Originally from California but now Hudson county NJ

From Texas, currently living in Melbourne.

 

Myth,

 

Whats the cost of living and quality of life difference living in Melbourne compared to the states?

Costs significantly higher, but offset in full by salaries inmo.

Melbourne is like NYC cost wise, housing and beers are expensive coming from Texas.

 

Quality of life is very good - Much bigger middle class than the US. You can work in a Manhattan type neighborhood at the grocery store, and live in Manhattan here. 

Minimum wage is around $16 an hour and most people dont get out of bed for less than $20.

 

I had some Aussie friends watch this and it scared the hell out of them - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/two-american-families/

 

You can make more money at the top end in the US, but the lifestyle here is quite good.
