The only time (or thing) I would redo was my custom of buying expensive and silly cars when I should have bought assets.

Perhaps I might not have been so lazy - but still... I winged it mostly so can't complain.

Definitely and without a doubt.

Should have come here 10 years ago and snapped up an affordable property (well at least more affordable in the relative sense). Also I'd have moved to WA instead of NSW.

Yes, both financially and life styley.

UK and SA are both okay places but Australia is much better.

Yes.

My parents had the option to emigrate here in the 70s and I used to dream about what my life would have been like in Australia.

Now I think I've had the best of both worlds really.
