If she was 36 with...

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

The surgeon gave me a written quote for $3000. The health fund would cover $350 of that which meant there was a gap of $2650 which I was expected to pay. After many calls and internet research I...

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

Having lived 2010 in the UK and 2011 in Oz my personal situation is such that COL in Oz is cheaper for me because I got a nice little pay rise to come and work in Oz (same company). I've since found...

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

That's a very broad, sweeping, piece of advice. I know plenty of IT peops including myself who are doing it financially far better in Oz. I guess we are in the case by case basis.:thumbup:

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

yep $166 and not quite a shoe box but certainly no McMansion in the 'burbs. House is about 100 years old and there is no insulation. Perhaps you need to have a little word with your supplier.

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living

No I paid $166 for the quarter and I've had an electric heater on for the past month. It's winter in Oz now and believe it or not some places do get a tad chilly in the evening.

Contray to the belief of the Turban Explorer I can save a lot more at the end of each month in Sydney than I could in London - that's why I moved.
