On a tram listening to two boomers discussing their terrible financial situations. One says he’s lived in the same house since he was 5yo, and at some point when she retired she moved out and said “The house is yours.”
He’s complaining that when TAFE offered him some casual work they only offered him $75 an hour. Something else he said indicates this was about 20 years ago.
Apparently this rate was “disrespectful” because “I’ve been a company director” and “I’m more senior than that”. So he declined after talking to the HR person who was “just a slip of a thing”.
Sadly the tram arrived at my destination, so the last thing I caught was that the land alone at Balgowlah was last valued at $4 million but selling would be “too much uncertainty” which is why they can’t travel as much as they’d like.
