Pretty sure a Brad Moran type spud is living in a mansion somewhere, not renting a share house with his mates.

Yep, the poor bugger.

I’d be interested to know if any other AFL footballers have also achieved this sort of return.

Well, there’s Joel MacDonald, however briefly and sketchily

From memory he funded one of his friends app ideas which was a queuing app for cafes called NoQ.

I am pretty sure that they sold that and used the money to invest in the next project which they sold a couple of years ago.

He's done very well for someone who just invested into someone else's idea.

4 bedroom, family house for a couple of blokes sharing, 12 minute drive to CBD

Not sure that’s the flex you were going for

Could've rented my old house for 600 bucks a week, closer to the city.

3bdr near Kilburn. You ever been to Kilburn?

Give Hackham a go, bit of a drive but affordable

Ah yes, but don’t wanna do that

 

[cm_perfect]

Ah yes, but don’t wanna do that

Yeah, spent some formative years in Hackham, the parents bought their first house there in their 40’s in the 80’s. Thats all they could afford.
Moving from Payneham as a 12 year old was a culture shock, toughened me up a bit though.

They had it so easy but. Bright lights, big city of Hackham West; Morphett Vale adjacent

Living the dream, back when it all just rained gold from the sky

I can assure you anything showering down on you in Hackham isn't gold

Sheesh, Morphett Vale was the unattainable dream!

Every generation has crept out further and further, we have hit a generation that doesn’t want to comply that’s all.

It's Huntfield Heights now. Very posh.

I like that part of the world. When I was a kid, I lived in Hallett Cove and would visit my two cousins in Reynella and Hackham. Lots of fond memories going down to junkfood corner with whatever coins we could scrounge. Playing computer games on my cousins 386 SX.

Where they still putting out milk money then?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Yep. I once stole a 20 my mum left out for the milk man. The teachers called her when they realised I was buying everyone food at the school canteen. Back then a 20 dollar note meant you were rich.

Who leaves a twenty dollar note out for milk are you a Packer

I can only speculate but knowing my mum, she got behind in paying them and that was months worth of milk.

Can remember when the milkman was a horse and cart, was always fascinated that the horse would just walk along and stop to wait for the milkman

Junkfood Corner. Been a while but that was the halfway point where we would meet the daughter and grandkids sometimes. Aptly named.

How much milk did you buy. $20 seems a lot. Delivered milk was 11c a pint (glass bottles with the foil cap) in the Plympton area In 1972.

I don't think anyone is suggesting 'everyone had it easy'. On average, housing cost less, and the 'affordable' housing, which does exist, is getting less suited to the lifestyle many people envisaged growing up.

That's capitalism - but if I was in Sydney I wouldn't really blame someone for believing they'll never own a house in the metro area.

Mcdonalds, Hungry Jacks, Pizza Hut, Fasta Pasta and an Ampol Road Pantry iirc. Might have been a KFC too.
