"Some things? Your asking people to step outside of society. "
No just to come back to reality
"Those costs brought up in the first thread are only viable if your living in a kibbutz or a member of a secret religious sect tucked away in the bush."
Mate you have no idea.
"I forgot to mention a night out with the boys on the town. That's $250 and an absolute necessity once every 6 weeks. $11 for a pint of beer in the city of Melbourne. $20 entry fee to nightclubs and $30 minimum for a cab ride home."
This is a luxury NOT a necessity. Too many luxuries are now considered necessities - you complain about house prices being expensive and the need for them to come back to reality yet you don't expect people to come back to reality on other areas of their life.
