What a load of rubbish

So having to work 70hrs a week just to cover the mortgage with two incomes, paying 17-19% interest on your loan is a sweet spot

My parents paid 65K for their house in Sydney and trust me they were broke, we lived with no A/C, no luxuries, no holidays, no smart phone, no computers and drove a crappy old car.

My dad was a tradie getting up at 4:30am driving an hour and a half to work each way, mum had two jobs just to make ends meet, I started work at 15 often having two or more jobs while studying at TAFE, yes we had it easy

Stop making excuses and take responsibility for what you want to achieve and do what it takes to get there.
