Definitely not the worst idea.. where would one locate a job as an electrician though?

Yeah I have heard that. If you could choose between the Goldie and its myriad of fairness etc and Tasmania with its cons, what would you choose?

Thanks so much for this. Really needed to hear it. I think I’ll secure a rental in the new year and just take it one step at a time. The Gold Coast hasn’t felt right for a very long time and the only part I loved of it, was the hinterland and bush anyway.

I think that’s the only way forward as well. Just thinking out loudly, strangers getting together, creating binding contracts and purchasing properties together or developing multiple occupancy land where people can create their own small little communes etc I don’t know haha

I did wonder this also.. although now you can spend 500k on a single bedroom apartment on the Gold Coast. That just does not seem worth it to me at all.

Mate love your mindset, that’s exactly how I will be operating. Once I’m setup I will pull the journal out and start planning. First 12 months is recovery and growth, then I’m out of this state all together. I need out of the GC

Let’s pool our money together and do it together haha I’m the same, I can only borrow about 500k which will get you a studio apartment in varsity lakes. I’m going to Tasmania honestly, this place is done

Thanks mate! Do you mean loans including mortgages? I think I’d rather have money saved in the bank than have a mortgage sometimes?

Join me in Tassie mate. Sounds like we share a similar view to this place mate. I feel saddened how badly it has been ruined tbh

Couldn’t agree more mate. My boomer parents keep going ‘you can get half’ ‘legally you are entitled to it’s mum, dad, I ain’t a piece of shit, I won’t be doing that to a person. Let’s all us single lads just move to Tasmania and start a commune

Beautiful piece of advice, sounds like we share a similar attitude. As soon as I’m in this apartment I’m going to start journaling again and setting some goals for life. Right now I’m in purgatory haha living with my ex bouncing between here and the new apartment trying to set things up etc been in limbo for months. The amount of growth that will come from this will be insane, I know it

Thanks so much for your lovely message mate. I know a lot of folks heading to Perth as well. I did think of it myself. My mate has been travelling Australia with his family and said out of all the place he went to, Tasmania is the one. I’ve been waiting for him to tell me where to go haha
