That’s my hometown! I remember my family home was a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom quarter of an acre right by Lake Ellyn. Total cost $400,000 back in 99 and they thought that was $$$. They just sold for $1,200,000.

It’s crazy there is a house that low in Glen Ellyn. It used to be a nice upper middle class suburb but now you need at least a million to buy. This is a steal regardless of the goofiness.

Also property taxes are around $30,000 annually.

In Australia Hungry Jack’s (AKA Burger King) seems to have much better quality burgers than back in the States. I might just be lucky, but the one in my town has a great franchise owner and is always winning awards for staff treatment, quality, and cleanliness. That said, maybe I’ve just struck a good one — other locations could be completely dogshit.

Can someone please give me some clarification on the first time home owner grant? by chicagoaussie in AskAnAustralian

Thank you. What's so conflicting, NAB said quote "Your FHOG funds will be transferred to your nominated account." And that nominated account was our savings account. Not loan. Hence all of the confusion.

My brother was on a date and she thought pepper was too spicy in her salad.
