We are in our in our late twenties with no children so at present we only have to think about ourselves. I wonder if someone will be able to advise us if our living accommodation and suburb choice is realistic, im not fussed if you are brutally honest.
We're looking to live in Malvern in a 2 bedroom house / flat. Anything half descent seems to be at the $400 - 450 PW range, we would like to be fairly close to the city, given our age we still like to think that we can mix it with the best of'em so we dont want to be too far from the action. From looking at job search websites and registering with a couple of agencies it seems our joint income should be approx $140k PA. The sums seem to suggest that we would be okay but does anyone think we are being unrealistic with our choice?
Cheers..........Mark & Caroline (now realizing that the move is getting very close).  |
Hi , Malvern is a lovely suburb and has great shopping and restaurants, i lived there when i was in my early 20's. It has good transport links to cbd .Surrounding areas are nice as well with Chapel St not far for nights out with trendy bars.I think you will have no probs financially on your salaries .Good Luck .Melbourne is the best city in Oz !!
