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.

    Netherlands for me. I’m a mechanical engineer. When I graduated, it felt like I was hitting dead ends trying to gain employment. I eventually moved to Germany where my career took off.

    These days I’m married to a Dutchwoman and have a one month old baby. Also I own my property here.

    I can’t see me moving back to Aus in the near future.
