17.5 yrs old. dodgy knees. real bad. looked ahead. stopped Uni. was already in full time work, so bought 90k home, 11sqm in Woodcroft from my grandma who moved to smaller home in an oldies estate
borrowed 45k from oldies and 45k "other means", after 7yrs owed 45k
sold for 210k
paid back oldies, borrowed 130k from bank and bought 272k 22sqm home in Morphett vale and stagea
got that down to 75k as at now
never travelled, never had a "holiday", dont go out (bad knees so thats ok), but had the nice bike, so I havent missed out so to speak.
but yah, knees are still no go. house valued at 350-380k so we'll look for a 300k home and reduce our morgage again. make it a bit easier on my state-of-mind.
in short - I forsaw that my knees would possibly be a bugga (pain/issues/docs back at age 11) so I decided to start early.
good decision, good decision.
bad knees tho, wouldnt wish them on ANYONE
