Re: Why you need a $100K a year to live in Sydney
But I didn't... I spent my hard money, and sacrificed my life to bricks and timber, and now, where am I...
Living in an area with a median house price of $462,000, and fully owning a $600k house
Oh.. and retiring at 55 
Looking back, should I have spent my money on holidays and booze instead ?
hmmmm.. I wonder

I could have done that when I was younger, and I could still be renting now.

I could ask if you knew them, but as the guy is called John Jones (seriously !) it probably wouldn't narrow it down much.

We did love it in Mach. TheOriginalMrDreamy was an electrical engineer for Manweb - we always knew if some cow had been rubbing against a pylon cos the locals thought nothing of giving us a knock in the middle of the night to tell us their leccy was off
Be-yeaut-iful part of the world.

).I've been lucky and can't complain my wage, but some of the stats about averages here in Sydney are a bit surprising, although as I mentioned above property costs make a huge difference.

Re: Why you need a $100K a year to live in Sydney
Well considering I earn just $63k I am doing quite comfortably. I dont have a mortgage or a car, and have still had 4 international holidays in the last 3 years, as well as about 10 domestic short trips.
I have a nice place close to the train on express services, have plenty of food, paying the electricity, phone/internet and rent is never an issue and I can still afford nice luxuries like a good laptop and good clothes.
I think most of these people think they are entitled to gold plated, jewel encrusted houses and cars.
