And now you're in that post-Euro mood, thinking about how cheap the cars were, how backwards this country is, and how embarrassingly stupid most of your friends actually are.

 

Yeah, I know this feeling

I'm in Germany at the moment, jus been through the uk and Japan, off to Austria, Italy and then the US.... Amen to that shady although I'm not back. And my mates aren't stupid, but what astounds me is that EVERYTHING is expensive in Australia.... Food, beer, cars, rent, houses. I'm buying pints at Half the price even with the exchange rate!

Yeah dude... We're pretty much the most expensive place to live on this planet.

[Trev]

But isn't the average pay over in euro countries half of what we get here?

[7shades]

Nope.

 

We're right in the middle of the 'average wage' spectrum, but everything costs more to buy here.

 

We have the most expensive real estate, cars, groceries, the lot.

The joys of being an island in the middle of BF nowhere perhaps?

[7shades]

In a nutshell: A really big island with not many people on it. Costs a lot of money (per capita) to keep the place running.

I think we earn quite well, yes. I listened to two blokes in suit and ties in the middle of Westminster talk about how one got a Patrice from 38k to 40k. That's 61k Australian, which is below our median income of 73k. Not half perhaps, but less.

 

Here's an indicator.

the food is better, the women are hotter, the cars are faster and the architecture, culture and way of life is better in my opinion, i thought we were well off
