Thanks, I'm quite happy to have a just scraping by wage this year or even this and next year but I've set myself up for very low housing costs. Just when starting a new job and waiting on centrelink to grace me with the god of the health care card it's tight without delving into my hard earned and sacrificed for savings. To quote a stupid tshirt, "I am gay and $500 is $500." That what is says isn't it?
