<blockquote rel="therealaids">Wow it's nice to know that the thread I created last 2013 is still alive π I would say Australia is really a great place for family. If you are Single nothing beats Singapore when it comes to savings! I can still recall my tax there was really just a pinch of salt compared here in Australia. Ang bilis mag ipon sa SG. hehehe</blockquote>
Thing is ganito - sa Singapore kasi because we have this mentality na very low tax, very cheap food, very cheap to travel abroad (kahit mag Europe kaya at least every 2 years) - we tend to overspend...
Now enter Melbourne in 2013 - we arrived here na may baon but walang work. As we don't want to dip into our savings, we learnt how to save like cook our own meals, buy only when special, etc...
Did we save more here or in Singapore? I think so... π
But life is good here! But as I have said many times, I still miss Singapore. I am more at home there than in Pinas.
