Hi,

 

I don't think I have met anyone who earns over $100k here in QLD! I must be moving in the wrong circles. Maybe you need $150k a year to get by in Sydney, like you need a larger salary to live in London.

 

However, all you have to do is look at the salary for jobs advertised in Australia. Maybe try

 

SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site

 

11 million people live here doing jobs, just like the 60 million in the UK- they sell cars, drive ambulances, build houses, works in banks, bakers, shops, the trades etc. They all survive here in Oz and they aren't leaving in droves, so you must be able to survive!

 

We are a family of 5, paying rent that is twice what my mortgage was in the UK, running twice the amount of cars, working in the health service at 2 bands lower than in England and surviving ok. And the wife's given up her 2 days a week job. We don't have as much left over as we did in the UK, but then again we don't need to spend loads to cheer ourselves up lol.

 

If you need a massive new McHouse, 2 brand new cars, kids in private schools, and top dollar health insurance, you need to earn more, obviously.

 

here are some links/info, that may be helpful:

 

 

Average Weekly Earnings, Australia, Nov 2010-

Source

Australian Bureau of Statistics

 

Full-time adult ordinary time earnings $1272.50

 

=$66170 a year.

 

 

Take home pay calculator:

Income Tax Calculator

 

As pointed out, salary sacrifice is available which means in a nutshell, you don't pay any tax on earnings that you spend on mortgages/car loans/ and loads of other stuff.

 

 

PS- I picked up a bottle of Islay single malt the other day at $65 which isn't too bad.

We are a family of five and went through over six months trying to survive on such a wage.........it's not enough!!!We had some centerlink payments on top of it and it was still a tight squeeze.No 'lifestyle' on that wage,existance at best.
