Hi everyone, We are a family of 4 coming to Sydney in January and wonder if anyone can shed some light on what is a decent amount of household income needed when living in western sydney. We have scoured the forums etc to try to research this but have now ended up more confused! My husband has been offered a salary of $85, 000 with $15, 000 car allowance plus super, i will also be working full time earning around $65, 000. Are these salaries livable for sydney and the living costs of a family with two children. We will be on a 457 visa when we first get there but are in the process of applying for PR, so we know we will have school fees for our one school age child. Some people seem to say that you need to be earning way over $100k to be comfortable while other people say you can live happily on $60k?...... the more i read the more confused i get!!:huh:
