A way of giving you a promotion without giving you one? Did it at least come with a pay rise? Congrats brah

Ironically missed half of it as I accidentally closed it off when viewing So it was even less exciting than you probably intended

CS:GO Anyone still play CS:GO? Ranks? Game has reignited my love for CS after a few years on hiatus. Feels more like basketball playing in a 5 man team...

Hang in there, gentrification and all

Truly. If you don't care for location then you're gonna win big as far as buying a house and getting good value for it. It's astonishing what even a suburb across will do for cost. City is shit, unless you're 20 years old and going to nightclubs I can't fathom why people like living there.

My point is, that's the reason people are complaining, not saying it's always justified. But the housing market compared to wages has gotten pretty bad. When my brother bought in Narre Warren 5 years ago, house and land was 260ish. Now the equivalent further out in a now equivalent suburb like Pakenham or Langwarrin is looking at 360ish+. Three bedroom townhouse in Tarneit for about the same from a quick check. The wages haven't gone up proportionately with it. Either way they'll have to suck it up and live longer with parents etc. cause I can't see housing going down in price anytime soon.

What are joints in Tarneit going for? It's probably not just work then, people wanna live in the east cause closer to their parents, friends, geographic location - mountains / leafy parks, beaches etc. Also jobs inner east like Richmond. The west isn't what it used to be and come a long way but it is still nicer in the east hence higher prices. Except Dandenong / Apex dream boats of course.

Not the only way they can get into the market, I would hope, but certainly helps first home buyers to compete on a more level playing field in the property market with established and foreign buyers. I think it's a combination of all those factors put together, but as we discussed recently in this or another thread, the city needs to decentralise a bit so there is more motivation for people to move further out, cause where affordable housing is, travel time to city jobs is getting ridiculous. And I'm the first to say find a job in the suburbs like I have. But 30 years ago Wantirna was a fringe suburb and cheap housing, yet it was also only 40 minutes from the city, not over an hour travel where he equivalent affordable housing would be today. And that's without taking into account the change in wage vs cost of housing. That latter description is a bit of a strawman...the quintessential millennial arts student with hecs debt who travels and then complains they cannot afford both...these people definitely exist, but I think it masquerades as a perception of anyone complaining about affordability, which is arguably a real problem.

Am I the only one who feels sorry for some uni students? Not all of them have gone and done bs arts degrees with no future vision or under the assumption they'll just get a job out of bs - those degrees are designed for personal knowledge building anyway. Some uni students doing other courses have been lured into the premise of one by heavy industry demand at the time that since dropped off, or pushed into uni by parents only to discover they either don't like the field, aren't good enough to get into it / supply is too high, or the qualification gave them nothing relevant to catch a job. If I could go back I certainly would have taken up a trade, but when I was 16 no one really had the foresight to see how well paid tradies or fifos would be these days - being a tradie wasn't held in high regard, it was what the high school drop outs did. There's exceptions like law and medicine, sciences and many marketing jobs for instance require a tertiary education in the field (not that there aren't other ways to get these jobs). But yeah...I feel bad for those who went to uni being sold the prospect of a good career but haven't been able to use their degrees for this. Not only are they not getting paid while learning but need to pay back a debt down the track when they do finally get a job which may not be a skilled or professional job, so not earning much and setting them back further. You'd sure be pissed if your apprenticeship or tafe lead to nowhere and that's without copping a debt at the end of it. Something all should be concerned about as many will end up on centrelink or receive tax benefits through the government. Whilst there would be a good many, I don't think all the struggling uni students out there unable to get their first homes are arts students blowing their 50k a year barista wages on lattes and interpretive dance shows.

I don't think you understand how memos work.

Turnbull hasn't ruled out allowing first home buyers access to their super for a house deposit... Is this real life? Would be fking awesome, though I see a lot of people who can't pay mortgages securing loans...

I see the T spawn of de_dust...

Aren't there like 20 regular users on SAU these days? How did we manage in the glory days when you would have 10 posts a minute etc.?

I would also like to do know about the trifecta thing

Can't he plan to own one house and pay it off? Why is there no middle ground with you Patrick?

I had that lastnight vs a wallhacker, who was unashamedly telling his team mates where I was lurking each and every time People boost each other in queues, like Mr Popo there, who had comments on his profile about hacking and then his team mates...the ones without private profiles...had comments on theirs about Mr Popo boosting them with hacks...
