It is so bloody hard to own a house right now

The first five years of owning your first property are rough, no doubt about it. The mortgage payments and maintenance expenses are much higher compared to renting, but once you get through those first five years, the cost of wages and rent have gone up significantly while your mortgage payments (wh...

The main problem is over committing. Despite high interest rates and potential financial setbacks, the decision to sell the house was ultimately beneficial.

It is called hard work, saving money and not spending it left, right and centre like all these young people do now. Sorry but it is true. I bought my first house back in 1990 and the rate was 11%

Lots of people who are just getting started aren't ready to share or rent out their extra rooms. Sure, there can be problems with that, but as long as you're ready and it's a great way to make some extra money to help with the mortgage.

If they had a bit more intelligence, they could have chosen to rent out their house, completed the renovations, found a rental property that costs the same or less than their rental income, and taken advantage of all the tax deductions available for owning a rental property. If for some reason they ... View More

Hey, picture this: you put in 10 years of hard work, and then you can kick back and enjoy the next 50. It's the way things have always worked.

Man, can you believe it? Can't even drop 30k on fancy vacays anymore! Geez! Us baby boomers get blamed for everything, but back in the day, we couldn't afford lavish trips either when we were buying our homes! We had to settle for second-hand furniture and put off any home improvements until we buil... View More

I think most young buyers feel this regret, but you won't understand it until you experience it. It's tough, and you have to accept that there will be things you can no longer afford or do. You have to let go of a bunch of things that have been a part of your life until now. I realized that I didn't... View More

Not everyone needs to have a fancy house and car. But for those who do, even if they manage to find a decent home, they often end up spending a fortune on renovations. It's better to start with something modest and gradually upgrade as you can afford it.

The younger generation may find it less appealing to prioritize hard work now for long-term benefits, despite the desire for shopping sprees and travel.

When I constructed my inaugural dwelling 26 years ago, I relied on borrowed curtains from a friend's mother and had to wait until I could afford carpets. Nowadays, it appears that people desire nothing but the finest in everything.

Life teaches us valuable lessons through challenging experiences, and despite giving advice, young people sometimes have to learn the hard way to truly understand and appreciate these lessons, especially when it comes to money.

I bought a house with the bonus of having two children, but I never had luxuries like cappuccinos, lunch, or tea. I even cancelled Christmas once. Despite living in a small caravan for 11 years, with tenants helping pay it off, I am grateful and still have my house after 40 years.

She'll be stoked she did in the long run. When I first copped a spot, I had a hard time affording the basics, especially when interest rates skyrocketed to 17%. Eventually, they dropped and I was able to rent out the crib while I dipped overseas for a couple of years. Greatest move I ever made 'caus... View More

Have fun with the little things, like gardening or simply sitting back and relaxing whenever you can. You don't need to splash cash to have an incredible life. While buying a house can be tough, it's totally worth it if you're willing to make some lifestyle adjustments.

One of the issues encountered while constructing with the grant was the tendency to build larger houses instead of opting for modest ones and utilizing the $40k discount. It has become common to witness enormous house sizes in the construction industry since the grant was introduced. Previously, I b... View More

people should just grow up. Love who you want to love
Being a celebrity, there's zero chill when it comes to privacy. Gotta be all up in that lifestyle and get used to it, ya know?
If you're gonna share something, you gotta be prepared for both the good and the bad feedback.
You've thrown it out into the universe! Now, as a grown-up, own up to the results of your actions!
Yo Nat, you want it to chill, but what's the deal with your kids? How do they feel about your new boo?
If you don't want judgment or universal acceptance, keep your life private.
Most people don't care about her complicated love life; it's probably just an aging artist seeking attention and publicity.
Who gives a toss about other people's opinions when you're content with who you are and have found someone who brings you joy.
Everyone should get their happiness and I'm stoked for both of them. It's their life, their business, and I hope everything works out great for them.
Nat, being quite naïve, confidently made an announcement to the world, anticipating that everyone would shower her with adoration and compliments.
Keep it on the down low next time. If you're gonna put your life out there, don't be surprised if you can't handle the comments.
“This is just a turd covered in gold glitter. My husband has requested ET bring him home.”
This site, yet again, publishes biased headlines with partial truths.
Those ships are absolutely gross inside and out. No way in hell am I going on a cruise.
My old folks are trapped on the ship. It's been 6 days and they haven't had the chance to disembark anywhere yet!
In essence, it's mostly reasonably priced in my imagination.
but it seems like these circumstances were not unexpected. This has been happening with PO since February of the previous year.
Adventure should totally be scrapped... it's, like, the absolute worst ship in the whole fleet!
Good description of P&O, not sure why people still hop on their cruises.
Make sure to read the fine print on your ticket as the destination can change and is not guaranteed, which is a known risk when going on a cruise.

It ain't easy when you hitched up with a dude who already had another fam before you. I ain't down with that affair mess, but it's in the past now. The Wedding was all about them, ain't nobody else's biz. It just shows they real down-home folks, no hidden agenda. Looks like it was a bomb-ass day and... View More
Seems like it would've been a ripper laid-back arvo. People should mind their own beeswax and keep their thoughts to themselves.
“It doesn’t serve to go ‘young is good, old is bad’. It’s a ludicrous binary opposition and I’m calling on Nando’s to do better.”
Today's generation can skip the boomers who brought us into the world and hopefully they will take us out.
Eventually, you will reach your goal, but eventually, you may also become a burden on society.
Hilarious to see young people criticizing boomers on devices and platforms created by boomers.
Logan Paul beats legend to become WWE champion
That isn't the WWE championship, just some usual lower belt tricks.
Too bad the fights are already decided before they even happen.
What the heck? How is he allowed to use brass knuckles and still be declared the winner instead of being disqualified?
I gotta give him props - he's always leveling up his game in every match, pulling off moves we ain't never seen him do.
Maybe someone should inform the intern about real and WWE, mate.
The Bulldogs have announced the signing of forward Josh Curran on a two-year deal
Money talks obviously but thanks josh for your service in the warriors jersey in the last couple seasons our loss bulldogs gain🙏🏽🔥💯#updawahs
I don't understand why the warriors would release him. While young players are emerging, having his experience in the middle and on the edges is valuable. He's an excellent defender, and I expected the warriors to retain him.
Yo, can't believe the warriors straight up let him bounce. Dude was a beast on the court.
England and World Cups, they're not exactly a match made in heaven.
At least Wales, Scotland, and Ireland got to see it from the sidelines. And to make it even better, England only won by one point. Good job, England!
The South African "Bomb Squad" benched players managed to turn things around, coming back from being down by nine points at the 78th minute, and won the match by one point. Absolutely impressive!
What's the name for 15 dudes at the pub checking out the World Cup final? England!
Ha ha ha….
And then his friends started wondering why his face was plastered on missing posters all over town...
Yas queen, I ain't braggin', but I got this hat since highschool and it's still poppin' on my head.
The doctor reckoned I'd be able to struttin' around again in a week.
She says she got an ulcer back in 2016 and won't know what to do if he secures the White House again.
The same people who promised to quit Twitter if Elon took charge are somehow still hanging around.
These celebrities always make these promises but they never follow through
It's kinda mind-boggling that Trump still has so many fanboys/girls despite all the crazy shit he says.
I may not be ballin', but I can splurge on givin' her a one-way ticket to any damn place she dreams of!!
Take Whoopi, Rosie, and the rest of The View crew and get out of here!
Here we go once more, and this time not a single one of them has departed yet... For crying out loud!
Those who pledged to exit Twitter if Elon Musk took charge are paradoxically still present.
By 2024, the United States may cease to exist under Biden's leadership.
These celebrities love to tease with these promises, but they never actually deliver.
Alright mate, reckon it's time to cast me vote for Trump now.
Biden's current trajectory suggests the United States may not exist by 2024.
I'm totally obsessed with Cher's sense of humor. She always speaks her mind without holding back, no matter what. Who knows if it's true, but that's not really the point she was trying to make. #IAmHereAustralia
I ain't ballin', but I can hook her up with a free ride to anywhere she wanna be!
Not a significant loss honestly. Just another cumbersome leftist with nothing valuable to contribute.
Honestly, not much of a loss. Just another talkative but unhelpful person.
The people who promised to leave Twitter if Elon Musk took over are still active on the platform.
Though I'm not wealthy, I can afford to provide her with a one-way ticket to any destination of her choice.
Here we go again, and not a single one of them has left yet... for crying out loud (FFS).
I reckon Cher's got a ripper sense of humour. She always tells it like it is, without fail. Who knows if she'll be here, but that ain't what she was gettin' at. #I'mhereAustralia
