  • OK Aussies, helping time!

    So my SO got a job he'd been applying for in Sydney.

    So now my question is: who lives in NSW, what should I expect and how the hell do you survive on 50k p/a? (if possible!)

    ok, I'm a bit further south, but on that salary, won't be looking at a very big apartment, or that close to the CBD, so learning how the public transport system works would probably be a good idea

    EDIT: investing in a map is probably a good idea too, the city is a rabbit warren of streets

      Considering you're "down under", that must be an even more derogatory remark about the competence of whoever laid out the streets than it is here.

        His salary will be 53k over there. (and for a couple of weeks, he'll be supporting two people on that) we don't need a large apartment as it'll just be the two of us.

        Were opting to skip having our cars (both of us) and relying on public transport to get around. In my case, we may look at getting a car further down the track for work, but I'm aiming for working at no more than 2 different schools over there, as opposed to the 4-5 I work at now.

        I will definitely be investing in a street directory, as will he.


        Anything else I need to be aware of in the NSW area? His job is in surrey hills (I believe).
