We’re waiting on another interest rate rise at around 9:30 this morning… should cost us a lot of money… maybe $100 a month or more. If so that wipes out tax breaks and other rises we’ve had.
In fact… I think it’s time to bite the bullet and downsize the transport. It’s nice to have a big expensive car… but if the parents decide they’ll be coming back *next* year as well… I think we’ll have to look round for a big *cheap* car… we’ll have to look at how much a Tarago would cost… though the Voyager is far more practical for us.
Ah well… maybe Labor will get in at the next election… oh god that’s even *more* depressing 😦
EDIT:
Rates went up by .25% so we’re still going to be worse off.
