Depression

Sometimes I think we have it all wrong with our nuclear families. Around 20 odd years ago, I knew three Thai brothers who all pitched in to buy the eldest brothers house. They and their wives lived in that house for a couple of years until it was paid off. They then bought the middle brothers house in which he and the youngest lived in until it was paid off. And finally the youngest brothers house was bought and paid off. With the six wages it all took 6-7 years.

A bit of patience, BA it will happen, mate. My wife and I lived in a caravan park for over 7 months while we looked for a house, but the wait was worth it.

We have missed on our second choice properties a couple of times as they were close to or conflicted with dates the house we wanted more..

Right now i have to swollow some pride and go and make up with my wife as i got a bit upset at her... big mistake.

Keep your chin up mate. You'll get there in the end and it will all be work it when you do.

All will be well mate. This time next year you'll be in a beautiful new home and all this will only be an unpleasant memory

We have gone up an incredible amount of money from our original starting price and can still not get a house.

The family have now gone out and I have beer which I will drink all by myself which is pretty healthy thing to do under the circumstances... I hate living in the city and i hate paying this much frickin money..... fuck it.

I hate the idea of auctions, bloody hard to plan when you cannot know how much it will go for.
You should move to SA, can buy a 4 bedroom house with pool in my suburb for under 500K and it is a great place to live, no graffiti and no crime.

Hey BA hang in there mate..
It'll happen soon.. and the rest will be history..
Just don't overspend your selves.. no point owning a house if you still can't get out and enjoy life..

The market is shit atm.. and with the latest drop housing is only going to sell quicker unfortunately.

@Bloodyaussie You OK today bloke!

Hang in there buddy,maybe that house wasnt to be.
Im sure it'll all work out sooner rather than later

@Bloodyaussie You going OK bloke? All well?

He's fine, messaged him yesterday.
