Racism is always there but you got to live with it.

buying properties in certain countries is not profitable.. and also she n her bf just decided to settle down for now in sydney... previously considering melbourne.. probably will buy after marriage

4mill house vs the rent she pays... damn worth it mang
there earn peanuts also kena tax gao gao... if you work at mcds also around 36k already... so 6 figures is not susprising

well, probably she have not seen the other side of parking the taxes she paid to property..ask accounting people, you will know. rolleyes.gif

yeah, thats the nature of tax, but you can file tax return to get it back. Tax already taken 40% off her 6 fig salary....

the agree point is yes, cost are high here...as in the expenditure. If you know where to find bargain, there is waysss to beat the expenditure down.

Guys, I have just been granted an 18 months temp visa to Aus and Im planning to head over there sometime next year. At the same time im also trying to get a PR first just to be safe.

I wouldn't mind doing some general labor as a start to familiarize myself with the culture there. However, I couldn't help but to worry on the possibility of landing a job as I have heard many stories of local grads that eventually had to return home after completing their studies..
