hi everyone.

was wondering with the coronavirus case in broken hill whats chance of it getting to south australia.

am only a little concerned because the aunts house/yard that am living with is not setup for me to have own seperate space with its own bathroom and kitchen seperate from the main house and like to have own space.

also because the local mens shed may have to close so will cabins and at moment theyre the only options for me to have own space and a proper shed and am so dependant on them.

what options is there at moment while still living with her without spending your whole centrelink payment in expenses or trying to take on a big loan before having saved atleast 20% for a deposit.

what is a way to get a exemption to have alternative accomodation once in while and what would you need to do and how would you go about getting exemption.

am realising that she will likely have same property her whole life and you got to pay your own way like everyone else has to

whatever outcome is her house will still be primary residense atleast for a while.

due to being happy living with her, if her yard was atleast 2000m2 preferably atleast 1ha then putting a large van with a toilet and shower or a tiny house would just work and it wouldnt matter if it took 20 years to get the property.

also years ago people only borrowed what they could afford for property and saved for bits at a time where as now people will borrow to the max and have a house where they only have to turn the key and thats it and it has everything at the start. why would be like that now. would it becuase this generation grew up constantly updating things and having everything and the best at the start and now are used to it where as previous generations grew up making do and having same things for ages and fixing up or adding later.

thanks

Hey @daisy20202-7,

I guess your chance is as good as any, especially since people are being a bit silly with covid lockdowns at the moment. Hopefully, people start to pull their heads in.

Are you talking about a lockdown situation and you don't want to have to share your space?

If so, off to bcf and just buy a camping table with sink and a gas cooker and maybe a camping shower.. seems to cheapest way.  

 You could ask your aunt if she is happy to have a tiny house out the back, lots of demountable options that can be dropped in via a tow truck and then you just need to get them wired and plumbed up.
