By Lisa BreenAustralian Financial Review article Posted March 18, 2018 10:07:23It was a stormy night.

My House was just a block away, and I had just taken my last breath in the comfort of my home.

I was lying on the bed, my eyes shut, and a lump started to form on my forehead.

I’d had enough.

For the past two years, I had lived in my parents’ house in central Sydney.

There had been a storm, the weather was still a little chilly, and the house was in disrepair.

My parents had just finished a renovation, and they had spent about $150,000 on the house, the equivalent of about £30,000.

We’d just bought the Property in December.
