dumbo,
oz childcare (well, in melbourne vic anyway) is so expensive! not to mention long waiting list for good ones but good childcare is really, well truly great esp the ones with research initiatives run by universities because that just means more funding. don't forget private school fees when they go to prep, unless you don't mind sending kaitlyn to a public school. my sister's sil sends both children to private school and the annual fee is on par with what i paid as an international student in uni! kena sai..
on flat,
renting it out sounds logical right? firstly, the culmination of two households results in one source of expenditure every month, the extra income is savings. for the sake of economics, i will consider. for the sake of sanity, i might not. i don't mind biting the bullet and work harder. urgh.
