Regarding the average rent and average disposable income chat. Does Jack think...
Everyone rents
Everyone is a single person household
No couples rent, halving the costs
No mates rent, sharing costs
No one owns their property
No one has a mortgage
No one lives rent free at their parents
No one lives in social housing
No one gets in work benefits to help with housing costs
No one gets assistance from parents/grandparents
No one has unearned income
No one gets a pension in addition to pay (I know a few people that have claimed pension and then return to work part time)
No one has an income from being a landlord (like her dad)
I could go on. It is why they have the two categories, disposable and discretionary.
She is clueless.
