To understand why 30-somethings feel like they're struggling financially, the ABC analysed five factors — housing, healthcare, debt, tax, and income. The data reveals this generation is caught in an economic perfect storm.
So I just read this, having just turned 30 in February and my wife turning 30 in 3 weeks time; it is super depressing.
We’re not even doing that badly we think, we are paying off two houses live in one rent the other. I’m a qualified tradesmen for the last 9 years my wife is about to finish her apprenticeship after 4 years.
We’re struggling, we’re not drowning I guess but fuck me we both work flat out 50 plus hours a week each and have no idea how we’re going to have children, pay for them especially while one of us stays home to look after them.
Obviously we’re doing better then a lot but people should be able to have one home on a single wage and support a family.
Yeah we’re similar. We’re 29/28, we own our house outright, and have 9 investment properties. But with interest rates what they are and the Mrs switching to part time work, we don’t know how we’re going to afford to buy our 10th investment property. We might have to compromise and make it an apartment 😭

Our parents had it so much easier.
