As an example, me and my wife both are RNs, due to we need to look after 2 young daughters, we both only work casual, our total income is only around 3000per 2 weeks now which is just enough for living and home loan, we can't save up any money due to childcare
E is really expensive, but if one of us work as full time again, the others work as casual, life will be easier
Well, we need to pay health insurance, home loan, daily living for 4 of us, other expenses like for daughter to learn dancing and swimming, also childcare which is around 150aud per head per day, so we can't save money much, and I have not seen my wife for a long time, due to I work day shift, she works night shift only, and we need to pay around 3000aud per month for home loan now, also expensive for water, electricity and strata
For the tax issue, two lower income will claim tax back more then one high income, and I don't want to kill my wife for just looking after my 2 monster, in the same time, my wife actually earn more than me and she is more senior than me, so better for her to work also
Agree so, that is why my GP hate us a lot, due to we ask her to do thing more than she suggest us, but in the same time, my GP at least is better than who we met before, at least she is listening. And while I was working in ED, we saw a lot of cases which the GP was fx king up the patient just give the wrong treatment end up with a serious infection
Normally here is 0800 to 1600, or 0900 to 1700, some child care will close before 1800, for K1, they may have after hour care which can be up to. 1800 also
