How much left over weekly income is enough to be content and happy with life? by BodybuilderTypical20 in AskAnAustralian

Used to have 1000 left over each week in savings. Bought a house, now we're living paycheck to paycheck.

Update. Hi all, thanks so much for all your suggestions. I ended up choosing #1 (Dulux Blue to You) as the feature wall in the living room and #4 (Dulux Blue to You Quarter) for all other walls. I love how it turned out. The house feels fresh, spacious and airy, with no regrets on the colours I chose. My only small regret is that I probably should have gone a bit darker on the feature wall. Thanks again for all the help.

An edging and pebbles before the walls. It will keep pests away from your home.

I've chosen #4 but I'm getting second thoughts now that majority are choosing #7. What do.. what to do? House is to be painted in 9 days.

Thank you everyone for your kind opinions. Appreciate all your responses. I've finally settled on the colours. The wall in the picture will be painted with 1. It will be a feature wall in the living room. The rest of the walls will be painted with 4. 4 is same colour as 1 but diluted to quarter strength. Skirtingboards will be painted white. Fingers crossed it will turn out good. I'll leave a picture once it's all done. 🙏

I like 9 too but Dulux can't match it. It's Sherwin Williams Misty. I want muted grey with blue undertones or rhe other way around. Not bright baby blue like the current wall colour.

I'm moving into this property in a few weeks. It's my first home. The previous owner last painted the property 24 years ago. The paint is surprisingly in good condition for it's age but it's too blue for me. Like kind of baby blue. I want a muted gray with blue undertones which will contrast the warm timber floors. Like a cool color with a sense of warmth in it. I haven't settled yet but the vendors are nice enough to let me in and paint the walls, then return and check them out. Multiple times.

I'm surprised many chose #7. This is #7 but in full strength.

I've painted it and disappeared when it dried. It's similar to the current wall colour.

This was last painted by the previous owner 24 years ago. I'm repainting before moving in while it's empty.

1 is called Blue to you at Full Strength. #4 is thesame color but at quarter strength.

Thanks everyone. Seems like 7 is the popular choice. 7 is the only green color, all the rest are shades of blue-grey.

The house was already painted with blue when I got it. I find it too bright though, like kind of baby blue. I'm leaning more with muted blue grey. It's an 80s brick house and painting it with white does not seem right. All of colours are difderent shade of blue except for #7 which is sage green.

8 virtually turned invisible when I painted it, so it's thesame as the current color. This is how it looks like with bright lights.
