If you’re paid fortnightly and if you’re anything like me, you’ll have one weekend of shouting rounds for your friends at the bar and Uber eats deliveries coming through every second night, followed by one weekend of counting coins and stretching out your last yellow bill, says ANNIE MUNROE. Such is the vicious circle for those of us that haven’t read The Barefoot Investor yet.
The following is a list of 5 gigs coming up in the next week where you can bank on seeing good local music at without breaking the bank. Designed for fellow pay check to pay check penny pinchers in Perth, just like me.
