Retirement Reading Quest – Reading my way to ‘free’ council rates.

I’m on a quest to borrow and read enough books to, in effect, cancel out the cost of my council rates per year.
It’s outlined in this post.

Year 6 (2025/2026) 

So far – $2,2500.

Year 5 (2024/2025) $2,339 and dog rego ($63) = $2,435.

Finished it before I even had the new rates notice ready.

Year 4 (2023/2024)  $2,413.

Success! Not sure exactly when I passed the total, because I was waiting on the dog registrations to come through. But yes – I blitzed it.

Year 3: (2022/2023) $2,350

12/01/2023 FINISHED! Not working gives me heaps more reading time – I recommend it!

Year 2: (2021/2022) $2,200 

Finished 28/06/2022

YEAR 1 : 2021… $1,800
SUCCESS 31/08/2021
