    As a single person with no chance of an inheritance and no family support in Vic, and who probably can’t ever maintain a 5-day full time job for more than a few months at a stretch without burning out, I’m seriously wondering if I can afford to exist beyond being a financial conduit from my employer to the landlord

    Not saving that much moving to the outermost suburbs as there’s less stock for singles and a jump in commuting costs and time. The only real future I have is to move interstate to live with family

      Hugs.

      Yes. Family is now one our most important assets. Hate to describe it like that but that’s what it is.

        It honestly is. Financially and emotionally (isolation can be expensive). Which is all the more heartbreaking when you draw the short straw on that front.
