No mate, you were competing against young professional couples (double income no kids) who combined prolly earn twice or 3 or 4 or 5 yours.

Most are little Aussie battlers just like you.

Little to do with down hill skiers spending grandpa's cash. They work just as hard as you or harder. I will tell you this, there are a lot of late twenties graduates who might earn six figures starting with 2, but they don’t dare leave the office before the partners do until like 8pm.

Congratulations mate. But what you say is irrelevant to what I was talking about. You were implying that you were the struggling little aussie battler, swimming against the tide of those trust babies who don't know what life is about.
