Cost of living is at least double in Sydney compared to say DC and it's only getting worse. Electricity bills are going up 25% in the next 2 months. No, I'm not kidding. Adelaide is still expensive compared to the US but cheaper than Sydney. Food and grocery prices will leave you speechless
If you have any ideas about having kids or buying property, choose because you won't be able to do both.
I feel like I get bent over daily, here. So I'm voting with my feet....
