Ever looked at house prices and thought that could never be me? This week’s Money Diarist had that exact moment. She was newly married, with $50 in the bank after the honeymoon, watching Sydney property prices climb while they were still trying to get ahead. So instead of accepting their fate as “forever renters,” they made a decision most people talk about, but don’t actually follow through on... they packed up and moved to a regional town. It meant leaving behind friends and family, and starting again in a place where they didn’t know anyone. And no, it wasn’t instant success. There were setbacks, second guesses, and plenty of moments where they wondered if they’d made a huge mistake. If you’ve ever felt locked out of home ownership, this one might just shift your entire perspective.
