The whole situation in Australia is infuriating at the moment. I feel like I'm in a reasonable position for a young professional but I have zero chance of getting any sort of housing security with the way things are now. Between bills and rent at the moment it would take me years to save the amount needed for a deposit, and even then I'd only be able to borrow enough money for a house more than an hour and a half's commute from work each way, which totally defeats the point. I've been willing to forgo a short travel time for a reasonable place to live for years, and it's really starting to get to me. Sadly, remote work is also out of the picture thanks to the sad state of my 'ADSL2' that tops out at 2mbit/s... It's just not a great place to be right now
