I know the feeling. I'm 30. My partner is 26, from the Sutherland Shire. If we are going to get a place near her family (which she wants so badly) I just don't know how we're going to afford it. Even if I make a 6 figure sum, adding her teaching salary probably won't be enough to afford the housing prices out there.

Couple this with the fact that neither of our parents have the money to help us buy a house... I'm pretty sure we're doomed for now.

I keep thinking to myself... save or invest a tonne of money and wait until the housing bubble bursts to buy a house. I'm not economically savvy really, so I don't know how good a plan that is.
