Hi all,
well we we are in a conundrum. This is our back story: I'm English, DH Aussie and our son has dual citizenship.
We have family on both sides of the world.
We live in Sydney, and both have above average paid jobs, however we still cannot afford to buy a house in a reasonable area (reasonable defined as safe, tidy and within commutable distance to our jobs)
in in order to buy in Sydney we will need to move much further out and in less reasonable areas resulting in very long commutes 1.5-2hrs each way as standard.
Or we could move somewhere completely different in Australia and find new jobs etc but we would be away from our family who live here, but would own a property.
Or we could move back to the UK and go back to our old lives and be able to buy a house and be close to the UK family.
What would you do?
