Or if you are me much more money for far fewer hours of work so that the other costs don't matter at all because they are insignificant.

That's the same for me in Australia, so agree, all the rest is details.

No they use a list (usually from the menu bar of the advanced editor). This puts the following codes into the text.

[ LIST ]
[ * ]one
[ * ]two
[ /LIST ]

without the spaces.

It all comes down to where you can make the money after all if you have to work you may as well make as much as you can. I get the short straw and have to do it in the UK but it is for much much more money. Australia is looking more like the retirement option these days. But that's more about the working culture in Australia than the cost of living.

Lightbulb Re: This has to hurt?

An analysis of living standards conducted by Australian National University and published in the Herald Sun showed almost everybody - including low-income earners - are better off than they were a year ago.

That's because wages and social welfare payments have outstripped price rises, borne out by the simple equation that wages grew by 4 per cent in the past year, while inflation was closer to 3 per cent.
