Hi,

​

im just wanting to hear about australian expats abroad and what their motivation to leave was?

For me the obsession with housing market and home ownership is just insane.

I know other countries are like this and particular capital cities but it just seems so engrained in the culture here. What do other people think?

The live and work to get a mortgage mentality.

    Moved to Netherlands for work. Found the people I met here to live much more balanced lives and have a variety of hobbies. I now find most of my Australian friends quite boring, in that they just work and go out for meals and go to the beach.

    I think at a certain age property becomes quite a big topic, but it’s not as big in NL as in Aus.

    No plans to move back anytime soon.
