Hi everyone
Just joined the forum and it looks very helpful and friendly so thought I would ask a couple of questions and maybe get some feedback off you guys.
it has been my dream to live in Australia for as long as I can remember, I have been there before and loved it so I'm not shooting in the dark or wet behind the ears so asking more to do with the enjoyment and lifestyle elements of living there.
I have been offered a job in NSW Victoria area and my wage is AU$28 which I think is about £16 an hour which is the same I get in the UK BUT the cost of living in OZ seems a lot more expensive with everything from food to vehicles.
Is the salary on par with living expenses?
Do you pay for medical?
Do you have to put your vehicle through MOT every year?
I will be renting and coming out with No funds as not got a house or anything in UK to sell so adding this to my outgoings too(+/- AU$300 a week)
what is your average weekly bill for single person shopping/water/electric ...
I know and accept the fact that moving and living in OZ is more about the lifestyle and standard of living and enjoying life is more what its about than money but I would like to not scrimp and save but live moderately.
So should I stay or should I go? am I being a fool and wanting to live the dream or should I stay and live what I am used to?:skeptical:
Answers, advice, hints and tips welcome
Thank You
