Thats ok , we have good lifestyle also but i think when we first started thinking about going to Oz we were a part of the rose tinted specs brigade this forum has really opened our eyes to the good and bad Oz has to offer
we know our "materialistic" life will change but we are hoping for a better quality of life as a family!
Until we have done it we wont know as everyone has their own opinion of good and bad!
So keep with this forum it really does give you a whole load of opinions and advice!

A bit like divulging your personal finances then?

autra

sorry but i thought this forum was about being truthful and helpfully, not about jealousy.

I have found this forum mainly honest and helpful but you do have to appreciate eveyone has their opinion and as this is all written and not spoken it may sometimes come accross the wrong way!

i would say this forum is very helpfull. it's just a shame people take things the wrong way sometimes.

you were only asking a question which i'm sure we would all like to know....

autra

autra

To be fair, I think that Anne4terry is not being jealous. I can understand how she misunderstood the point of your post. To be honest, it does sound a bit like how she interpreted it, I'm sure you would agree if you read it back.

Your reply has obviously hit a nerve and she regrets divulging what she did as she has deleted that post.

Sometimes people get upset by what others post, it is only natural. However, I must say that Anne is usually a very friendly, caring poster and I have not known her say anything to upset anybody before.

As for your question, I don't really have any answers but going by what I have read on here I would expect that your lifestyle will change considerably. Saying that, I have a fairly nice lifestyle. 4 bedroomed house, nice holidays, daughter has a pony etc., etc. We are by no means well off. I have discovered though that all this does not make you happy!!! I am permanently stressed about whether the kids get paint on my floors, spilt drinks on the dining room carpet blah, blah, blah.

When I used to live in a council house and was totally skint when my girls were babies I thought nothing of Putting some paper down on the carpet and letting them paint till their hearts content and I have even been known to put their paddling pool up in the front room in the winter. Those times were much happier.

I am now looking forward to selling all my nice stuff, going to Australia and having fun mooching round ikea to furnish my house. The simple life......can't wait.
Good luck with it all, I'm sure you'll find that life will be great. As long as you're realistic
