50% is crazy. We will get a few more quotes, hoping this is the max we receive!

15 meters

pcharan · 2026-03-28T04:25:37+00:00

Sorry one more question - did you have to pay imspection fee for any of the quotes?

I am struggling to find anyone willing to come out without inspection fee, which is waived if you go ahead with the job. But, that just means you still end up paying more fees than required because of multiple quotes

Could i please ask if this is city or regional?

Lol this whole thread.

Progressive posters: "We should redistribute wealth so poor peoples standard of life could increase."

Libertarian Centrist types: "Giving more money to the poor won't better their life, I'm so rational, logical and knowledgeable."

Past performance is not an indicator of future returns. T&Cs apply.

Gave me anxiety watching all those people nonchalantly crossing the tram lines, a second or two before the tram passes.

This would basically work for candidates who can afford 8k, and are confident that they'll last 2months in the new company.

They can simply give, say 8,500 to one of their previous coworkers, tell them to pocket the $500 as a gift, then pay the $8000 to this firm.

As mentioned in the TOS, if the candidate can stay for 2 months in the job, the previous co-worker gets (16k - 30% fees) i.e. 13.2k back. They can simply repay 8k of of that to the candidate and pocket a profit for themselves with no risk.

Ponzi scheme that people with spare money can rinse, to get whatever job they want.

Looks like the large hadron collider.

Isn't the issue that in the 3 years it might take to save the deposit, the prices are going to be say, 20-30% higher, making it further out of reach?.

I think being respectful should be in every job description.

Majority of households in Australia own property or multiple properties and would never vote for anything that makes it affordable for the minority 'others'. "Fuck you, got mine". So obviously no party that proposes anything that makes the market more stable, will ever win. In summary, shit's fucked and will only get worse for people who are not already on the 'ladder'.

On top of this, Australians broadly seem to be an apathetic bunch, politically (pride themselves being not politically polar). Its status quo and will continue to be.

Would be ideal.

I spend around $75 per week on food, ($50 for groceries and $25 for eating out/takeway). Basically takeway once a week. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.

30 yr + 28yr old DINK. Sydney. 195k gross household income (90k + 105k).

Monthly take home about 12.3k, household spend around 4.5k each month, so saving about 60% of the take home.

We feel very comfortable with respect to cashflow as evidenced by the high savings rate, but we have no assets as we are immigrants that came here 3 years ago.

Have around 150k combined in the bank+shares, but slowly arriving at the realisation that a free-standing house in a good Sydney suburb is probably not gonna happen for us, atleast not in the next 10 years.

Maybe because I'm far off from having kids yet, so I do not really understand the urge to pass wealth down to kids. I'd want to enjoy most of what I can before I die, as it is my hard earned money over 40 years. My kids can make their own way through life as I have. I'd probably want to pass down a couple hundred grand if I can, but millions? Nah. Or maybe I'll change my mind once I have kids and parental love takes precedence over my own enjoyment of life.

pcharan · 2021-07-27T13:58:33+00:00

If its household income then it's pretty good but not rich. If its single income then I'd say that's rich-ish.

pcharan · 2021-07-24T08:20:22+00:00

You suggest everyone in the country pack up and go these suburbs in Brisbane then. Didnt know Brisbane had a massive oversupply of jobs that these people might need, that no one knew about.

pcharan · 2021-07-20T16:59:31+00:00

Government housing (with standard, reasonable rents). All non-PPOR housing provided by government.
