For example, in 1980, a truck driver in New Zealand earned $10 per hour, thus $21k annual, a nice home in a lesser priced suburb could be purched for $25-40k, $200k got you a historic mansion in a great innercity zone. Effectively, they could enter the property ladder immediately, at payments of no more than 30% of their salary (by govt mandate). Entry level homes were approximately twice the average annual salary.

Today, the truck driver averages $12-16hr, a little over $25 -35k annually, house prices are around $300k in the cheaper suburbs, the innercity home between 2-5mill. He has no chance of servicing even the interest on a entry level home mortgage, and if he works additional jobs is taxed at the higher secondary income rate. Entry level homes are ten times the average salary, effectively pricing single people out of the market.

What is your forecast for the coming years in the market? How do the masses buy homes in future? Whats a single persons best act today? Ticks pls

I think my boyfriend is acting fishy, but my instinct tells me that it is not another woman. He disappeared for awhile and then popped back up on Christmas Eve. He said he still loved me and that nothing has changed, and has yet declined to tell me why he disappeared.

In the last convo we had before his disappearance, it was great and he said that he was lucky to have me and wanted to love me for a long time (English isn't his first language, so sometimes things come out sounding funny).

I definitely know that him being with another person is a possibility...I'm not stupid...but my heart tells me this isn't the case. what other reasons would make a person act strange all of a sudden?
