        Edit: it’s a Mazda 6, I got it confused with another car I was looking at.

          smart choice! Everyone loves to bag them, but never heard a complaint from someone who actually owns one. only know people who regret selling them.

              Yeaaaaah nah, not worth it unless you’re making serious coin. And sadly I don’t think a Corolla will last just a while…I think your stuck with it till the heat death of the universe. They don’t die.

                  thank Christ. Still, find yourself a good mechanic. Dont take it to mazda for anything they are useless. Also there is a carplay upgrade you can do if its the current gen and doesnt already have it. LOL, wait, you didnt buy it from Hamish did you?

              Mazda 6 is solid as. Nice and comfy, with enough guts to overtake people that like to do 20 under on the freeway.

              Enjoy your ride mate :)

                I nearly bought one in 2007. It was between a Mazda 6 and a Pulsar. In the end, I went with the Pulsar because it was $2k cheaper, and all other things about the cars were pretty equal.

                My life circumstances changed over the next decade (had a family), and the Pulsar was a bit small for us by the end. I ended up wishing I’d gone with the Mazda.

                I think you made the right choice.

                  I’m not a huge fan of smallish diesel cars, unless they’re European cars.

                  Mazdas overall are solid cars, quality and reliability wise.

    I complained about being put on the spot, about me asking for her input and getting nothing and all after the day of crappiness yesterday, pointed out “sorry you feel that way” isn’t really an apology. And now i’m the bad guy, and shes gonna call and tell people we are not going.

    Great. Could’ve sat down and had a civil conversation about it rather than it become a fight and I sleep in the spare bed… Everythings gotta be a fight, and I am not into it.

    Entered the new place today.

    sad realisations

    Oh man it is somehow a lot smaller and sadder than I remember. And the road noise is so much more noticeable than at my place. I’m not even sure my fridge will fit. E: I have gone back and measured and it will JUST barely fit. Thank fuck. Like an idiot I didn’t measure anything while I was inspecting (because it was tenanted). I am really, really cracking the sads right now back at my current place knowing how much I have to give up. It just doesn’t feel like what I’ve worked for at all… Fucking rental market…

    Feels like I really am saying goodbye to a whole life in stages. Will any of it be worth it? I’m going to have to fast forward the chat with work about whether I’ll be able to work primarily remotely after I finish uni. The only way I see out of any of this long-term is to move in with family to hyper save up a deposit. But the only family I can move in with is interstate.

    I definitely need something to look forward to because after slogging it out for years to get residency and building a life for myself I’m really sad at having to shrink it so much. I’m ready to live more expansively. I’ve really sacrificed a lot to try and finish this degree and it’s going so much worse than I expected…

    And on top of that, couch guy has turned up only to find that it’s too small for his car despite my telling him the dimensions ahead of time. So that’s fallen through as well, arrrgh… what do I do now??? Pay someone on airtasker to take it?

        I do feel like I’ve got to shrink my idea of “doing what I want” down to fit the space, especially considering how much I have to pay to still live there. Never mind the plants, I realise I will be doing a lot less cooking here as well. Need to remember the big benefit of this place is I can leave once uni is done. I’m going to make the most of that choice, not going to let this bastard rental market crush me

      I really feel for you. All I really have to say is that we’re really adaptable critters, and I’m sure once you’re over the shock of the move, you’ll get adjusted to the smaller place pretty quickly.

        Thanks 🧡 yeah, I think I’ll find a way forward and adjust my mentality to just get through the next six months. I’m lucky to have my own space at least, and not with housemates from hell. I’m lucky too that I have a great job and plenty of field work options coming up.

        It’ll be a good impetus to work on what I want in life next instead of being stuck in a rut

        My current council doesn’t do on-demand hard rubbish :/ The next booking available is well after I’ve moved out. I’ve got a friend with a station wagon, we might be able to take it to the tip. A shame as it’s a perfectly functional couch but I can’t seem to move it online

      there is nothing more delicious than someone else organising and cooking dinner and that pizza looks especially delicious

      I just had a shake for dinner and a bit of fruit and that’s ok , took 5 minutes

          Take a kid. Then you are a parent or uncle and they’ll think you’re cool, again. They’ll even let you buy PlayStation games without judgement if you have a kid in tow!
