Wrong rates. I was referring to savings which also reached 17%. That's why we went into recession.

Who could afford to save AND pay a mortgage?

Think I prefer the young pissed dickhead with a heart of gold Jordy over the sober farm renovator expectant father Jordy.

You say that but I'm a young pissed dickhead and you still wouldnt let me be your sugar baby.

Apparently approached Port Adelaide and Carlton.

Apparently he told Carlton he could play full forward …. 3rd tall back …. And ruck.

Well me obviously but let's not pollute the thread. It was already blown out of proportion

Time for Carlton get the brown paper bags out and sign him on the dotted line.

At 26yo, Stephenson hasn't even entered his prime. Come home Stepho

I remember when mortgage rates peaked at 17% in Australia I think around 1989. Savings accounts were getting 10% interest.
So many people not being able to pay the higher rates defaulted and lost their houses.
Others who had some money walked in and got these houses for what was owing on the mortgages.
Was a terrible time for battlers.

The late 80's were bad. We are probably derailing the thread though. As for trade and free agency, I want to bring back Stephenson

Alongside Aisha he has bought a farm an hour outside Melbourne which gut feel tells me Aisha has settled into. I’m sure the club will do everything they can to accommodate the change in JDG’s life as he welcomes a new child, but that commute is a big commitment for a first time dad alongside the pressure that no doubt comes his way as a star of the biggest club in the land. Not to mention that he’s set for life through endorsements and connections post footy.

I'm in Canberra and for $1.6m over two years, I'd drive to Sydney several times per week. In a pretty pink dress if you like.

All the absolute best to them if that's the choice they make - we all have to do what we think is right for our families and I wouldn't presume to know what's best for them.

I can just speak from my own experiences raising a family... It's easier to live a comfy lifestyle and raise your kids with all that extra money in the bank. It also means potentially retiring years earlier if invested soundly.

****ers.

Boomer 1 - I bought a heap of houses really cheap and made a heap of money
Boomer 2 - I also bought a heap of houses and made a heap of money, but they weren't as cheap as you remember.
Boomer 1 - Nah they were ****ing cheap
Boomer 2 - Nah they weren't you dickhead

in the late 60's my parents bought a new housing commission place for 13k. they moved 60kms to find something they could afford which was a long way from Melb CBD. Dad was on about 2k a year. So roughly 6.5 x his wage.

Today you can get an entry level house and land package in the outer suburbs (from Bonnie Brook to Melton) from 500 - 650k. Roughly 5 x the ABS listed average income in 2025.

People don't want to live where they can afford.

The median salary is about $67k - $500-650k is a lot more than 5x that

I can't do either

Excuse me, I'm Gen X. We are the ones who had to fix all the problems created by the Boomers who f-ed things up with bad lending standards.

Can you hurry up then and fix all the other problems caused by the boomers?

 

[Chunky Steak]

Can you hurry up then and fix all the other problems caused by the boomers?

We're too busy caring for them as they get dementia, while raising and/or supporting our kids, and watching all these other "generations" arguing about avocadoes and vacant stares or whatever TF it is they talk about. We need clones and extra sets of arms.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Bring him home

I wouldn't bet on it.

My parents first house was 30k in 1990. Mine was 120k in 2006. My second one was 410k. I'm in that now and ready to sell. Covid pushed the country price up by about 200k in 2 years.

Are you a carp?

I suppose we all have to grow up eventually

Nah. Growing old is what’s mandatory. Growing up in the other hand is completely optional.
