Yes - but I'll say it again...... in the lat 1980's a bloke where I worked bought a house in Marrickville for $45,000.... on about $600 a week.... now the same house would cost you $1.8m - twenty times the late 80's price -and if you are VERY lucky - you might bring in - before tax - $1500 a week...

Now you were saying? When I was fifteen I finished high school - A class and final year - child prodigy you see..... and due to poverty the Army gave me my first good pair of shoes when I joined at just under 17. Unless you were rich or had a solid family - you didn't go to uni then...

Building at the moment, $45,000 will just pay for the driveway. No stormwater is allowed to leave the property, I also had to have an inspection and report on bushfire risks carried out, the house is in the middle of a 50 yr old suburb with the closest bush about 10 kms away.

In the early 80's I monitored a conversation where a guy was talking about buying a place at Glebe for $80K. Around the same time I bought a place in the west of sydney for $73K. $45 at Marrickville doesn't sound realistic at that time, maybe 15 years earlier unless it was falling down.
