Re: How much do I need to earn?
I would strongly refute that. Obviously certain areas differ and locations may vary due to shortage of applicants or not as the case may be, which would reflect the offering salary. Best concentrate on an area fell best/confident at working in and attempt to get into position from there. For most people, I would say the present times are hard to break into the six figure . Positions I found going for $110,000 to $120,000 a few years back have indeed gone backwards offering $20,000 or more less. Those earning reasonably money in cases I have known to have been restructured out and invited to reapply with a slightly different job title but of course at less money.
Obviously your line of work in your location is going backwards.
Try something a little different in a different location. Infrastructure projects in Melbourne or Sydney as an example. There are people changing jobs all over the place because these projects just can't find the skills therefore the projects are paying considerable increases.

You really find it hard to understand that your circumstances don't apply to all and don't apply to places outside Perth.

Re: How much do I need to earn?
If needs be I'll prune & move the argy bargy posts into a bickery place of its own but really it would be better if posters were to limit themselves to actually helping the OP if they can.
After what has happened the last two days (the wife transferring money away), that generated more questions about rights, entitlements, etc. I have a full page of notes and an appointment on Thursday morning with community legal. This might sound disparaging, but I hope they're good! My wife has a private lawyer, no doubt paid for by her parents. Just hoping private does not mean better! And I hope I qualify for more than a single meeting.
Cheers

Re: How much do I need to earn?
I looked back through posts here. Lucas_Dad asks how much does he need to earn. I haven't seen an actual answer to that one.
Forget optimum salaries & all that stuff. This chap simply needs to be back in the work place and earning. He suggested $40K I think. Is that enough? Is it realistic.
From his start point , once he is comfortable, it is then he can choose to build on that or not.

I'd agree with that wholeheartedly.
