Renting doesnt mean she has a car, its just a temporary place to stay since she doesnt own it.

car is owned... place is rented for now, still deciding whether to buy or not... getting married soon...

Nobody should be converting salaries. U earn AUD and ure spending in AUD. Period. We're not tourists to be converting currencies. And when we talk about income, we should always refer to TAKE HOME SALARY. Ull see that it surely wont be 7X more or anything close to that unless she was earning about 2K here before she left.

talking bout gross... and she's making a managers salary back in msia... when she moved to aus, she got pushed up 2 bands above her msian paygrade.. lucky her

more than 6 figures aud, in msia not even 6 figures myr p.a.

I didnt putar anything. You clearly made a mistake. If u wanna tell stories then at least make sure its logical yea.

This is what you said:
'in msia not even 6 figures myr p.a'

Which means that she was earning max RM99,999 per annum or max RM8,333 per month. This clearly means she was a low level manager here in Malaysia.

The you said:
'lucky her more than 6 figures aud'

If more than 6 figures, that means minimum 7 figure AUD salary per annum meaning min she would be getting per month is AUD83,000.

So she jumped from earning RM 8,333 to her current salary of AUD83,000 per month. Does this make sense to you? If u are telling the truth then do provide more details like position, company, location. If not its just empty tin kosong talk.

8.3k per month low pay for u ok lor... to me is high... 3 years from fresh

6 figures aud... 1xxk, prolly mistake in my explaination

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

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....
*
well, probably that's why buying now is not on her mind... those that can afford to buy surely can afford to pay the taxes

You realize a 'room' in a $4 million 'house' actually means a boarding house with 15 rooms right? $4 million buys you mansion with an ocean view here, noone sane is going to rent out the place room by room in such a place.
*
boarding house? it is 2 bungalows joined together... 7 big rooms in total.. no ocean view, slightly out of cbd.. well, owner's family used to stay there now migrated and now the owner uses it as her vacation home... extra rooms she decided to rent out

Frankly, i dont know whats so great about a 6 figure salary in Aus. Didnt realise that getting min AUD8,333 (before taxes) was that big a deal for a 'manager'. Ive worked with Australian companies since 2004 and i know some of the manager salaries in Aus. The real mid managers earn >AUD13K.

But in this guy's case, he's probably excited because his sister was just a very low level 'manager' here in Malaysia before she moved. Typical Malaysian corporate style of giving manager posts but pay very low salaries cuz they know Malaysians love titles. I started earning a 5 figure salary here in Malaysia at the age of 28 and i wasnt even a manager and i wasnt bothered in the least.  biggrin.gif

well, to you might not be great but i am just letting ts know.. to know and to earn is 2 different thing.. if you wanna share yours to inspire ts please go ahead

well you can brag how great you are this and that and belittle others... that's up to you... dont see how is that going to help ts

I think its was your posts which were bragging. And with mistakes too.
*
bragging? didnt say it was me.. just letting ts know that live is better there than in msia

you on the other hand.. well, no point arguing.. if you wanna find fault i have no time to entertain you, doesnt contribute anything to ts

QUOTE(divine061 @ Aug 28 2014, 02:14 PM)
Sounds exactly like a boarding house. FYI, depending on which state and council, say you have 3 rooms rented out to 2 to 3 couples, you need to apply for boarding house license. If it wasn't, then it is illegal.
And there are hundreds of them in Sydney, its just not illegal until you are caught type of scenario. Once caught, you'll have 1 or 2 weeks before getting kicked out in most cases.

hmm, probably because it is still under 2 diff title? not too sure, was told it was 2 house initially..
