Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Found it at last, lol People on PIO keep asking about, pay and the cost of living, I found this graph from 2009 I know it's out of date, but in that time wages in Australia have gone up about 12% and in the UK about 3%. The overall totals at the bottom work out at about $2.35 to £1, but it will be higher now probably at least $2.4 to £1. I will look for a more up to date one.

You would struggle to live in Perth on these wages. The only one I see liveable is the mining wages. If it is correct that the average mortgage is over $300,000 then I worry about this place. You need to be on $100,000 to have a average lifestyle in Perth nowadays. Its so much harder to have double incomes out here as well. The distances are just not worth it whilst trying to pick the kids up and still come out at the end of the week with enough money to pay the bills.

We all have different standards. Just a correction - beach facing concrete mansion. Your right about the small garden. We just have a large pool. Mate.

Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I put the figures on to show the average wages in Australia, obviously some are lower than others, just like here in the UK. I think most families have to have both parents working these days to have a decent quality of life, if only one parent works and i know this happens, then you will struggle in both countries, unless you earn close to £40k in the UK and $100k in Australia.
