Howdy
Just reading some Friday afternoon junk news and came across this.

Interesting and no double talked about before.
But it got me thinking about affordability, Is property really this "affordable" or are some people just reaching beyond their means.
It took myself and My partner at the time 1 year to save for a property on average wages.
Maybe Brisbane is still behind, but I honestly laugh at those who say they can't afford to buy property.
I have a few friends who despite being on above average wages, are always broke.
Maybe I'm just sick of hearing peoples excuses as to why they will never improve their lives.
I even had one friend who was left 100k from grandparents.
I spoke with him after he wasted 50k on private chartered helicopter flights etc.
I asked him why not get your money to make you more money, his answer was maybe, but i'm not ready to make big life choices like that.
No doubt all the money has been spent.
Sigh....
