Mate We Have Been Here Near On 5 Months And We Started With $$$ As Soon As Three Weeks, Yes We Thought Wow Its All Cheap Here But Reality Is, When You Are Paid In $$$$ You Have To Live In $$$ Or The ££££ You Bring Or Have Will Go Very Quickly. Anyway You Dont Need Lots Of Purchases Here Its Not Like Back In The Uk, Where Its Keeping Up With The Jonses!! The Life Style You Can Never Convert So Money Is A Non Motivator

We tried hard to forget the Pound and work in $$'s quickly.Otherwise things do seem cheap here.
It is fun now and again to work back to the Pound but if you are earning $$'s - you spend in $$'s!!
You only bring out your money and exchange it into $$'s once!!
