the 2014 trivial drivel thread

What does "make you go halves in a two bedder's mean"? Like, share an apartment?

He is suggesting we go in ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ in an investment property. Any expenses (contractors, agents etc.) can also be used as tax deductions. These properties can also generate income.

Oh fuck off! That just means you made a vulgar amount of money.

No, it means I worked my ass off. And I just looked at the Real estate prices in Launceston and holy shit they've gone up a lot since last time I looked! Make that go you halves in a two bedder..

Lonnie is a hole! You cannot throw a cat in that place without running into someone you don't want to meet. Cheap real estate when I was at uni, but it gets boring. I'm in Hobart, much nicer, Syndey to Hobart Yacht race every year and they have this food festival around the same time. It is awesome. It can get boring around here, they are backward, definitely cannot compete with Sydney in that respect. But it is friendly and wonderful to have a family in. People are so polite and courteous on the road compared to other states. But it still has it's fair share of bogans, generational ruling class and people who have not even left the island who think they are better than you.

This is a picture of my first unit I rented when I arrived in Launceston. It costs $150 per week in 2004. You can see in the background my mother standing holding the then baby. That is my first car in Launceston a 1992 Magna cost $2000. To be honest, I really don't care about material things, or money or that kind of stuff. Many do, I don't. I just always make do with where I am at. I don't complain, I always have a feeling of gratitude for what I have. Be it looked down upon and besmirched by others, the money I earn is honest and I try to give back where ever and when ever I can.
