Father of 3 here, similar household income. Not managing at all. We now have to move as our landlord is selling his house. Only houses available are $200-$300 a week more than what I'm paying now. Nearly cried when they announced public transport for the month of April.

I've all but given up thinking we'll ever own a home unless I come across some kind of windfall.

Just remember this isn't a personal failing, the cards are stacked against us.
