Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

Nowadays you would and yet people don't mention it. Whereas 5/6 years ago it was the rage to tell people it was financial suicide. It's a funny old world. :thumbup:

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

You don't hear people saying it's financial suicide to sell one's UK house when you move here. That was all the rage about 5 years ago. What happened? :unsure:

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living
