Deciding to move to Australia

hi, not sure if may existing thread nang ganito (i can't find any) but wanted to ask you guys what made you finally decide to pursue moving to Australia.

i already decided na mag migrate to Aus (with my wife and my baby) a few months ago pra masecure financially ung retirement namin ng wife ko and para maganda ung kalalakihan ng baby namin pero recently nafi-feel ko na sobrang mami-miss ko ung family na iiwanan ko dito (parents, siblings, cousins, etc). hindi naman ako sobrang close sa kanila since sa ibang house na ko nakatira pero pag me mga events at gatherings (e.g. fiesta, birthday, xmas, new year) nagpupunta kami at nakakalungkot isipin na mami-miss ko na ung mga ganun.

although sinasabi ko din sa sarili ko na mas matutulungan ko din ung family (parents, siblings, etc) ko dito sa pinas financially (especially if may malalaking gastos like hospital emergencies) pero may point ba un kung hindi mo din naman sila nakakasama.

okay naman ung work namin ng wife ko dito. stable ung job at above average naman ung salary although sobrang stressful lang kaya baka makakuha din sana ako ng okay na work sa Aus na hindi ganun ka stressful. Ayun lng baka hindi malaki maipon namin for retirement pag nag stay lang kami dito.

let me know your thoughts. >_<

    Hi @xter, that's indeed a tough decision to make, given na hindi lahat ng tao sa pinas nakak kuha ng ganyang sweldo. (im assuming na nasapinas ka nagwowork tama ba?) We had the same dilema but sa case namin from SG to AU. paumanhin po sa iba, tingin ko considered malaki ang sweldo ko rin sa SG + si misis rin. Averaging 18k a month combined income kame and we stayed in SG for 15yrs. Safe, magandang process, convenient sa lahat (like buying things, travelling). Kaya lang ang end goal kasi namin is retirement. Maganda ang AU like others says, pang family talaga, kasi sinusuportahan ng Government and mga tao, lalu na ang support sa family. Na mention mo na iiwanan mo ang family mo? It would still be better kung dalin mo sila kung possible. kasi nakakalungkot ang magisa sa AU, hindi maibabalik ang time na nawala for family. especially for your kids. baka mamiss mo ang oras na dapat kasama mo sila habang sila ay bata pa. weigh everything but my advise is dalin mo sila sa abot ng makakaya mo. Good luck!

    @opensourceemis i've corrected my post kasi dadalin ko talaga ung wife and baby ko. ung mga parents, siblings, cousins lang ung mami-miss ko pag umalis ako.

    pero thanks sa mga inputs mo. mukhang okay na pala lahat sa SG sa case mo in terms of salary, convenience, etc. bakit mo pa naisipan lumipat sa AU?
