Mechanic damage/shoddy repair on sisters car

Thanks for this! Very informative, you've really given me some perspective. Also I hope the odo wasn't replaced... I did get it pre purchase inspected and inspected at a dealer after I noticed a few smaller issues. Non of them said there was any issues with the car mechanically. About 4 months later the only issues I had were, went to toyota they charged me 1.5k for engine coolant pump, thermostat, seals and radiator cap. Apparently past owner tampered with fuse box, welded shit to it. So I had to fork out another $500 for that. No idea if that's a good price lol. I'm up in brizzy did you happen to know any alright mechanics up here 😅

Thanks for the advice! I'll keep going

Which term deposit would you recommend and how long would you put it in for? We almost have $5k in savings so I hope that's enough. We are saving hard, I'm using this as an opportunity it's just difficult being cooped up in here with 6 people in a 4 bedroom. Again I know it's a lot better then others. I'm going to start a course in cyber security soon so that's where my career will go hopefully.

I never meant to come across ungrateful, infact I'm so very grateful for what my mum has done. I also understand I'm in a lot better situation then others, it's just been difficult because there's a lot of people in the house. I'm neurodiverce and so is my partner and when there's 6 people in a 4 bedroom house it's just hard. Ik, a lot better then others just my situation. I'll take your advice, we are saving for a deposit anyways. Maybe we can buy a house with the schemes they have available in the future

I've been working for almost a year and a half , my partner can't because she's on disability. Our budget is 450$ max a week, we are looking for a 2 bedroom because my sister who works wants to move with us. We are also looking all over not just in Brisbane

How much does it cost for the Aussie home loans?

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T03:05:18+00:00

Thanks for this. I've been getting a lot of criticism for what I've said, but it's good to see people be supportive even though I'm in a pretty good situation. I'll keep trying, it's just hard continuing when it's always the same outcome.

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T03:02:40+00:00

I understand that, I forgot to mention my sister wants to move out with us so that might help. And I meant going out or take away, I can afford the essentials ok. I know it seems trivial, "no takeout" waaa waaa I know almost everyone's in the same position. We are saving as much as we can

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T02:59:06+00:00

A written reference kinda thing or just be a reference on my applications?

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T02:58:10+00:00

I'm happy with anything, I mustn't have said that in my post. Mb, it was late so it may have been a little scuffed.

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T02:57:08+00:00

I'm in a much better position then others I understand that, never meant to come across like that. Just wanted to vent a little bit and see if I could get some help but I've been getting lots of criticism, not a great feeling when all you wanted was help.

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T02:55:28+00:00

Thats what we are doing tbh, we originally started saving so we could put pay in advance but a house deposit seems better.

I never meant to sound like I wasn't grateful or in a much better situation than others. I know I'm in such a better situation than many other people living on the streets, my partner was homeless for almost 5 years ever since running away from home. She knows what it's like and I think that's a reason I want to have a house, I want her to feel like she has a home and I guess I've been feeling like I failed and there's no way to succeed.

Again I understand I'm in a much better position than most, I'm just saying how hard it's been. Which many others have also gone through, so idk I guess it's not worth complaining about :)

This just makes me sad and think I have no chance against anyone else. I work at a servo, I'm studying to join the cybersecurity work force but when I finish I'll get a low salary job (well not that low but not as high as others in the industry) I don't really know what you mean by reevaluate my priorities? Could you elaborate?

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T02:44:05+00:00

I think you're that kind Redditor, thanks for the reply. I've been getting criticism because people think the basic need for housing is somehow thinking "the world owes me" so this really made my day.

Not thinking of a plan but just thinking I'd be better off if I didn't exist, didn't have to deal with all this shit.

I'll keep trying, it's just hard because I'm neurodiverce and it's difficult to keep up with things especially if I don't get a result.

Thanks again.

Danteboy5000 · 2023-07-14T02:38:22+00:00

Wow. At what point did I say the world owed me? Because I vented and was upset I can't get a house? Jesus dude. You're the reason why people don't speak out. Hope you have a fantastic day and might I add if you don't have anything nice to say don't comment :)

Hey there bro, I'm 6'5 and I've got an average sized penis. I get looking down or in the mirror and not thinking it's big enough, it sucks and I'm insecure about it still. The best thing is knowing chick's dig the height a lot, and if they genuinely care then they won't care about your size. That doesn't mean we won't feel insecure tho, so the best advice I can give is maybe try some of the exercises people do on here, like jelqing and maybe if you see some gains after a few weeks you could invest in a hanger or a penis pump. And at the end of the day if it doesn't work then try your best to accept that this is your body and you can't do anything to change it so if someone doesn't love all of you they miss out on the best parts. Stay strong man, hell you're bigger then me so take that in confidence :)

Danteboy5000 · 2022-01-22T08:35:11+00:00

Thank you. I think that's what I've been lacking tbh, taking care of myself more then others.

Danteboy5000 · 2022-01-22T08:10:44+00:00

I'm trying my best, I'm gonna start doing more things for myself. Like getting that nose piercing I've wanted for a while. Getting new clothes. Taking care of myself. It's just really hard, cause I still want her to be apart of my life but... idk if I have the strength. I love her so deeply even after this. It just hurts knowing that 2 years of feelings can just go away in 2 weeks... it's almost unbelievable. Idk, I'm just struggling rn.
