We dont know if the quality of both your houses and neighborhoods is equal, its simply an invalid point. (given in average Australian houses are the biggest in teh world, both your houses had the same size?)

Sydney property prices are higher than Perth, thats another invalid point regarding the subject.

As per 81k pounds / 180k aud, you are saying London is basically 1/3 cheaper than Australia (Perth).

Should of also said house is sold but buyers messing about with completion. Going to Sydney where our oldest is working. Looking at Terrigal but other posters reckon it is to far out to comute. We have no jobs to go to, no rental sorted, no school sorted. But by the end of the month no jobs here either and a morgage to pay.
Just writing this I think no wonder I can't sleep and am feeling so stressed.
Hubby is a kiwi, we all have NZ passports so that is not a prob. But really I don't know what to do. Maybe he is having a mid-life crisis I don't know.
If someone can answer on the diabetes stuff I would be v grateful
Thanks

Dont you think we have to compare income against expenditures in both countries?:-)

I give up.

Ok give up but can you answer any of my questions pls.
Still sitting here unable to sleep with a blanket caus it's cold.
Thanks
Kaz
ps everyone else sound asleep in bed urg!

Oh well I know that I live in a nice neighbourhood here and I did in UK. Please give me some credit for not comparing a one bed flat in some dodgy area with a three bedroom house in some highly desirable area. I thought that was a given.

And my point has been througout that £80k does not equal $130k. Not really sure how many more times we need to say this before it sinks in

Is London a 1/3 more expensive than Perth? I doubt it to be honest, London is very expensive in my opinion. I am not sure where that question came from. I find cost of living much the same. But I wouldn't if I were an economic retard like you who thinks £80k is the same as $130k.

Ah well you know when to give up. I think I will now too.

What about me!!
Should I have started a new thread. New to this if I did I wrong let me know.
Just eaten left over pizza, now 6.10am and still feeling crap and now cold.

Sorry, no idea about the diabetes stuff. Anything to do with medical usually costs something here, but how much I couldn't begin to guess.

What was your question?

Hi,
Sorry it was about diabetes care for my son. Free meds for him in Uk not sure about Aus.
Been up since 3.45 am can't sleep, stressed about the move
Thanks
Kaz

Hi Babybella,
I think you should start a new thread, so that people with Aus diabetes knowledge could see it and answer you. I am afraid you have walked into someone elses gun fight here. Although entertaining, I think you are going to get lost. All the best.

and yeah, Syudney market is much higher than Perth market but Im the economic retard.

Thanks for your reply. I will start a new thread later. Going back to bed now 6.30am am now starting to feel tired and cold.
Have a lovely evening
Kaz

I think we know that Sydney is more expensive than Perth. I didn't think that was what we were discussing here. I thought we were discussing whether £80k is equivalent to $130k. And as you seem to be saying that it is, based I assume on current exchange rates, then yes, you are an economic retard.
