if you leave school and then earn about $17000-$18000 in the next 18 months, the gov't will grant you independent status and give you payments regardless of what your parents earn.
yeah absolutely i know. but if you're going to defer, it's a good target. you could plan to have some savings for the first 6 months (at least) of uni, and then get the payments. but if it doesn't suit you i understand, i'm just checking that you know about it.
Damn. You and Rach should moan at the stoopid Gov't together - they are doing the same thing to her (only she is able to manage).
I wish I could give you this fantastic solution, but I'm afraid I can't think of any. No chance that you go down and find a job to cover everything? No, well, it was just a thought.
But hey - you stay here and you'll find worthy things to do with the year, and you'll have the wonderful opportunity for spending more time with me ^_^
Mum and Dad are exchanging meaningful glances which tends to mean that they'll pay for something, if only to avoid the hassle. I dont like being a charity case but atm I'll take what i can get.
