Paul1Perth Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Really I have a thread going about designer jeans ? I don't own any jeans at all so that I'd like to see A quote from your other thread about "the truth about how expensive Perth is" "the clothes over here are just ridiculous a pair of jeans was $90" Another of your outrageous statements. Quite a few people on here commented that you can buy jeans for $15 here. You won't care though if you don't own any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the poster was a genuine member in need then the thread would have been closed a long time a go, however, this person is not who they say they are or pretend to be and if they want to come on a forum and troll as well as asking for opinions then they have to expect people to retaliate.

People who are moving over here will take one look at her OP and think that they cannot survive out here if their wage isn't 20% over $220k per year, and that they to will be going to bed hungry which I am sorry is utterly ridiculous and the FACTS do need pointing out.

This is very true. We all know how stressful and scary moving your life overseas can be and stuff like this (which let's face it, it pure fiction) can be very damaging. I am just curious as to the motives behind this. I mean, could you be arsed to go to so much trouble? Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieF8 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Explain why the sums don't add up then.... Wages - Taxes - Rent - Food = $1,700 a week left ( before your pay rise ) Yet you claim to be starving to death That's the one no-one can work out :err: And why you have a load of food in a morning to make breakfast, but nothing to snack on before bed Edited August 29, 2012 by StevieF8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Being scared of the cost of living....yes it may seem expensive but in relation to wages it's all relative....the cost of living in Perth isn't a grocery bill of $700 a week...now that's just scaremongering....my food bill is no more than $250 pw for 5 and 2 dogs and we all go to bed at night not hungry...well the dogs might claim they do as they have hollow legs!!

PomPrincesses Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) At no point did I say we didn't have the means to go and buy more food if we cut the budget elsewhere. But having bought food one day and spent a substantial amount of money you don't expect to have to dash out the following morning and pick up even more supplies. Reading this forum before we came out I'd budgeted $500 a week. That in my experience is unrealistic, now you cAn argue all you like but my experience is my experience so there's nothing you can do to change that. I accept that others will have different experiences what I don't do is call them obese or thick or tell them they are bad parents or call them liars. well I did call one person thick but they deserved it.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 My eldest child got stuck in the uk for 7 weeks whilst we dealt with immigration those amature sherlock Holmes who really want to comb the site for my previous posts would have seen that discussion but no only the ones that suit are dug up. We have 4 kids and the MIL now at the time of posting there were 5 of us.My field is medical I don't claim to be a dr or a nurs, medical is a pretty wide range. There are other quotes re jeans that simply aren't mine. As for others coming out and being scared of the cost of living. GOOD it might save somebody the misery we went through in the first few weeks. Very strange a few days ago you were a recruitment consultant in oil etc and had been for 15 yrs. I would stick to the same story on each forum you visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieF8 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't care how you shop, either spending $100 a day, $350 half way through the week, or $700 in one go NO-ONE who spends that much on food in Oz 'Goes to bed hungry' NO-ONE! and if you have to "dash out in the morning to buy supplies", then perhaps you should develop some planning skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that this thread has gone on for 40+ pages I am yet to see 1 person agree with you that $700 on food leaves you hungry... If I was using this thread as a review on prices, then your opinion seems to be the exception and not the rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was using this thread as a review on prices, then your opinion seems to be the exception and not the rule And with that said I think we can now close the thread. Anyone moving over from the UK please take this thread with a huge pinch of salt, if you are earning $220k a year you will live quite comfortably and you WILL NOT go to bed hungry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
