[QUOTE="hawkeye92, post: 626846, member: 26083"] Australia is great, but very expensive. I don't know Neil, but I bet Bob does. Sydney is over 4 million in population and it's getting worse. I came here on a working visa, established permanant residency (2 years), then became a citizen, dual now. UPS drivers here are very few and only drive vans. What a crock! Not enough business door to door here to get any bigger. We are like a third world country in many ways. I need my Thrift Plan money so I can afford to live here longer. Cars are twice as expensive here, Levis jeans are $165, Timex Triathalon watches-$150.00, car insurance averages $800-$1,500 a year. My rent on a 2 bedroom, 1 bath townhouse is $2,000 per month. Home prices in over 100 suburbs of Sydney average over $1 million. Minimum wage is $17.00 and hour though, most earn around 25-35,000 per year. Not great! It's cheaper to retire in the US. That's where I'll be headed when I retire. Talked to long here. Thanks for the support and if any one can recommend an attorney that does a good job, I'm open. [/QUOTE]
