financial trouble · What good financial reporting looks like and how to understand your true financial position · What happens when funding runs out or additional capital is needed · Your options to rescue, restructure or exit a struggling project · Common mistakes that can destroy value and limit your options · What to consider before entering a money partner arrangement Most importantly, you’ll learn how to stress-test your project’s finances, assess your remaining funding and identify potential problems before your options narrow. Because successful property development isn't just about finding the right deal. It's about protecting your investment and knowing what to do when the numbers stop working. **INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:** *1 into 7 Town House (Cassandra & Mauro Buono)* *1600m2,R3, Hornsby, New South Wales* You’ve found the property. You’re planning a three-lot subdivision. You’ve done your homework. Then the site gets rezoned. Suddenly, you can build seven townhouses instead. Happy days, right? Then development reality kicks in. Stormwater easement approvals. A builder with other priorities when you're at peak debt and poor paperwork resulting in over $300,000 in unexpected variations. Suddenly, what looked like a great development opportunity becomes a whole lot more complicated. Here’s what many mum and dad developers don’t realise: **A great deal can still go wrong if you don’t keep control of the build.** **Mauro** and **Cassandra Buono** experienced exactly that with their townhouse development. Originally planning three houses, rezoning opened the door to seven townhouses. They found a good private lender and benefited from a market where townhouses were in short supply. But when their builder failed to deliver, Mauro had to roll up his sleeves, get hands-on and help push the project towards completion. So what went right? What went wrong? And what would they do differently next time? At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Mauro and Cassandra will share: • How they found the opportunity and secured the site • How rezoning transformed the project from a three-lot subdivision to seven townhouses • How they sourced private funding • The costly lessons of unexpected variations and poor builder paperwork • How they dealt with builder delays and stepped in to get the job done • And the key lessons they learned along the way Because property development isn’t just about finding a great site. It’s about managing the risks, controlling the costs and knowing what to do when things don’t go to plan. ***Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!*** See you all soon!

Sydney Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience

Tue, Nov 17, 7:00 AM

From Singles Events in Sydney, Tokyo, Cape Town and Johannesburg

4.6

**Tired of dating apps and conversations that go nowhere?** **What if meeting new people could actually feel good again?** When we started Conscious Connections, I interviewed hundreds of people about dating and connection. And I kept hearing the same things: *"I'm tired of swiping and having the same conversations over and over."* *"I just want to meet someone I can have a real connection with."* *"Dating feels so superficial these days."* *"I'm exhausted by dating apps. I want to meet people in real life."* Underneath all those frustrations was the same longing: to meet people we can be ourselves with. To laugh, feel at ease, have meaningful conversations, and discover where a genuine connection might lead. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. Two hours that give you energy instead of taking it. Playful, warm, alive. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, honest and real again. 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗦𝗩𝗣. 👉 $59 to book your place, and hear from people who've been: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Each booking is a place in our monthly Relational Lab. Your session date, time and Zoom link arrive by email within 24 hours. Booking close to a session? Go for it. We'll do our best to place you in it, or you'll join the following one. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗔𝗕? A guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction. Less performance. Less pressure. Far less small talk. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂. It's a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness and real-world human connection, made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦 \- Two hours of live\, guided connection games from your own couch \- Cameras on\, everyone present: you laugh\, play\, move and engage \- Facilitated in real time by Eloah\, with 15 years of experience\, and shaped around whoever is there \- An optional in\-person gathering afterward for those who join the session\, where applicable \- A WhatsApp thread to stay connected\, where applicable 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨 \- The felt experience of being fully yourself with people you just met \- Relational tools you carry into dates\, friendships\, family and every room you walk into \- For some\, new friends\, a whole new circle\, even a partner\. We've seen all of it grow from here\. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗜𝗙 \- You value growth\, and you want it to feel good\, fun and playful \- You'd rather experience something than just consume more content \- You're craving social spaces with more depth \- You want deeper connection without forced intimacy \- You're open to meeting people in a more intentional way 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗦𝗞 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? For 2 hours, you step into a parallel world where strangers stop feeling like strangers. We play connection games designed to drop the small talk, meet our common humanity, and exhale into the ease of being yourself with others. For some, it's the first time they've ever felt this. You're in control at all times, choosing your edges: playful and light, or bold and deep. Often, the lighter we play, the deeper it gets. We've seen people make lifelong friends, meet partners, even heal their relationship with a parent. It isn't therapy. It's what becomes possible when a space is held this well. 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲? Neither would we, if the only calls we'd been on were meetings that drag on or webinars where someone talks at you. This is the opposite. Everyone's camera is on, everyone's playing, and you feel connected within minutes. Facilitated with mastery, online is as powerful as being in the room. We know, because we've run both for years. You come exactly as you are, from your own couch, with no outfit, no commute and no awkward entrance. Most people leave lighter than they arrived. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻? After the online session, you're invited to an optional gathering in person, where applicable. It's your chance to practice what you've learned out in the world, without the small talk. Eloah chooses the place and time with care, based on who was present, the weather, what's happening in the city that day, and sometimes what the group discovered about each other's passions and hobbies. 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? The tools are yours for life. You'll notice them on your next date, in your next hard conversation, at your next dinner with friends. People come back months later and tell us how differently they now walk into a room. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀? Dating apps are a tool. Connection games are a tool, too. What matters is how they're designed, how we use them, and the intention we bring. Here, you're among people who chose to show up with curiosity and a genuine desire to connect. Instead of trying to impress someone through a profile or a string of messages, you experience one another in real time. You discover how people listen, laugh, express themselves, navigate vulnerability and respond to others. And you get to notice how you feel in their presence. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? It's slow dating, and the long game is the shortcut. Instead of pairing you up, rotating you and praying for chemistry, most games are played with everyone together, so you meet each other as humans first. Many people leave with new friends, some with a whole new circle, and if more develops over time, it grows from a solid foundation. On a first date, people show their best face. Here, you see the full face, and your chances of falling for a real, imperfect human are much higher. 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁? This is a connection-to-self-first space. Many people who ask this have had experiences where things got sexual or romantic too fast, and it felt forced. Sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies there is, and it deserves respect. Here, you connect to all of yourself first, and then to others as whole people. You learn relational frameworks you can play as gently or as boldly as you choose. Some people arrive mending a broken heart, unsure they even want to date again. Others arrive ready for something wild and alive. Nothing is pushed on you, and you move at your own pace. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀? People who want more depth in how they meet others. Some are new to the city and rebuilding their circle. Some are coming out of a long relationship and wondering where to start. Many have full, busy lives and still want more. Plenty are introverts who would never walk into a bar mixer. What they share: curiosity, an open heart and readiness to meet their equals. 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲? Sessions are open to every adult age, so who's there changes from month to month. What people share is readiness for real connection, and that tends to matter far more than a birth year. Many say their most surprising connection was with someone they'd never have swiped on, or who would never have swiped on them. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲? Groups are kept small by design, so you're never just watching a screen full of talking heads. Connection deepens when there's room for every voice. This is also where you meet your city's introverts: you thought you knew everyone, and they've been hiding. If you happen to be the only one on the day, it becomes a private 1:1 session with Eloah, normally $319, at no extra cost to you. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 $𝟱𝟵? You're investing in an experience most people never have, held by a facilitator with 15 years of experience. One game, one moment, can change the trajectory of your life. We keep it as affordable as possible so this glimpse of what's possible can reach everyone. We tend to overestimate the cost of doing something, and underestimate the cost of not doing it. Each session takes its own shape with whoever is present. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁. Free to RSVP. 👉 $59 to book your place: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)

From Books & Bevvies — Book Swap Social Sydney

4.9

Welcome to **Books & Bevvies** — a casual book swap and drinks social in the Sydney CBD. This is not a book club with homework. It’s a simple, low-key way to meet people, chat about what you’ve been reading, and walk out with something new. **HOW IT WORKS** Bring a book you’re happy to part with. Pop it on the swap table when you arrive. Mingle, chat, and swap recommendations. When the swap opens, take a book that catches your eye. Stay for a drink and a conversation after. **WHAT TO BRING** One book, any genre and any reading level. **GOOD TO KNOW** The venue relies on accurate numbers for staffing, so if you can’t make it, please change your RSVP to “not going”. Repeated no-shows may result in removal from the group. The venue is kindly not enforcing a minimum spend, but please support them by buying a drink, soft drink, or some lunch during the swap if you can. There is no mandatory entry fee, but voluntary contributions are **very much** appreciated. The group costs around **$65 a month to keep running**, so if you enjoy the swap and are in a position to chip in, even $5 or $10 makes a real difference. Please feel free to contribute with cash or via PayID at any stage through the swap. **WHERE WE’LL BE** We’ll be in the Market Street Garden Bar, with a table full of books and bevvies.

## **Harbour After Dark 🌆** ## **Where meaningful conversations, genuine connection, and new friendships begin.** Step into a different kind of Friday night. Harbour After Dark brings together professionals, business owners and people who are intentional about creating a full and meaningful life. It is for those who value genuine conversation, authentic connection and spending time with others who are also looking to build enriching relationships and a strong sense of community. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To enjoy conversations that feel easy, genuine and energising. As life becomes busier, it is easy to realise that while we know plenty of people, we do not always have a community where we can simply show up, relax and enjoy being ourselves. Harbour After Dark was created to be that place. A place where familiar faces become friends, new conversations happen naturally and connection grows over time. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established monthly gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Many of our guests have been attending for years and often bring friends along, while new faces join every month, making it easy to feel welcome whether it is your first event or your tenth. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly environment where meaningful conversations happen naturally. There is no pressure to network or impress anyone. Just an opportunity to enjoy the company of good people and finish the week surrounded by genuine connection. ## **Event Details** 📅 **Friday 6 November** 🕡 **6:30 pm to 9:30 pm** 📍**Novotel Darling Square Hotel** 17 Little Pier St, Darling Harbour NSW 2000 ## **Dress Code** We encourage you to make an effort and dress with confidence.

It was created to build a community where people feel welcome, conversations happen naturally and genuine friendships have the opportunity to grow. Kindness, respect and inclusiveness are at the heart of every event, and we ask all guests to contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes Harbour After Dark so special. Photography and videography may take place during the evening for use across our website, social media and promotional material. By attending, you acknowledge and consent to this. If you would prefer not to appear in photos or videos, this event may not be the right fit for you. I look forward to welcoming you. **Cristina Davy**
