Hi,

Yes and no! The negative views did take the shine off it a bit I suppose but the biggest factor is the wages. My husband would only earn half of what he's getting in the UK. We are a large family (4 kids) and we would struggle financially on the wages on offer. We have a nice lifestyle here and are lucky to have a big house and a swimming pool (we bought at the right time, over 4 years ago, when property prices were relatively cheap). In OZ we would not be able to afford the same as we already have and would have to downsize to a 3 bedroom house, which for us is too small.

If we'd decided to do this when we only had a couple of kids then I think things would have been different.

Regards,

Caroline.
