RM30k you can live decently with 4 maids....i mean 1 maid

Depends on your priorities and yr objective in life.

No employer will just give u 30K for nothing.

RM30k/month could mean no work life balance.
RM30k/month could mean non stop karaoke and makan - detrimental to health
RM30k/month could mean no time with wifu or kiddies

Being in Oz
- become poor FINANCIALLY
- become rich in health, family relationships

Which one u want.

Hard to believe I've already worked and stayed here for a year.

Which city r u in? Was it easy for u 2 get a job n settle down?

health and relationships need money... if pay too low, you can't sustain as well... that's why my dilemma

Reason why i can't move. Aus only offers me a little more but with high taxes!

So i have to take the plunge and send me kids to Aussie Universities.

I live in Melbourne. I was lucky enough to get a job within 3 weeks and settled in.
Still renting though. Even auctioned houses are going for really extravagant prices here.

Its funny that friends back home seem to think its more affordable to buy property here in Oz. Buying a car here is cheap but property is way harder to get here than back in bolehland.

auction in Aussie is just a method of selling a property, its not like the owner defaulted on loan or something, right?

one can get a house/unit with around 3000-4000sf landsize 2 bed 2 baths with a garage for around AUD600-660k and around 20km East from Melbourne CBD is quite a good deal no? can get that kind of price and that kind of size in PJ for instance?

my case... its either my kid moves alone in future... or we move as a family now...

Best to move as a family. Provided you are still young!

i have already established my career in Malaysia. So can't move now. So the kids will go.

I second that! Move with your family. The kids development need both father & mother together!

I used to work in Vietnam few months back and my household income was about USD7k. I gave up that and migrate to aus together with my kids. I'm still looking for opportunity in aus after spending 1.5 months here.

Understand job market is not so good in Aus at the moment.

However, good luck with your migration!

which field are you in bro?

Haha I really feel the pinch of the tax system now. Pay increment is like nothing after paying tax.

exactly in the middle, mid life crisis

my career is ok, my wife is also doing pretty good, thus the reluctance of stepping out of the comfort zone

Think that the property in Perth is still pretty reasonable as you are able to get a 3br2bath for around 400k @ 10km east of perh cbd.
