When I started at woolies I was on $7ish an hour, when I hit 17 I was on $9ish an hr. I was there for about 1.5years I think Earning about $10,000-$12,000 a year. After that I worked at Darwin Mitsubishi as a junior storeman for like $12.50 and hour, I was on about $22,000 a year. At the moment I don't have an hourly rate salary bitches :D On $37000 a year atm, equates to just under $1200 a fortnight.
Alison(girlfriend) has gotten herself a pretty much fulltime job at a daycare centre pulling in about $1000 a fortnight.
So yeah we are currently discussing options. 3 year anniversary tomorrow ;)
