Hi all, having been a long time lurker, I've noticed a few of you are from WA. Having only taken up surfing recently and starting university, I really want to move out if possible; within walking distance of Perth's favourite beachie so I don't need to drive 30min or so to go for a paddle.

Chances are I'll be able to make 300ish a week and maybe a bit more here and there. Is that enough for me to get by? I am still in the planning stage as my degree is getting pretty intensive so chances of me working more will keep decreasing as the years add up; the draw back of such medical degree. I know most definately once I'm done, I'll be aiming for a place as close to the waves as possible but for the time being, I guess I'll have to settle for renting and moving out.

So anyone got any tips? Anyone got any good ideas of how much I'll need, how much I should be working etc in order to be able to do this?

You could also look around for a dirty hippy share house. One that violates several fire codes, but with dirt cheap rent.

CHeers guys, yeah it seems like a tough one at the moment. Even though parents don't even want me moving out! So far I guess I'll just keep working and saving up the dough and see how things go year end.

I don't know mate, think Sub's place might be packed to the limit with sharks hiding from public purgatory at the moment

Wow Legion, or should that be Uncle Legion! I liked the part where you encouraged him to go rural because desperate women will latch onto him just so they can leave Just what you look for in a chick, utter desperation and a deep desire to use you as vehicle to fulfill their goals!!! Gold and I hope young Waveless heeds this sage advice.

Im not sure Bakesy. I had a mate who was a Doctor but was absolutely dead ugly.. His only chance was to lead with "Well I am a doctor". His RSVP account he said "Im no stunner but i am a qualified Doctor so have great hands" 100% true story

God love him and R.I.P Deano
