    I was looking at that rent and trying to reply to ask how they’d got something so cheap 😢

    Over $5k a month in rent here.

    Edit: my reply was going to be something along the lines of “makes friends with the neighbours and have a fun time, and enjoy those prices!”

      What are you renting? (If you don’t mind me askin?)

      I mean I don’t have a family to support so I don’t need anything big (but my toys/hobbies would beg to differ).

          Oh, reminds me of my old place! Had a very similar set up. Downsizing is super tough.

          Without revealing too much, are you in a higher SE area? It still sounds like a lot?

              Oh, haha, I see. (I meant higher socio-ec, but it has definitely gotten expensive.)

              Were they big sharehouses? I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $1500 give/take utilities?

                Typically they were huge houses with dual kitchens and had a decent home gym etc, my last room in a share house had a walk in robe, private bathroom and a private balcony for example. So again, I knew it was on the more pricey side but still…

                Also noticed you’d removed my suburb location in your reply after I deleted my comments which was a nice touch that didn’t go unnoticed, so thank you. I’ve mentioned where I live loadsa times but typically delete it after a few hours, it’s probs in my comment history on here when talking about local food haha.

                  Oh hey, yeah that makes complete sense re: rent cost. (Sounds very nice for a share house!)

                  Oh, no worries at all. I totally get it. (It’s so easy sometimes to think DDT is in its own bubble, but that’s unfortunately not the case.)
