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.

    Currently in Aus but plan to leave in the next 3-4 years (ironically when we’ve paid off our apartment, so I completely agree with you with the property obsession haha).

    We like Melbourne but it’s just too small and too far away. If it was a 4 hour flight from Europe we probably wouldn’t leave but it’s so isolated which is reflected in the attuites and opportunities here. It’s a slow, comfortable life but we just want a bit more than that.
