My point is that if you're smart enough you'll make it. Only idiots who blow money like there's no tomorrow will suffer wherever they go - the only thing here in this country that saves them is Centrelink.
Its all about being smart my pa came here with nothing to now hes a millionaire investor. But many people believe it or not are living on weekly pay check and credit card debt. Not ideal. and many have zero savings also not smart. Don't just go live in Asia and retire there with limited savings. I'd never give up living here even though its expensive. Owning a property is a good start.
