Current Events > So Australia is the place to be if you want to save money, uh

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have been living in Bali for four months now and I have met so many people that are travelling through the southeast with money saved from farm work in Australia. Most of them told me it is hard work, sometimes you get depressed but in the end of the year you can save a load of money. I have been told how much I can make per hour but I don't quite remember, I just know its a lot.

Im hesitating wether I should move there or not.

Thoughts?

I live in Perth
I don't know anyone that does farm work
living here is pretty expensive though

how long are you planning to stay?

Well, you can make a shitload, the only problem is saving considering everything costs so much.

I guess if you live out from the city nearer the bush you can pay less rent and utilities.

Australia has the 2nd highest minimum wage in the world, you can save boatloads if your smart or stingy.

you dont have to pay $20k to call an ambulance here
almost all medical treatment you receive here is extremely cheap or free

australia is an amazing country in a lot of areas, there are a few areas which suck such as internet speed, our government is a circus, etc
but if you are just planning to live a nice peaceful life, australia is one of the best countries in the world for that

yeah a great deal of people in new zealand piss of over to aussie because its RIGHT next door and make a great deal of cash then come back because jobs in nz are pretty shit compared to there. or they just stay. smart lads, it's honestly an option for me too tbh. but nah it's sorta becoming a problem for both countries now so I hope they start trying to (or keep trying to) tighten shit up around that.
