my mortgage payment is ~$4.5k/mo haha and that's for a 30 year loan... yeah... but I'm looking to pay that loan off in ~10 years...doesn't leave a huge chunk of cash for "fun" stuff, but no kids helps a lot there. Still, I consider myself very lucky to be able to do what I'm doing.

I bought an over the radiator intake for the shop car, vcm mafless with infill panels. Should arrive this week or early next week.

 

Will have to get the tune dialled right in, good enough isn't good enough anymore :declare:

 

Happy to discuss more personal stuff in person when you carnts come for free dyno tuning or the next cruise lol ;)

Got a stark reality when we moved east…

 

$1400 rent per week on a place… liked the house and area so explored the possibility of purchasing it… 

 

Found out it’s valued at $4.5 mil 

 

Da…. Faaaaaark

woah, you're renting for $1400/wk? wow, that's just throwing cash away, unless it's a fantastic position or fantastic size... or both...

That's pretty up there but it always has been in that area. I looked at a 2 bed rental in Maroochydore about 15 years ago and it was $400pw even then.

Yeah crazy hey! 

2 bed apartment is about $900-$1000 here atm… 

 

But it’s not uncommon to see houses in the $2-3k per week realm either 

 

Our place is a modest 3 bed 80s build… 2000s updated kitchen but everything else is original so not fancy… 

 

But it is on the water with our own dock/pontoon and I can see the city and coast from our pool… so it’s prime position that’s the $ I guess. But I was shocked when the neighbour sold (Same house without a new kitchen and a smaller pool basically) for $4.25 mil a couple months ago. 🤯

 

Normal income families just can’t afford that… I chose the area based on the schools… didn’t realise the neighbours all had lambos and g wagons though 🤣
