I love living in F T G and have done for 14 years not more than 500 mt from bowen St up on the side of the hill.
The shopping village is very country like with almost all you need 5 Min walk away. The area is predominately 40 + empty
Nester's and both of my children have there own homes in the area. I don't see ftg as having a crime problem but crime
is every ware, some streets are worst than others, some sets of units worst than others.
now the bad things you may find knox rates to be high but we get good services for it.
if you don't like to hear sirens well in summer they are going off every other day (not at night) and tested on Sunday at 11 00 am but we love our cfa and after a while you don't hear it.

No 1. The best advise i can give you is to live as cheap as pos. If you can live at your parents home this is the cheapest if not rent with a friend or find someone to rent the spare room or better the 2 spare rooms.No 2. Learn the difference of a asset and a possession
No 3. I tort about 10 apprentices that wanted to go out and buy $15000 or $20000 car or Ute's. I ask them would you give the money to me and in five years i will give you back $3000. lot of them only spent $3000 on a car.
No 4.It is not how much you get payed but how much of your pay you can save.
No 5. The way you are chopping though your debts you are doing really well if you can keep it up you can be debt free in 8 months or sooner and you can start saving for investing .No 6. Dare to be different to your friends and you will be rewarded for your efforts
No 7.Read as many books as you can and read them again. I've read a book then read one or two more and gone back to the first and understood to better. Keep reading and asking questions on the forum people love to help.
No 8. That new computer you have should have m/soft money on it. It has a very handy feature called future cash-flow you put in all your bills and a deposit every time you get payed and you can see where your money has gone and where your money is going to go.
