I'm stuck here due to student debt and a mental health diagnosis that at this point I have been to so many medical professionals all of them have informally agreed the diagnosis was misdiagnosed- receiving the DSP from Centrelink thanks to someone who has inadvertently saved my life several times over with helping me access the successful hoop jumping a few years ago but with severe health issues and even though I have decent enough specialist education and some stable life experience and skills- the 10K in my account that only accumulated after being inactive after attempted suicide just isn't going to dent my health costs, let alone getting out in time I have to hope and I have responsibilities but more than anything I want to rest

My wife's Filipino. She wants to stay in Australia. I want to move to her country or Malaysia or Thailand. I think I'll take my military pension at 55 (in 2 years time) and take the kids back to her family and she can stay in Australia and keep working.

Same as you I love and hate my country Philippines🇵🇭 Cuz we have the most corrupt country in the world, I love to live there but it’s just too harsh for my son’s health, he often get sick. Moved to Australia 4 yrs ago, since then no asthma. I would say we have an amazing life here in Australia. We’re not thinking of owning a house here. It’s just ridiculous for us to work and pay mortgage all of our lives.

Left australia 3 years ago to Asia, best decision I ever made. The quality of life in Asia is non comparable to Australia.

$110k pa between 2 people is not a lot of money.

I get what you are trying to say, but and there is a but... health care is a huge factor in living in Australia. If your kids or even you get sick, the level of care you would receive in most other countries is a substandard. Also the 9-5 conundrum. For decades the providing male has sacrificed his time to provide for his family. It's not a cost of living crisis that has caused this. This has always been. What we need to do is provide quality of time spent with our kids when we are with our kids. 90% of fathers work 9-5 or 8-5 or even 7-7 to try and provide and have great relationships with their children...

Come on to Thailand

If you dont love it leave. Aussies are battlers. Suck it up and get on with it.

I plan to leave once I save up, Australia is no longer my home

Take note: 1. Doing a course on Digital marketing online 2. Secondary income is a good way to increase your income

my word of advice save keep saving there and buy a cheap apartment even and rent it out and keep going from there

Amen, I am 33 and am done with Australia and once my studies are finished I will be leaving the country!

Supply and demand equals inflation. Population increasing by 50 percent very roughly in 25 years. What country can deal with that increase in demand. Certainly not Australia. Allowing the population to grow so much has rendered Australia a country for the wealthy. Regular people have been priced out by successive government’s greed for more power and more imported wealth , with no consideration for the masses. Big up to the various over paid prime minsters who feel more important now they govern 10 million more people than they did 25 years back.

I'm fighting a battle with my employer right now. They can't understand why we voted down the EBA when every week people don't come into work on Wednesday because they don't have money for petrol.

Australia is now a subsidiary of the criminal Global Sustainability Corporation.

Excessive printing of fiat currencies are killing all of us. Thanks for sharing your story

We sell our gas overseas for 50 cents and buy it back for $10.00. Then sell it too our 'wealthy' citizens who never complain, for $20.00. Did you know that? This model applies to almost all our minerals and wealth. We are Sooo DUMB. WAKE THE F UP. You are being taken for a FOOL. AND these massive conglomerate corporations pay very little tax if any. Every big business is subsidized, because without it, the country would simply collapse. We are just ONE BIG QUARRY. WITH NO MANUFACTURING BASE. ONLY STUDENTS AND PROPERTIES and MINERALS. IT'S ALL GOING SOON. YOU'LL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY - ANAL SWAB- WEF.

Groceries- min $400.00 a fortnight - conservatively regularly. 3 mouths to feed. Taxed to death. Taxed and taxed again and again. Tied up in red tape and regulations galore. Fined and penalised at every turn. Like a tethered beast you fight and struggle, only to wear yourself out and submit to defeat. Your daily grind is so boring and monotounous its insane. Tolls and fares and fuel and food all gone wild now, it's a slow vice grip on your very soul.

Taxed into oblivion and nothing to show for it. The people are too lazy and nonchalant to fight against this communist govt. If you took Centrelink off the agenda, poverty would skyrocket and quality of life would crash - fact.

Such a good video. People living through it often don't see the full context, so here is one perspective on what's happened to our country these last thirty some years. I first went travelling when I was seventeen, and since then I've spent as much time out of Australia as in it. So, I get these snapshots every couple of years or so. The paradise I was raised in began to change in the '90s. I'd come back home after a couple of years away; culture change. How to say it? Less freedom, more rules. Like the frog in the water coming to boil, folk never really noticed. But even as I grew more frustrated with the way the place was being governed, there was always one thing I could tell people overseas: It may be a nanny state, but people there are prosperous. Teachers, nurses and hairdressers all doing fine. That was still true in 2010, but I wondered how long it could last. The storm was gathering right? With the government bought and paid for, the attack on Australian working people was well overdue. Sure, wages stopped keeping pace with profits back in the '80s, but it remained the lucky country. But the rent share of income grew and grew, taking a good part of our people's prosperity. In my view, visiting every couple of years, the pressure only really began to show in people's concerns around 2017 or 18, but I could still tell people overseas that ordinary Australians were prosperous. Then, I went away again and it fell off a cliff. The post covid price increase opportunity (aka inflation), with no commensurate salary increase, suddenly combined with now extortionate property / rentals so that I saw a very different country the last time I went home, in 2023. Everyone who sees this video knows what I mean so no need for me to characterise it beyond saying that, for the first time in my life, the population as a whole seems under severe economic stress. I said all that to say this. It was a thirty to forty year process of erosion. You guys may look foward to things getting better, so it could make sense to move back and reside there again. I ain't holding my breath.

Everything here is 100% true and well said 😃 Permanently left Australia last March 2024 😎

I think that is called "The great reset", and I guess it is working.

There are good and bad aspects

Love it or leave it 🇦🇺

We earned three times what you earned. Gave it all up because we didn’t want the vax for ourselves or our kids. We gave everything away and took nothing with us. Overseas you can love on the rent from one house. Met so many Aussie families spending three months at a time in different countries thanks to Wizz air. Freedom is more important than money.

I've been here for 10 years, I moved from Scotland. I came as a couple, but now im a single man. It's all I can do to pay the bills each week. It's impossible to save any, and it really worries me for later in life when I'm no longer able to work a physical job.

You never enjoy your life in there.work,work,and die.you don't get any thing wgen you die.

Another big problem is the medical system we have in Australia. All the operations take too long to wait for, so we end up going to private hospitals in Malaysia. It's so cheap, and they can perform the surgery that same night! In Australia, you have to wait six months! You were lucky to leave early before the interest rates increased too high! It feels like we are working just for the bank. Every $500,000 in loans means an extra $350 per week out of pocket! If you are granted your second home visa, you should buy family medical insurance in Malaysia! It costs only $250 per month for the whole family! Malaysian petrol is the second cheapest in Asia, and all the activities for kids are much, much cheaper as well! Plus, it's an English-speaking country, unlike Thailand, where communication can be difficult. Thailand is great for single people, but Malaysia is a great place for families. Apartments there only cost around RM 800,000, with all facilities included. The second home visa also allows parents to live in Malaysia, and you can easily hire workers to take care of them

i feel you bro

Feel for you mate. You are a good father. I have lived in Western Australia for 20 years. It is a communist country where you have very few "government-given" rights. People don't understand the central banking system; it's collapsing. They sold our bodies to big pharma but the beaches are nice and it's always sunny. Will pray for you and your family. 😁👍

You’ll end up back where you were for sure! Great video I think you made the right choice. Me and my partner are on a combined $280k and though we have a comfortable life it’s still not enough to really get ahead anymore.

Who enjoyed your tax money?

Australia is ok if you’re single. Otherwise everything is taxed by the time u spend your pay it’s been taxed to the max.

Ok but what about the local people living in those South Asian countries? Are they also happy with the cost of living there? Or you’re happy because you’re still spending the Australian dollar there?🤔

yourfriendsommi channel might be the last chance for this generation of young aussies

Australia is a beautiful country but it is one of the most expensive and also very boring...no culture or nightlife...its like a big retirement village...it was worth it when the cost of living was low but not anymore...there's no quality of life or family time...I am moving back to Europe...much cheaper and way more exciting.

My brother in-law and my sister moved to Perth last year because of a good job offer.. for 8 months they stayed there in CBD area. They were so looking forward to the idea of a better life there. And now, they are desperate to return home because of the high cost of living over there. They will return early next year. I guess the grass isnt greener on the other side. Even i had a job offer there but i declined to accept. I love Malaysia and all it has to offer. Truly its a paradise. Sorry, Australia sucks.

The true rat race. Its going to get more crazy here. The rich people internationally will come more and more

in my 20s lived here my whole life, middle eastern ethnicity. growing up in Aus was great up until the 2010s things started to go south. Wokeism, tax, corruption, police state, lack of accountability from officials and regulations, appauling real estate, tax, and tax again in so many fields and industries. Not to mention the standards are dropping here in Melbourne atleast. Time to change countries, lifes short, have to have the foresight from now and take action.

So I feel why no one want to change the greedy corrupt government?

Tbh, $110k yearly salary between 2 people isn’t a lot..

Blame the monetary fun in USA.

Malaysia is so hot you need to spend more on electric bill 😅

I live in coastal South Australia. Always paid myself first, invested & lived within my means.Debt free & LOVE my country.

I hear the same stories from Americans, Canadian, British, and some Europeans. It makes me wonder why the West is in such a disarray. Is this part of woke great reset. Where we will not own anything and be happy (Schwab Klaus). So sad to see it and not be able to do anything about it. All I know is that running is not the answer.

Couldn't agree more, bro It's a bitter reality .

Lucky country I don't think so

You sound like a whingeing Pom bye don’t come back now you’re here

Hope people realise that, the socialist marxist communist left ideologies are working to enslave them and brainwash their children. And handing the country to a group that, blaming you of your faith and whiteness. And filling up with people from Africa South America and Middle East. There is no way to run as the whole world will collapse. It’s a spiritual warfare between God and satan and going to affect every humans on earth. You see 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺🇨🇦 these nations and also Europeans let go off everything that was good and was GOD’s and replaced with evils which we can’t even look at.

We got out of Melbourne in 2021 and settled in Adelaide. We love this city. I think it’s Melb and Syd that are breaking people. I could never live in S/E Asia as you are due to the climate up there. The humidity would break me. But you have to do what you feel is best, I get that.
