The Sa Wasteland

[scandyflick]

theyve been doing that for years dude. i remember being offered a $2k cc by bank sa when i was earning less than $100 a week.

I'll travel one day.

Im pretty much a woose and dont want to leave the saftey of Australia.

Plus I only will be paying an extra 50-100bucks more a week then I do now. I have managed to save while renting so hopefully ill still manage to save a small amount so I can afford a holiday when I grow some balls.

If things go bad with my partner, we will just sell up. We cut everything down the line now and thats how we will do the house too.

Anyway finance might not get approved and then im back at square one!.... although devine claim no deposit...if that happens ill just save the shit out of my money.

[scandyflick]

i used to be the same, liked being all safe and sound at home. but over the last 2 years that safety net has gone to shit. so i figure i may aswell go out and enjoy life.

and my life here is starting to bore the shit out of me, starting to get a bit tired of the same old thing, same drive into work, same daily, same train, same friends, same tv shows, same tv. etc.

so i figure something new is in order, wake up early in the mornings, have a coffee more the fact thats its freezing freaking cold rather than the usual morning pick me up, throw on a parka, grab my snowboard and hit the slopes. then go to work. thats something id enjoy. so its what im gonna do.

Yes but people could afford to buy them if some people out there didn't have 10 houses.

id say the issue is there isnt enough houses around, someone gota pay for them to be built. ppl to eager to have everything now and dont think about the future.

im building just got my fhbg wanna get a second investment but not sure how i can make that work just yet.

[ontheranch]

If i was single my outlook would be totally different to what it is now.

[SLED]

Work isn't my life..... I work so that I can have a life.

yeah, pretty much my motto

[scandyflick]

haha, work is my life. tis a sad state of affairs.

[rad100]

if you like firey death thatd be awesome.

srsly, 1/2J in a ke-sev would suck. youd constantly be battling understeer, and as soon as it caught a whiff of boost, itd throw in power oversteer just to keep you on your toes.

heavy ass high block in the front end would fail. hard.

1UZ is a good match. all alloy, makes 191kw out of the box, would be spastic, but you wouldnt be renewing your life insurance policy every time you drove it either.

my ideal 'rolla would be all white, chrome bumpers, jap 4 light front end with spoiler, 15x10 -4 watanabe's, semi's, all metal overfenders, manual 1UZ, the biggest brakes i could fit behind the wheels, and a couple era specific fixed backs. and itd be scraping rails of course.

yeah correct, but if you don't get into the housing market now, you'll never get in.

On the other hand, if you spruce up and present your current house well for a sale of approx $50K over it's current twin in the same area, then manage to grab a bargain in a better area for approx $50 cheaper than its twin in the same location, you've not only made $100K with no capital gains tax to pay (other than agent fees and stamp duty), but you're now in an area that has more potential for capital growth.

You can't do any of that if you aren't even in the market to start off with......hence why I said to Penny that she should get into the market by any means possible ASAP.

Rents will get crazy very soon with vacancy rates at record lows, especially when the FHBG goes and 1st home buyers disappear......RENT = throwing dead money away, hand over fist.

Yeah I get you.

I guess what Im trying to say is.

Id rather buy a decent house. work on it. live in it. not sell it.

You buy a house for lets say $250k. you sell it some years later for $350k. You buy another house for $350k, ok. The new house valued at 350K was also probably worth $250k when you bought the first house. Follow ? Have you stepped up in terms of owning a better house ?

I would rather live life, buy a decent house and be done with it. there are enough dilemmas in modern day life to worry about selling buying selling buying.

Hoorah to the cock on the scooter at lunchtime today riding down Greenhill Road. Dude's got a death wish.

Watched him changed lanes from the RH lane to the centre lane over the top of a car!!! Using his shitty 60kg scooter to hustle a 1500kg car! Madness. Car had to brake and even missed him by inches. Then he changes lanes to the LH lane behind me and tailgates me for 200m to Unley Road intersection. I tapped my brakes beforehand, he grabbed a handful of brakes, then curses me for giving him a friendly warning to back off.

When I stopped at the lights, I got out and while he's shitting himself, I removed his keys and tossed them in the parklands. Told the dumb f**k to commit suicide elsewhere.

f**k I hate scooter riders

Fkn LOL! Would've loved to have seen that!!!

[scandyflick]

you get out of your to yell at fewls an awful lot ruby.

Done it many times before ... but normally I'm on one of my bikes when I do it. Usually get the show offs on the 250s acting like twats and taking stupid risks. I usually grab their helmet by the chin guard as I remove their keys, so they can't see me doing it. Then toss them away. Trust me ... I'm doing them a favour.

I was in the stag when I saw this fool. Guaranteed he wouldn't have insurance. Hit the back of my stag and I'll be pissed. Figured it was appropriate to continue with my "rider safety awareness" and toss the keys. Give him something to think about while he looks for them.

Said something like: "Are you f**king stupid. You can't ride, so get the f**k off the road." (toss the leys)
