My wife was offered a teaching job in Australia in 1974. We talked about going over there. It was her choice totally. I could have found a job in the computer industry anywhere then. She decided she didn't want to get too far away from family. I still kick myself in the butt I didn't try to talk her into it more.

A 150k US $ car in the States becomes 250k Aus $ in Australia very quickly and then there's all the compliance crap in Australia that you guys in the States take for granted!
Still a beautiful place to visit though and it's never too late !
It's just a pity we have caught up with the rest of of the world with all the self indulgent political crap!
Apart from that and the premium we pay for everything , we are indeed still the lucky country!
