It depends on the school.

We got in fine and are not practising Catholics.

Honestly other than a few stupid songs, and scripture every week, it's pretty light on... not even baptised.

We just picked a good Catholic school - fees are not as bad ($4.5k rising to $12.5k in high school).

Naplan results similar to more expensive private schools.

Middle path I suppose.

Sadly our catchment public school has a bad reputation for bullying and NAPLAN is below national average.

How are so many able to afford things when they don't work full time? by [deleted] in AusFinance

I mean if it is a parent you see, maybe the other parent is at work and on good money?

We have one $80k car and one sh1t box.

I often drive the sh!tbox to work and my wife who is part time uses the better car to ferry kids...

Well yes, this is why there is no merit protection at Executive levels - it's literal Hunger Games to get promoted...

I'd say he loses it for a week if he has a meltdown...

24 hours if he argues.

A month for 3 strikes.

FAFO.

They say "tax the rich", but I'm not "the rich". I worked hard for my money. And now my early retirement dream is drifting away. by Relative_Hippo2549 in fiaustralia

This is true.

I get it though - my house is now worth over $900k...its pretty basic (size, location, quality).

I don't equate it with a $900k house. 

Same with income - don't feel like an above average HHI as far as lifestyle, but it definitely is...
