    Goodbye Australia - I'm Leaving.

    AUD/USD is 86 cents.

    Australia is officially 30% more expensive to live in than USA.

    I'm not waiting til the dollar 1:1 like it was back in the 70s/80s.

    Time to Jet!

                          it's definately cheaper living stateside
                          except the cell phones - they KILL you with cell phone charges here - its the ONE thing i truly miss about home.

                          Where are you heading Doot?

                              I think he's talking about the central american push to unify like the Eu did - they wanna merge central american countries and have one currency also.

                              if - i should say WHEN that happens.. the USD is screwed

                                  Cell phone charges??? My US cell experience has been extremely cheap compared to home...

                                  US phone: 39/month (USD) for 1000 min, free txt, im etc
                                  AU phone: ~65/month (USD), 35c/min + flag, unlimited free sms/mms

                                  I'll head to the highest bidder, lol ... recommendations?

                                                      There's no doubt that the USD sucks but instead of going to the expense of moving overseas just look around you right here in Oz - there's plenty of work to be picked up here by anyone who can design a decent website - hell most of us could do it blind drunk and still run rings around those who claim to be professionals in Australia.

                                                          Yep - it's got to stop! We are gaining in sales and traffic but declining in earnings because of this USD.

                                                          When George W is gone and the USA stop pissing money into the wind in Iraq then hopefully it will bounce back.

                                                              Our Australian business is doing just fine since it's all in AUD anyway but when you've got tens of thousands of dollars coming in from USA every week.... every cent the dollar increases in value is literally thousands that comes off the bottom line.

                                                              Plus, USA has Dr Pepper and cheap cars!

                                                                                                                                          Australia is officially 30% more expensive to live in than USA.

                                                                                                                                          I'm not waiting til the dollar 1:1 like it was back in the 70s/80s.

                                                                                                                                          Time to Jet!

                                                                                                                                          I am in the US several times a year and it, compared to Sydney, seems real cheap. Exchange rate, the costs and the tax rate and I cant go home except for a holiday.... thats sad.

                                                                                                                                          Sydney is still beautiful and nothing beats lunch at Doyles but when the shittiest Chinatown eatery (That does great food) called BBQ King is $100 plus for a decent feed then insanity wins.

I so hope it doens't get there. On the flip side those big domain sales are looking a lot more affordable!
