Nah I'd rather educate myself, work hard, make good life decisions, and become successful :)

I agree though, unfortunately those lifelong welfare flogs do exist. However, some magical 'solution' to the affordability 'problem' isn't going to help them and you know it

At 375k - let's call it 420k now (blaze it fgt) - even a conservative 50k wage working as a receptionist with 30% living expenses; a well budgeted individual would have it paid off in 15 years or less...this is assuming you don't earn a promotion or get a better paying job, and that you don't board out the second room or end up with a partner who can co-contribute for a massive dent on the principal and loan term.

What about glorified pa's?

with the drop in interest rates, my interest repayment on my investment property is equal to the rental income.

Am close to converting from negative to positive geared.

There goes more of my money to tax :(

Are you not saving more money off the repayments than negative gearing would give you in tax credits?

Me too, and this is what we have both done... but there are those that either cant or won't. Trust me working in kitchens i have seen many people (usually dishies) that simply will never earn above minimum wage and not due to laziness. They were just not born all that smart (or gifted).

I'd rather attempt to have affordable housing than pay for them just to mooch later on because they have no choice. That also extends to bludgers.... id rather have affordable housing and have them afford a small mortgage than have to pay for them in full.

I wouldn't distinguish laziness too far from brain smarts; I think they are both personality traits whether you inherited genetically or through nurture...a lazy person can become motivated no more easily than someone can improve their smarts with knowledge. Ergo some of these people are perpetually fked regardless of being lazy or not!

You're lazy and smart!

Why is there the "not the bees" gif in the middle?

And while I agree with the sentiment... wankleed has got such a way of getting under my skin with the delivery....

Poor woman had to borrow money from her family to buy her first house...shock horror

Uses as an example the most expensive housing market in the country weighed against the average nationwide wage for a single university graduate

#leftylogic

Why do people think being able to easily buy an inner city property as a single person with any old job is a god given right? And when did this mentality begin? I can't remember my parents wanting to live in Toorak on average wage - they bought on the fringe with decent jobs, which 35 years later happens to be a very good area...now!

How is this even classified as news? Someone rants on facebook, gets a couple of likes & now its mainstream news.

We should just make VWL thread a news page. Make some money off the advertising to pay for houses.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
