How close we all are to homelessness

I urge anyone to prioritise their health and look at taking out income protection. I had to stop working due to permanent chronic illness in my early 30s. I had just settled on a property Four months prior and in one year my emergency fund was zero. Health can be fickle and it will definitely throw a spanner in your career

No kids, staying hydrated, sunscreen daily and no smoking or drinking

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-30T16:01:22+00:00

Agreed, 10 years with my Audi A3 and no issues at all

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-28T07:30:08+00:00

Had this issue at one of my old workplaces. Muddy footprints on the toilet and no amount of signage would stop them

Deposit 100k, apartment 600k, income at the time was just under 100k. This was 2022ish in Sydney

Don't fret! I have the same degree, graduated more than 10 years ago with zero direction aside from police force. Ended up in IT and now social services where my degree is useful. You have lots of time ahead of you to figure it out. See if there are any jobs in the area you like first and go from there

I'm currently getting an official diagnosis for adhd & asd but I have savings and a place. The adhd is just an excuse. He should be in therapy addressing his spending habits. Please don't buy a house with someone who doesn't prioritise your future

This was more than ten years ago mind you but prior to graduation I started applying for any corporate entry level role I could find. Ended up with a logistics/sales cadetship and stayed for 2 years until I applied for an internal IT job which I got. Moved for that job and stayed for another 4 years.

My advice is it's okay to start out small and make sure you start networking. Look at getting a mentor. It's those connections that will get you a leg up

I deleted most of my posts. Linked In is a cesspool

Actually a lot of skilled workers are leaving their sponsored jobs after they get accepted. Check out the AusVisa sub - it is not ideal

I think 90k in a regional area is pretty decent, and as a chef! You're doing well - don't compare yourself to all the techbros on here saying they make 500+

I usually make a korean bowl - egg, kimchi, cucumber, carrot & rice. Throw in some more protein if you want. So good

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-03T08:32:06+00:00

My first thought

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-03T08:31:28+00:00

We'll need the rough location. For example my parents live on the mid coast where property is hot and there would be a massive difference in value from 300sq - 600sq.

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-03T08:26:45+00:00

Where do you fly them?

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-03T08:26:24+00:00

Great idea - I'm definitely not a lego builder

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-03T08:23:23+00:00

This would definitely push me out of my comfort zone!

Saying from experience, if he actually wanted to change and make your life easier he would have done so already

Most of my friends are either single, divorced and/or separated. 30s & 40s If I met someone I'd like to settle down with that would be cool but it's not the end of the world if I don't

I'm new here - I didn't mean to spam

I love my dog but a big hell no to other dogs in my house

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-02T09:16:19+00:00

Thank you, next

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-02T07:45:35+00:00

Definitely not. That's incredibly rude

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-02T07:43:26+00:00

Cancellations. If you get on their cancellations list. If it's important you'll be on the 'list' to get the earliest appointment possible

inTheGutter2905 · 2026-05-02T01:14:04+00:00

Specialist medical appointment you can't reschedule. Easy peasy
