What does interest me though is the sycophantic news media that always chooses 'pro' speakers who are professionally dressed and perhaps suspiciously a little too well groomed, whereas the 'nays' are always selected from a shallow gene pool of welfare bogans that wouldn't seem out of place being interviewed by Sam Newman.

You want to save money, you must be prepared to make sacrifices.Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote: I hadn't considered shared living and at only $60 or $70 per month it would definately help lower the budget, but I'm not sure living in a house with others suits me as I like a quiet home environment, or as quiet as it can be in SEA.
I had happily lived in shared accommodation for 2 years here, and paid between $60-$130 per month in rented housing alone.
You don't necessarily need to live in a house with others. Just share the house. The last house I shared with 3 other people, and we hung out once a month even though we lived together every day for over 2 years.
You don't live in each other's rooms or floors unless it has been stated otherwise.

Re: Those Living Cheaply Under a Grand
Yeah, sharing accommodation is OUT OF THE QUESTION. I would have to be truly desperate to even consider that option. Maybe you younger fellows are accustomed to it, just out of Uni and all, but it's not for me...never was and never will be. If I am ever sharing a house with another dude, something has gone terribly, terribly wrong in my life.

Re: Those Living Cheaply Under a Grand
I have houseguests a fair amount, and sometimes let one stay a little longer term, but in the end I like my space.

Nothing wrong with sharing IF you have the right people. We were all good mates first, so that helps. Oh, an update on that too. Nick has just gone back to the U.K so its now only me and my G.F there full time, in a 3 storey, 6 bedroom house @ $75 a month rent. The other 2 brothers come over for 4 - 5 days once a month on their week off from the mines in W.A. So we have been lucky in this case, the perfect share accommodation!

I also have the perfect share accommodation in OZ. a 50 + yo lady looks after my house, pays the elec etc , and I walk in the door every 6 months, stay a couple of weeks and am gone again .No agreements, no rent and much less problems than renting it. It's a win-win situation that works between us because we both benefit from the deal.

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
