You were drowned at birth,  whilst physically you survived,  your brain never recovered and is still waterlogged.  The fact is that you have no idea what her annual income is. You have no idea what she paid for her holiday,  how she paid for it or even if she paid for it, all you do is make up little stories that highlight your stupidity.  Googling a nurses income is no substitute for facts.

Every time you open your mouth you show us how retarded you are. She has actually stated her income, and it matches what I've posted.

Now off you go, go do what should have been done 50 years ago, retard.

Oh a landlord who wants the market price for their house. How dare they.

"It's humbling," he says. But the alternative was homelessness: "So I'm one of the lucky ones".

It's a far cry from the promise of the Great Australian Dream.


says Michael Fotheringham.

"The only thing that could make it worse is if banks started collapsing," the head of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute tells the BBC.

Underpinning it all is that buying a house is astronomically expensive - the average property now costs about nine times an ordinary household's income, triple what it was 25 years ago.

For generations, owning a house on a modest block of land has been idealised as both the ultimate marker of success and a gateway to a better life.

It's an aspiration that has wormed its way into the country's identity, helping to shape modern Australia.

Particularly critical was what happened at the turn of the millennium, he argues. Until that point house prices in Australia had kept pace with income growth and the size of the economy - but this began to shift when the federal government introduced tax changes which incentivised the buying and selling of homes for profit.


but Mr Kohler says it was these tax breaks that forever changed the way Australia thinks about housing.

"It will be impossible to return the price of housing to something less destructive... without purging the idea that housing is a means to create wealth as opposed to simply a place to live," he wrote.

Always was a bad metaphor...

Dreams are illusions that end when you're woken up by the need to live in actuality.

Jobs are too insecure these days -
we have a gig economy -
hardly an ideal path to save money or pay off an enormous bank loan.

Why should he? What has he done to the property to warrant doubling the rent?

This  false market value, supply & demand bullshyte is just pure profiteering greed.
