Fuck it, I'm taking my $100k of savings elsewhere. What does $100k look like by the way?

Good luck finding a job with two hours drive from your affordable house.

Yup that too.

In England (or pretty much any other country), population centres are more distributed. I don't know enough about Australian urban history to understand why we're not and why rail isn't mandated as part of urban sprawl consideration (housing density too low?)

Bollocks. I moved 3000kms to get into the housing market. Obtained gainful employment.
Transferred back to a Warmer place with said employment, sold previous house and bought another.


It's funny to me the stupid fucking expectations people have.

Cool story bro. Now do people that have to rent, have specialist skills or commitments closer to home.

Bro? REALLY?

I'm saying make sacrifices and put some effort in.

Things can be done if you realise your first home doesn't have to be $1.5m worth.

You're equating your life and circumstances to the whole population. It's survivor bias.

It's also not as black and white as 'sacrificing' and 'effort'. Neither of those things are a guarantee to better outcomes. What kind of sacrifice is a two hour each way commute to work?

Not really - I am saying if housing purchase is the goal, things can be worked out.
Perhaps the idea needs to be shifted if it is so completely out of reach.
This article and a whole group of others cry foul at the impossibility if buying a house in Sydney. SURELY Sydney is not the only place someone can live?

Obviously something I cannot relate to as I do not have that work drive.

A big one. Quite a few people where you live do it for $80k - maybe a bit less than 2 hours, 1 1/2???



Dunno... fuck...

Um.

I'm gonna have another beer,
 
6 minutes commute from my 4 bed less than 500k house to my better than Melbourne salary job.

5 minutes to propper gravity trails, Falls, Bright, Buller, Jindy, Beauty, Hotham all within 2 hours away.


But 3.5 hours to my kids... But considering I see them more than when I lived 15 minutes walk away, I'll call it a push.

Sometimes the stars do align....you just need to keep your eyes open for the right moment.

Constantly stewing and complaining about your current situation will be a sure fire way to miss it, only took me 30 years of eating metropolitan shite.

Edit: Not sure what happened to my original post...



Been so long, I'm a rookie again.

Out my side, 8 min to travel 10km to work.
I only drive in town on paid time. It can go as slow as it wants.
