aussie equivalent of money saving expert website
Hi I hope everybody is well
As I am one of the fools taking my family to the other side of the world for a big real terms pay cut and a shocking exchange rate, I am going to have to nail the family budget to the floor and try and dig a life out of nothing again. Sooo, is there a Martin Lewis smith Aussie equivalent with an accompanying misers website and forum? This is a serious question so I can have a scout around and save as much as possible early days so e can bring as little money over as possible given the derisory exchange rate Thanks in advance for your replys |
Re: aussie equivalent of money saving expert website
I totally understand the comment about the exchange rate and the fact it is currently unfavourable but I dont get the pay cut comment as virtually every job I have looked at appears more lucrative than the UK, unless you are factoring in the higher cost of living.......
I know what it costs to live in the UK and I know what I can expect to earn, In Oz my earning power roughly triples so unless the cost of living is 3 times higher than home I should be better off Sorry but I dont know of any such "money saving" type websites |
Re: aussie equivalent of money saving expert website
I can't help with the website either. Perhaps google can help.
Why would one come to Oz for a pay cut. Did someone lure a 'lifestyle is better' carrot? |

Bad exchange rate, what ! You still get $1.50 for your £1.

Re: aussie equivalent of money saving expert website
There's no compare the market type sites at all??
My friend is a web developer etc who moved to Oz last year. Sold his web hosting company in the UK for several millions (the git). Maybe I should get him to look at this path!! We could have the Meerkats in Oz!! Haha!! |

Don;t listen to the doom-sayers mate, it's all worth it. Good luck.

FFS, well obviously. I'm just trying to redress the balance a bit. It's getting a bit like Poms in oz around here. 10 negative posts to every positive one and then a reminder after a positive post that it's not like that for everyone.
RinkerDink, I think most people that made it work are too busy enjoying their life now to bother posting anything useful on a forum where they're outnumbered by these people. |

Thanks for the replys it seems The sifting on here may have to continue but its a shame because I love over investigating everything before I sign up to or buy anything, perhaps a less anal approach will be the order of the day down under. |

Thanks, that realisation dawned on me some time ago. It does take a bit of sifting but there are always some good valuable responses, as a qualifier before the patronisation squad descend I do realise its not the land of milk and honey and do take on board the less positive posts but I take as large a pinch of salt with the good ones as the bad!
