    I am still having my daily smashed avocado and still can’t afford to buy property, even thought prices have dropped 20% ;).

    So, it is NOT a distant memory for me, still feeling the pain :eek:.

    Maybe, things will be easier when prices drop 40%, especially for property :D.

    >politician tells people to stop wasting money on bs like smash avo and iPhones
    >complains about weak consumer spending putting the economy in jeopardy

    Even the logic goes backwards in Australia! :p

    There is a third option - move regionally

    Have the best damn house you can think of for a much much more affordable price. Regional Australian life is life on easy mode.

    Nice. I wonder if anyone has done a study on Aussie spending on coffee vs alcohol? I always thought there should be a market for way overpriced coffee like there is for overpriced wine

    I don't spend any more money on wine each week than my hubby spends in the city on his coffees.

    I think APRA has had the desired effect in reducing the cost of Avocados so that FHB can save for a home and still enjoy a good breakfast.
