This is for the person who left a comment on an article in the SMH either yesterday or Friday, he went by the name DC and called himself an "Australian Battler" including the quotation marks.
I tried to find the article again, but I couldn't find it. Most likely because I remember the comment more than the article. He said he was an Australian Battler on 150k a year and doing it tough. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this!
How can someone who earns 150k a year be crying poor? I invite him to come meet us and raise him this question, "If he is an Australian Battler, what does that make us?"
We're a family of four living on a single income which is supposed to be roughly 50 to 55k a year. But that's not right, with only 1300 coming in every fortnight and our rent eating up half of that, we are left with 650 a fortnight to cover bills, childcare costs, petrol, groceries and every now and again clothes etc and yet we are able to set aside a measly sum of that income. And for what? I'm not sure yet, not with the price of everything set to head north.
I could go back to being a stay-at-home mum and save on childcare costs but for the sake of my sanity, childcare is a small price to pay until D2's old enough to go to school with D1.
$150k a year = Australian Battler, I only have one thing to say PFFT.
