Australia - the complaints I hear of are high taxes and lack of opportunities.merlion88 wrote:Would like to hear experiences of expats who have migrated to Australia or Canada in recent times (after spending some years in Singapore) and how they feel about these countries compared to Singapore, especially kids education, lifestyle and career opportunities?
Migrate for your kids sake or return home (India?) for a cheaper retirement.merlion88 wrote:Im a PR in my early fourties, have a job that pays me over S$300k a year (the past 4 years). In a bad year it could potentially drop to S$225k. My expenses with kids in an International School, condo, travel, including income tax are S$180-200k a year. I have savings of S$2 million (including S$350k of CPF)
Id think if I lose my job, it maybe difficult to get another one in the same salary range in Singapore, in which case I'd need to move back to India.
What would you do if you were in my position? go with the flow and move back if things go wrong? or apply for a PR and move to Australia or Canada in the next few years, where I can easily afford to buy a house and a few cars upfront, take a back seat on my job and career though (it would be difficult to find a job there too perhaps a 50k variety), have my kids grow up in a more developed country set up (with its pluses and minuses), access to good school and college education, and possibly some level of retirement and medical benefits in my old age?
Would be nice to have your views.
