The suggestion that Australia is cheaper or better value than north America is horribly flawed.
5 dollar jugs Pabs at Great Northern in whitefish Montana vs 30 dollar jugs at Byron Bay.....
Electricity that isn't over 100 bucks a month.
Gas bills that barely break 20 bucks a month.
Petrol prices at leat 30% less than Australia
And let's not even get started on how far a dollar stretch on real estate. Then add to the fact that that income tax and rates are less. Gst is less. Etc etc etc. On the same money I'd be on in Australia based in Canada, which is typically more expensive than most of the states, I've been around 2k a.month better off on the same, possibly better lifestyle than I was living put of Brisbane.
