How much ****in money do you have campaigner?

We were dinks for like 20 years, bought our first house in elizabeth downs as it was ****ing cheap and we were both at Uni. We got like 30k gifted equity as it was my missus' grandmas place. Got us in the door. Flipped it i think 6 years later after Uni, landed good jobs. Climbed the property ladder and have invested into stocks. Kids has definitely put a handbrake on growth but we bought our second place for 575k and its now 1.4m but we harnessed equity to reinvest into the house and build it as an asset.

It hasnt been all smooth sailing but we were kinda frugal early days and lived in a shocking area just to get us into a house. I only ended up renting for 3 months of my life before we both decided **** that and put everything on the line to make sure we got a house. We did both work full time during Uni (i did my degree like 90% as absentee) so sacrifices were definitely made early to set us up for where we are now. It did take some time for the momentum to build and it did require a fair bit of ambition. I had to job hop a lot early days to increase my wage. Started in government on around a 50k graduate wage after working in retail managememt for 5 years during uni taking all the weekend and penalty rate days. I didn't have a weekend for years. From there, got internally promoted to a about 75k, then left for 100k into consulting, then from consulting to local government for 120k then local government to startup for 150k then internal promotion to 180k and I wont disclose what i'm on now a few more jobs deeper.

The missus really got the ball rolling somehow landing an 80k job straight out of Uni, but she stagnated around the 110k mark and obviously now kids and part time etc. but our double income was huge for a long time and we dont travel or generally spend big on anything besides cars and back into the house.

I did still have to work full time on chemo for the money, so we are asset rich but not totally sort of liquid cash rich. It was particularly bad timing as the missus was on maternity leave and her income was like 25% of what it was so I had to carry the can a bit.

Regardless, all goes back to the early work really, very long term pooled incomes from our "high school sweethearts" situation and that little leg up from the missus' grandma to help us avoid mortgage insurance for buying her house. It was $200k, bottom of the barrel shit. We sold it for 220k but had built some nice equity to put forward onto house number 2 where we are now. We are blessed but i'd like to think atleast some has been off the sweat of the brow.

They're the absolute best

Sometimes I look up the houses used in Miami Vice, and they've pretty much all been ruined by modern day boring design.

lol remember that house where that body was chopped up and put in a freezer on greenhill road I think? That place was ****ing weird looking to begin with, it really didnt need the murder part.

Think it became a dentist or something after, just to add an extra layer. Gone now.

Even the ones still standing have had all their cool interesting deco features renovated away by rich people with more money than style.

Key Details of the Case:

Victim: Derrance Stevenson, 44, found dead in a freezer at his home, 189 Greenhill Road, Parkside.

Convicted: David Szach, Stevenson's lover, was convicted of murder in 1979 and sentenced to life imprisonment.

The Discovery: Police found Stevenson's body in a super-glued and taped freezer after Szach was located in Coober Pedy and arrested in connection with Stevenson's car.

Controversy: Szach protested his innocence for years, claiming Dr. Colin Manock's time-of-death forensic evidence, based on a liver thermometer reading, was flawed and crucial to his conviction.

New Evidence & Appeals: Legal efforts in the 2000s highlighted concerns about Manock's methods and potential miscarriages of justice, leading to Szach's eventual release on parole in 1993 under unique circumstances

Lol hes ****ing living among us.

Should still be standing it was a curio & of course the murder gave it odd Adelaide vibes.

I reckon Szach was guilty I dived into it years ago & he just didn't pass the sniff test even his defense attorney thought he was guilty.

If you go to NZ you must go to Napier. The city was destroyed by an earthquake in 1931 so they rebuilt in what they saw as the most modern architectural form at the time which was Art Deco.

Mrs Dore and I were there for the Art Deco Festival in 2024.

Is that the house on Greenhill Road where they found a dead body in the freezer with his amputated appendage in his mouth.

Edit: as per JimmyBC's post.
