The big killer for pensioners is rent. You didn’t mention it as an expense so I’m assuming you “own” the place you’re living in?

We bought a place for my wife’s parents. Both on the pension and paid us nominal rent. They were able to save plenty.

If they’d been renting in the private market, different story.

 No, FF. I rent.

 But, like a lot of pensioners, especially disabled pensioners, we are subsidised by rent assistance.

 It helps if you don't smoke, drink alcohol or do drugs.

 Or have ten streaming services.

 I have always been a good money-manager. If things got tough I just increased my work hours to cover expenses. 

 I used to work sixteen hours a day...on an easy day.

 Sometimes, I worked all night, napping every few hours.

 People do what they need to do. 

 I have never been well-off, but I learned very early that to have any fun you needed to sacrifice other things.

Didn't you say something about the sword of damocles hanging over renters? Are you in public housing?

In South Coogee, 47% of households were purchasing or fully owned their home, 15.7% were renting privately, and 28.1% were in social housing in 2021.

Hmm, surprising. Must have been built in the days where social housing was built close to infrastructure ... and the beach. Now they would sell you out to a developer and move you to Claymore.Evil Smile
