    I would suggest your best option with least risk is to move into a share house, see how you manage your money and go from there. Not only that but it might be better if you can approach a bank/broker having been in a position where you have had to manage your money for a length of time away from mum and dad. Small steps!

    I just painted our place myself. Exposed beams, then all ceilings, walls, trim and doors. Definitely worth doing yourself, a full job like that would cost a fair bit, not sure where people are finding painters that would do it for $1800-$2000. Not in my part of Sydney anyway.

    As mentioned by someone else, doing the trims before the walls is a good idea, I didn’t and its near impossible to do the trims without getting paint on the walls.

    I also said ‘never again’. But gee its nice to sit back and see the work I’ve put in. Proud moment. :)
