Trying to get to know the community a bit more.

If you want to share figures (you don't have to) you might probably want to use a throwaway account, better safe than sorry.

    I was. I was making 100k AUD, able to support another through University and easily pay my relatively small mortgage.

    With interest rates gone up, I'm paying 50% more for the mortgage, and bigger increase than that on food, gas, electricity, rates and hot water. We are on the edge of comfortable, though our budget still has a little fat we can trim. I don't like the effective pay decrease I've had this last while, so no; I would be happy going back to two years ago levels of comfort.
