I quit my job - update

[prinkills9]

@valerier62 Well done!! Health is always number one and is worth every penny of your savings to try and preserve it. If you're skilled at what you do there will always be a great job for you somewhere you just need to look for it.

All the best!

@valerier62 How did you find a place for 380 a week?!?

 

[valerier62]

@alexonbekend Looked through Domain. Spent a Saturday doing house inspections in the area. Looked at 9 properties and all rents were between 290 and 440 per week.

You can access the spreadsheet that I used for the inspections.

I removed the place I ended up getting because it’s now personal information.

@alexonbekend Plenty of places around that price. Here's one I found on a quick search: https://www.domain.com.au/7-336-livingstone-road-marrickville-nsw-2204-15051949

@billyc115 Yeh fair

A bit dated for myself but you’ve proven it’s possible

 

[valerier62]

@alexonbekend Older places have their own charm and can be better built than some of the new apartments cough mascot/Olympic park cough

 

[alexonbekend]

@valerier62 I’m not sure why I’m getting down voted for saying older places aren’t for me ..

 

[valerier62]

@alexonbekend It’s the internet. It doesn’t make sense. We all get down voted on some things. It just means it didn’t gel with the hive mind here

@alexonbekend Sorry you're not getting beachside for 180 a week in a shared apt.

Next time I'm sure people will work to impress.

@alexonbekend Rent is so much cheaper in Inner Sydney. Good time to move.

@valerier62 Well done, you’ll feel so much better now too.

and I think second hand is the way to go. My daughter just bought a house and needed absolutely everything and got it all second hand for around $800.

enjoy the new suburb.

@valerier62 Bro, nice work congrats!

 

[resjudicata]

@stella2012 Op is a lady, I believe.

 

[valerier62]

@resjudicata I’m fine with being called a bro. It’s rule 30 of the internet; there are no girls on the internet.

And I’m a bit gender queer myself and really don’t mind being mis gendered.

@resjudicata Shoulda known by the decor
