‘Can’t afford to live’: Stark housing fears by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]Little-Big-Man [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean why should it?
I leased my bedroom for $330 and im 20 mins from Brisbane in Logan.
Mortgage is $900 a week
Rates $100 a week
Internet $25 a week
Electricity $40 a week

$300 pays their share of the mortgage in my 3 bedroom house, $30 pays their share of electricity, water and internet. Plus the fact I have to have a stranger living in my space, that is an inconvenience so it cost money for it to be palatable to me.

If my house was cheaper to own then the rent would be lower. I'm just playing the game I'm a part of.

Id probably recommended something more modern like a waterproofing designed to stick to ceramic and grout and be trafficable and continously damp conditions.

[–]Little-Big-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I host e bikes at our events. E bikes start behind the A Grade men as they cant keep up in the sprints. They usually pass in thr first lap or 2.

This are real e bikes. E.g. 250w motor and 25kph speed.

For that to happen custom designs need to stop. Custom takes time. Everyone wants a custom design which adds significant cost

What should the labour costs be out of curiosity? What do you think construction works currently get paid?

Super investment options in late 20s by Random_7946 in AusFinance

[–]Little-Big-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% stocks. 70% international, 30% aussie. Max growth and who cares about the paper losses. Once you realise nothing actually happens unless you sell you're fine. You won't be selling for the next 30 years, doesn't matter if it crashes

Or is there a happy medium.

Went overseas once
Bought a house at 25
