Moving To Adelaide

[kralster]

Well i still have no luck.

One of the biggest problems is my mate does not want to spend more than 100 dollars a week each on rent.

And there is really nothing avalible for less than 250.

And i would also want a place that is resonably nice. As i plan to spend a fair bit of time there.

[Bl4cK32]

cant get much for $200 a week, unless its a flat, or a 3 bedroom house in a worser suburb..

[Tangles]

Hate to break it to you, my home at Morphett Vale has been "valued" to take in $230+ pw in rent.

Id say settle for a $250 close-to-the-city home with your mate, or, find another mate !

[kralster]

Thats it i have no problem paying about 250 in total.

I'd rather keep commuting to adelaide each day then live in some crappy shoebox.

[Oosh]

You'll definitely need to pay $250, Deluxe and I pay more than that for a place on half a block in Parkside (Unley).

Even when you find a place you do like, good luck on a successful applications, with rental vacancies so low it's so damn competitive, and 2 young blokes as tenants aint real attractive to a lot of landlords.

[kralster]

Yeah i know,

But i have a good full time job (even have business cards killa)

no debt whatsoever well except a mobile phone.

Hmm i could just stay at home and use all my money for a new car or motorbike.

[Deluxe]

Yeh depends on what you want...... Ash and i are only 2mins from town, this is why we are paying over $250 a week, But hey i think it's worth it! You should be able to find something a little over $200 a week around edwardstown are!

[chops]

We just vacated a 3 bedroom courtyard home in Northgate that was $265 per week. Much closer to the city you'd be looking at more cash or an older/smaller place.

[kralster]

Is your new place completed now chops?

Hmm i'm going to tell my mate we are going to need to spend more money cos it's just not going to happen on 200 bucks a week.

Crazy world we live in.

It's amazing how much money you need to live nowdays.

[chops]

All in mate, I'm loving it.

Now I need to put in a garden.

[kralster]

Well i've been doing a bit of thinking and i'm not so sure if i want to move.

I think i would rather save money and then try to buy a house.

Now i need to tell my friend this. So any suggestions would be great.

[Nozila]

simple. say hey mate, i cant move sorry.

[kralster]

I'll feel pretty bad though, at the end of the day though it's my money so if i don't want to do it too bad.

But he's gonna have no where to live by the end of the month.

[kralster]

So what should i say to him.

I really don't want to move i don't think, but it's gonna be hard for him to find somewhere to live now.

[Deluxe]

Just tell him that the money he wants to pay won't be enough to get anywhere decent and he either has to fork out more cash per week and you both DO mover down here, or you just say NAH can't do it anymore, will just hack living down here(bieng victor) for longer! BUT the sooner you tell him the better it will be for him!

Just my opinion anyways!

[kralster]

Yeah also he wants me to pay the whole bond as he has no money really at the moment.

I'm just worried cos hes gonna have no where to live for a while. But i don't want to feel i have to move.

[Oosh]

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth, and you've gotta look after yourself first and foremost, the sooner you let him know the sooner he can make other arrangements.

[paulmac]

lol my mates in the opposite boat lol he lives down here and works in victor he drives the horse tram out to granite island and shit good luck on letting your mate know he could prob find a 1 bedroom appartment for about $150 around edwardstown area not too expensive or anything i remember seeing an appartment behind me in st mary's for about $120 a week single room so it wouldnt be too hard for him and wouldnt need to worry about other people invading personel spaces and stuff

Paul.

[Oosh]

Kralster and your mate could always swap.

[Atti]
