[quote=“caoimhaoin, post: 885968, member: 273”]Eh where did I say you couldn’t find one for that price?
Was a holiday working visa making 120 k a year? Cos that’s what they want you to have to get one. And if he’s got one and not on 120k then he is living beyond his means, thus being a retard.[/quote]
You also said certain tradesmen were on 90 an hour in Perth. Even if they were getting half that in Sydney that would be close to 120k a year.
Ya permanent residents though are the only ones given high end apartment rents etc these days in both cities. Which was my point really, but Fran has indicated since he was one. I had wrongly assumed he wasn’t.
Tradesmen in Sydney are not making the same money I am led to believe. Nowhere near it.
I went out to my car at 7.30am this morning to go to work but try as I may it would not start (this is the first time I’ve had such trouble with it). There was serious frost out there at the time, ice all over the roads, and the car windows were totally white with frost/ice. I had to get a taxi so as not to be too late. I finished up work a bit early as I decided it didn’t look so bad out the window and I would walk the 5 miles back to the house rather than get a taxi again. As I did not forecast any problems getting to work this morning I had no coat, warm jumper or other similar attire on my person. Well as soon as I left the office to start the walk back I knew I was fucked as it was arctic outside. I was too stubborn/mean to swallow my pride and pay for a taxi so kept going. I am here now with the sniffles and the onset of a cough, my hands were actually numb turning the key in the door. Oh and the car still won’t start. I’m sitting here now drinking beer.
