100k combined will not provide a comfortable living if you wish to live someone remotely close to cbd, not have financial stress over bills & food, have a couple of cars still go out for dinner here and there 100k before tax is fk all these days.

obviously everyone has different opinion of 'comfortable' - Tony the tax man run numbers on take home per month after tax at 100k combined?

100k combined is more take home than a 100k single income, though.

That's the kicker, though - so many young couples these days think they can live close to the CBD or in the suburbs where they grew up...borrow way too much for it at low interest rates and then struggle to get by when shit hits the fan. It used to be that most young couples would be happy to move out to fringe suburbs and start a family out there. Feel like expectations are changing! Maybe just the people I hear from...

We've also got a lot more material shit to buy these days than we did 20 years ago, when it was really just a car and a house...maybe a boat.

Damn straight we do.

I'm doing the opposite.... Gonna get a place in south east for ten years, then move further easy on a bit of land as I get older... f**k city life. I grew up in one.

Can you explain why your bill is so high...

Do you leave running 5 x 100inch plasmas all day on with the lights on 24/7?

I started getting meat once a week from a wholesaler, and fruit and veg from a green grocer. both on a different day on my way home from work. wipes 10-20% off my grocery bill.

No home phone/line rental - dollars in the pocket.

Turn off power points and standby items, saves a fair bit of electricity.

Request water saving shower head in rental - saves the dollars.

Run heater or A/C only when more than one person is home and only at night. Keep blinds closed-ish mostly through summer.

Certainly adds up.

Wonder how that would hold up being in the engine bay.

I'm sure it'd be fine just not directly near exhaust or heat

[Birds]

Why would you put it in an engine bay?
