Having been working full time for 38 days I am now constantly plagued by thoughts of house buying. I'm not entirely sure what brought this on, but I just spent an hour browsing on realestate.com.au. I have a few questions that need answering:
a) How does anyone ever afford to buy a house?
b) Once someone has a house (with an accompanying loan), how do they ever eat?
c) Or afford to go snowboarding
d) Or buy people Christmas presents
e) Or have kids
f) Or eat?
I don't understand how they do it!!! Where does the money come from!

Hey Jen,
having just asked the same questions ourselves if you find the answers can you please let us know.
Alternatively do you want to go halves? :)
I recently read an article that said the average mortage repayment is roughly 200 a week (thats for Victoria anyway). Considering most people pay 150 a week on average in rent its not much more to buy a house yourself.
The trick is to get people to share the house with you. That way their helping you pay off the house and in the end you've got a house :-)
Of course travelling, xmas presents etc can all be afforded by doing something called "budgeting". I don't know how that works though, I reckon its a myth.
It's too hard.
(Verification is hotyg! Hotty, G!)
