A quiet, reflective moment in May 2022 would be the beginning of the end of my life as I'd known it. It had been exactly a year since I'd packed up my stuff and moved into a historic, dilapidated home. The long-held dream of owning a freestanding cottage had been my motivation. Making it a reality on a single income meant moving 90 minutes from Melbourne to the regional town of Ballarat, where I knew no one. The weatherboard, built circa 1910, was in desperate need of love.

Establishing who should pay for what can be a source of tension in a relationship because even in a dual-income scenario, it's likely one person will earn more than the other. So, how do you settle on a fair agreement? While this will depend on whether you're newly dating or established, financial planner Rebecca Pritchard recommends that established couples consider what they can achieve with shared surplus income, rather than fixating on who earns what.

我一直相信这个从婴儿潮一代一直流传到我们千禧一代的故事：只要努力工作，终有一天我能拥有自己的房子。 如果幸运的话，也许我的家还会有一个后院，有茂密的草地和晾衣绳，充足的午后阳光足以晒干我的衣服。 随着年纪增长，我越来越努力地工作。可是，我却发现，拥有属于自己的房子只是少数幸运儿的特权。 如果我继续留在墨尔本，这个我生活了大半辈子的地方，仅凭我单一的收入，根本不可能买下一栋房子。 READ MORE 因此，我搬离了熟悉的地方，开始寻找我能负担得起的房子。 这栋外墙用隔板建造的小屋位于维多利亚州的金矿区，建于1910年左右。它的外墙经历了一百多年的岁月洗礼，剥落的油漆和腐朽的篱笆栅栏让人对门槛外的景象充满了期待。 主卧的地板上有一个洞，但可以修补。走廊上扎眼的红色也可以被刷成白色。 另一个房间是充满活力的青绿色，如果我愿意发挥想象，也许能把碎花地毯改造成新的用途。 妮可的故事引发了人们对“经济适用房”为何如此难以获得的思考。 Source: Supplied 屋外的栅栏上有几股磨损的绳子，系在几支生锈的木钉上，虽然不牢固，但还是固定住了绳子。...

我一直相信，從嬰兒潮世代一直傳到千禧世代的故事：只要努力工作，終有一天我能夠成功置業。 如果幸運的話，也許我的家會有一個後院，有茂密的草地和晾衣繩，可以有午後陽光，時間足以晾乾我的衣服。 可是，隨著我長大和工作，年紀越來越大，工作越來越努力，很明顯，置業逐漸變成只是少數幸運兒的特權。 僅憑單一收入，如果我繼續留在度過了大半生的墨爾本，根本不可能買下一間獨立屋。 因此，開始在熟悉的巿郊以外，尋找我所能負擔的房屋。 這間外牆以隔板建造的小屋，位於維州金礦區，約於 1910 年建成。其外牆經過了百多年的歲月洗禮，剝落的油漆和腐朽的柵欄尖樁，為門檻之外的情況，設定了實際的預期。 主人房地板上有一個洞，是可以修葺的。走廊上有威嚇力的紅色，很快就會改油上白色。 另一間房是活力充沛的石灰綠色。如果我準備好發揮創意，也許可以找到花樣圖案地毯的新用途。 妮歌的故事，帶出了為何「可負擔」住屋如此難求的問題。 Source: Supplied 在屋外，柵欄上有一個裝置，裡面的繩磨損了，交織著好幾遍。 幾支腐朽的木釘抓住了繩，雖然不可靠，畢竟還是緊緊抓住了。...
