Prices have tanked on the sunshine coast haven't they? You should be able to snavel a bargain

I really hope so, Cowie.

This is a dream come true for me.

I come from a long line of Centerlink sucking Housos.

I really feel like I have actually broken that toxic cycle that has cursed my people since they were shipped out as convicts. There is no way I ever came from half decent stock.[DOUBLEPOST=1424764714][/DOUBLEPOST]

NO definitely no pool.

We just want a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom modern home with a triple garage.

That's so awesome to hear! I am sometimes pretty perfunctory about my excitement over others buying real estate, like good for them and all that but it doesn't excite me, you know - but I actually am happy for you and all that this represents to you.
 
I come from welfare sucking housos too, great feeling rising above it :)

Not a long line, my grandparents worked hard, my mother was lazy and entitled.

Ok, hit me with some advice, I need to buy a new phone, I have an I phone 4, I need to buy a phone outright, but I don't really want to spend so much for the I phone 6. Soooo should I get and I phone 5 s or a Samsung 5??

I will confess that I am biased towards Apple but here is WHY I would suggest the iPhone over the Samsung.

If you get a new iPhone... first you back up your phone to your iTunes, then when you get your new phone you restore from back up. This way all your photos, apps, music, contacts, messages - everything is brought along. This is a massive time saver. Other than letting the computer do its thing while, restoring, you don't have to set up the phone at all. It will even keep the same ring tones, message tones, alarms, alerts, favourites ... EVERYTHING. If you're not very techy - this makes the transition basically seamless.
If you have purchased apps then I think this is one of the biggest reasons to stick with Apple.

If you haven't purchased apps and you only ever use free apps, then I guess if you're happy to spend more time setting up the new phone, learning the new software, entering all your contacts etc then you may prefer the Samsung. I think maybe the samsungs are cheaper? Well there are certainly lots of cheaper options within the android ecosystem.

Ultimately it's up to you and someone like @Consuela can sell you on the benefits of android. He is equally as biased to android as I am to apple. In the end, do what you will feel comfortable with and what phone you will enjoy using the most :)

Hope that's helpful.
 
@Trala I am so exited for you!
I hope you find the house hunting experience fun and not stressful and ultimately you end up with a place that you love at the cheapest possible price.

For you ----> :)
