    Whinge, moan, complain....you're starting to sound like my misses. Instead of bitching about how hard it is why dont you put that energy into actually trying to achieve something, you can get your foot into the door but it simply means you have to start at the bottom of the ladder as somebody alluded to earlier...no i can't do that i want the penthouse suite and i want it NOW!!! And no i wouldn't want to walk around in the shoes of the youth today, dont think i could handle the arrogance and smugness that they portray these days.

    Sure i am 50k a year the average Australian wage...my wife stays at home looking after our one childd...my take home pay is around $700 a week...the rent for a unit in my town is an average $300 per week. I have $400 a week...fuel is $80 a week and food cost around $100 a week leaving us with $220 a week.

    So with the $220 left over we need to buy clothes, pay the phone bill, car rego and insurance.

    We are the average young aussie and we can save around $100 a week if we dont take a holiday...Yes I should ahve gone to uni...but what if i went to uni who will do my job?

    Do you get it yet...i dont have an ipod or plasma tv and have no debt
