Dave in perth so you want to go back to 1 income families. I really think the reason a lot of women work is because they can and want do. I think its quite an insult to the women of today to say that they should stay at home. I think you might find that because women want the freedom of choice to do want one of the consequences is a higher family income ergo more money to spend on houses. If you want to step back in time how many would accept a smaller house no fancy gadgets no overseas holidays 1 car and hand me downs. While you pine for the past you don't add that when it was 1 income per house car prices where for a basic car a years wage now a basic car is a fifth.
Mate I don't post here often because the same old rants by the same people still fill the air and I suppose in 12 months the bears will still sitting posting support for the bubble to burst.
