Congrats Poo Bear and Amy,

Buying our place and going into so much debt was probably the most stressful thing i have ever done, but am so happy we did it.

Rent around my way is pretty much 400+ a week and mortgage repayments are 510 a week ( I do believe that is a bit more than we need 2 pay as a minimum though ) I know it doesn't take into account land rates etc but I'd rather pay that bit extra and pay off my house than someone elses

Thanks mate. Yeah it's going to cost us $20 per week more than what we are paying in rent at the moment.
It's all good timing though, we will be moving in 3 weeks before our wedding and will have a screaming 2 month old to help as well

Ha ha went to the docs this morning and ended up in hospital ?suspect heart failure but all is
good back home now after 4hours wired up
back to docs tomorrow
cant get crook now want to get out on some tracks

Take care of yourself mate!

If that's not the deal of the century then I don't know what is.

Yep, wise thinking. We bought our first place in Australia not that long before interest rates shot up to 18%. We really struggled with that, both working full time & with a toddler, but we scraped by. When interest rates fell it would've been so easy to reduce our payments & spend the difference on 'toys' but we didn't, we carried on paying the higher amount, which was the best thing we ever did. In a nutshell it set us up to be able to live debt free for the past 20 odd years.

Congrats Winnie & Amy.

Roofy - take it easy & get back to doing what you love.

Back in the happy thread from the angry thread.

Sister pulled through, out of ICU and into Neuro ward, and has now been moved into a rehab facility. Long road ahead for her, but she been amazing and such a trooper. Less than 30% survival for this, and she's been unlucky enough to have it twice in her life. Still unsure of permanent damage, won't know for a few more weeks, but she's still with us and doing her best to kick ass at rehab and see how much function we can get back!

I'm still angry about this day to day, just at how unfair it seems to all be. But she's with us and that's all that matters.

Bit of an update maybe a bit of muscle worn or tied
the good news is I still have my license and can exercise
and feel good today

On the AAA op that I had before the Madigan line
the Vascular Surgeon is happy now it's just to
monitor it every 6 months
So now i can relax and get on with what we enjoy most
