I have a friend who moved in SWISS 14 years ago,he was poor here,had nothing and moved with his mom...he started working as a baker there (was just 18 at the time) and i think he earned around 3 000 swiss francs which is now like 3500$ (in couple years the swiss franc jumped like never before,it was the only stable valut and then the worth almost doubled)...so with that kind of money ok you will say this is nothing but he bought an appartament,a car...he is not a type that loves some fency clothes,fency cars...hes a guy who was really poor and the funny thing is he enjoy simple thing as buying a pizza and coca cola,just simple things!so the quality of life there where he lives in BASEL is pretty good!
also i read and heard people saying that in australia,if you are smart and dont waste the money,you can earn a lot just with basic labor work...
tell me your story

if you work hard for 10 years as a labourer and spend you money wisely you can live well off in sydney
if you work hard and take your money overseas like arabs, indians, asians, irish and blacks you can live in luxury

Hahaha yes...succinct and directly to the point! ;D

what a load of bullshit.
average ordinary earnings for an adult, $1300..thats before tax, so you are left with about $1000.
state's average house price:
(http://www.livingin-australia.com/images/housepricesapr2012.png)
mortgages on these are between $2500 and $4500 per month..or $600-$1100 per week.
doesnt take a rhodes scholar to work out that its pretty hard to live when 60-90% of your take home pay is spent on housing alone..
-
compare to the US which has average of about $50k and house average of $150k..
i.e. 3:1 ratio.
Australia has about 6:1 overall...
thats the difference between owning a house in 15 years versus 30...

Worked 2 years in Australia, 8 months on a water pipeline in queensland, I was the lowest paid worker on that crew (laborer) but still cleared
1600$ after tax every week, the operators (excavater, dumptruck, etc) were taking home 2200$, great job, good laugh but long hours and you might not see anybody except the people in your crew from one week to the next, lot of lads end up fighting with each other or when they have some free
time go crazy with drugs and prostitutes, there was an engineer started with us one time, he only lasted a week, he did nt gel with the crew, it dosen t matter how good you are or your qualifications, bottom line if you dont get along with the foreman, leading hand, your out, thats goes for any job in construction by the way.
Second job was working on a high rise in Perth City, WA, again only as a laborer but the pay was 32 bucks an hour, same deal as queensland, when the boss asks you to do something, keep your mouth shut and get on with it, worked my ass off there for 16 months and banked everything from the 2 years work and left Australia.
That was 3 years ago, I keep in touch with a friend who still lives in Perth, its gotten a lot more expensive there now apparently but im sure you can still make decent money and save.
Regards.

Where can you buy a house for 150K in the US? In New Jersey where I live that wouldn't buy a shack.

headlands, 200$ each.
rent in Perth was about 150$ a week, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom shoebox about 15min drive from the CBD where I worked, 150$ each.
1 bedroom unit in Perth city, probarly around 250$ a week, near the beach, 300$

I left Australia almost 5 years ago and now live about 40 mins from Switzerland
Both places have strong economies. I can't speak for Switzerland, but property in Australia has gone from not that cheap to horrendous in the past few years. Even finding a decent rental in the Eastern capitals can be tough.
When I was back home last christmas (2011/2012), I was surprised at how expensive things had become. I guess you don't notice much when you're living day to day, but after a few years away I was a little shocked. Breakfast or lunch at a cafe, for example, I used to enjoy quite regularly when I lived there, but I wouldn't be able to afford it anymore - not with the same regularity as I used to. Going to the cinema was also a shock. Trying to find a bookstore in Melbourne, and then actually buying a couple of things and getting no change from $100 - things like that hit home when you haven't been part of the changes.
If you can get work in the mines or somewhere miles away in the bush you can save a bundle. An old school friend went and studied to be a surveyor, lived in a place called Roma for 5 years (arse end of nowhere mining town) and paid for his house outright when he got back to Brisbane.
I'm not sure what you'd need to do to earn big in Switzerland.

my brains look like swiss cheese under a microscope does that count

lol i live in switzerland.
look, australia has one thing thats better, the weather.and thats it.
switzerland is the best nation bar none.
i talked to a ceo of a very big company who went to the WEF in davos, american, says the same.the british, say the same.
go figure.
its not easy but its the best nation.
How to compere :
- Old Euro country (Switzerland) & New World (Australia)
- Very old tribal nation & New immigrants nation (108 years old)
- Very small country & very big country
- Land lock country & country with 3 Oceans
- Minerals poor land & massively minerals reach continent (+ half of Antarctica)
- Cold climate & variety of climates
- Limited seasonal fresh food supply (frozen fish,farmed fish) & No limits of fresh food & hundreds of choices
- Can fish & fresh (wild) fish
- Too conservative nation & easy going nation
- Dark winter sky & beautiful blue sky
- Wildlife almost none & zillion variety (sharks,crocks,snakes,devils,goannas,spiders,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)
- Education,hospitals CH system is better than Aussie I admit that
- Girls boring & Aussie chicks far,far better looking & easy going
- Hookers:Moldovian,Polish,Estonian & never ending supply of cute Asian pussy
- Etc,.etc,...........................
- CLEAR WINNER = AUSTRALIA
-

Yes!
You can buy nice 3 and even 4 bedroom homes in the Midwest for $150,000 all day.

As an Aussie living in Germany - let me say this. Germans are fucking conservative.
But Aussies are not that far behind.
The Swiss - I live very close to them but I don't really know. The ones I've met have also been fucking conservative.
Australia isn't as carefree as many would like to think.
-
galeniko - you're originally from former Yugoslavia region right?
The people I know in Switzerland all have pretty negative attitudes to people from the Balkans. Have you ever noticed this yourself in the way they behave toward you? My impression is that Swiss are generally more polite than Germans, who have no problem being a girl directly to you your face.
Switzerland has better chocolate than Australia - that's not contestible.

I thought you said the people in Switzerland were horrible and that places like Geneva were crawling with criminal scum?
-
conservative people, yes, theyre ultra conservative and nationalist here, even "kanton"ist, nationalist is the wrong term.they even dislike eachothers, let alone foreigners,lol.
but the laws, the laws are what decide over quality of life, theyre liberal and lenient for citizens.
and swtzerland also has more than 1 climate zone, the guy above brought up that point, economicaly, switzerland is the non plus ultra.
oz is 95% wasteland, a desert with couple big cities.economy based on mining.wow, now thats solid ::)
The Aussies like sex and booze and drugs and violence too; it's pretty much like UK culture there.
-
The key to Australia being such a great nation is that we get a small percentage of our population to work very hard in the mines (and pay them very well), and then the rest of us do fuck all but work easy 9 - 5 jobs or mooch off the government and then get drunk every weekend. Nobody gives a fuck about anything here and everyone chooses to live a relaxing, easy life. Unfortunately other countries aren't as lucky because they lack the resource rich land that we have so they don't have the wealth that enables most of the population to live this way.

And after they get drunk, they retch their vomit onto the pavements and make noises like banshees, lol.

Mining is only 10% of the Australian economy.

fuck if youre some german who lived here id love to see you deported.
this post is misleading to the maximum.ill destroy your argumentation later.

Relax Her Montenegro,

Rules ???, what rules !.

Switzerland has better chocolate than Australia - that's not contestible.
Personally, I think the Swiss stuff is crap and way too expensive ! I love chocolate, I know the Swiss have a reputation for chocolate, and I have tried them all, and none of that Swiss stuff comes even close to a cheap block of Australian Cadbury's Chocolate.

Correct , Swiss/Austrians/Germans respect Croatians & Slovenians only !.
Guestarbaiters from Montenegro would never ever receive CH citizenship's papers !.
CH has Haidi , Aussie has Ned Kelly , Ned would screw her :P

What kind of work do you do in swiss and how much do you earn?how you got your citinzenship?
-
i work in a hotel as receptionist, earn about 45k usd yearly, plus 6 weeks aid holidays plus 13th monthly wage(this is payed end of year and covers income taxes, most comanies pay your income tax here this way, very smart scheme and good for both).and full paying into what is in usa k401 from employer, and unemployment insurance.
i got the citizenship like most immigrants do, after 5 years of stay here, you can apply for it, itll be published in newspapers and if nobody brings up reasons against it, you get the passport.
so, 5 years with no criminal record upon entry, quite high requirement, considering some of the crazy laws here.(driving for example).
and no, cant get fast citizenship by marrying a swiss.just staying permit.
btw, im not saying oz is shit, but it cant touch switzerland.but oz is def up there too.
Goodness me, you mean at the advanced age of 34 you're still only a receptionist/bellboy? Isn't that the lowest of the low? Your salary per annum should work out to only 12k usd I'm guessing! :o
-
yes, the people absolutely hate my kind here, even though im citizen.the name stands.they call us "secondos" second gen immigrants.
the swiss are worse than germans, and i dislike germans.
what saves it for me is i live in the one metropolitan city where most liberals are.
btw, the balkan people have had their fair share of hate, now the trend is to hate on the next immigrants, germans and ppl from arab nations.
balkan ppl also pay tremendously more car insurance, bc of notorious bad driving behaviour(allegedly)
How do you view the genocide in former Yugo?

Switzerland is beautiful, could definitely live there although I would probably miss the Aussie beaches.
-
if you ever come over, id gladly show you my coffeemachine at home(in layman terms, id hit it)
just let me know :-*
Booty is on her way, she told me to tell you she will be there around 6pm tommorow, could you please collect her at the airport. :o

I want a hot chocolate from springli. It's like having an orgasm of the mouth. I have never tasted anything so good in my life.
-
ok, but after that, you will soon need some protein straight from the galeniko missile ;D
I like to eat in old town. ;D
-
i work in the old town, at the "zentral" station, precisely.
yes its lovely there, would go eat something there, and then-i guess youre somewhat wealthy-you could take me on shopping trip and buy me some stuff :D
then, sex, fair is fair :-*
I am more into sight seeing than shopping. But I will make an exception for Swarovski, I love that store there. ;D

i still stand by that, but read the above.another thing is, once they gwet to know you a bit, they open up and become somewhat nicer.
the key to swiss wealth is all the stolen banking money and everyone knows it here.they built a very solid system from scratch but based on stolen money.before ww2 this was a framers antion, before ww1 they had to take food help packages from russia.
yeah so what, we like our climate here, have you heard of the italian part of switzerland, theres palms there and its a 1-2 hour drive from wherever you are in switzerland.and we can afford to go to holiday at warm places.
i got relatives who lived in pearth, they now use it only for holidays, but returned to work here.
you need to update on the guestarbeiters thing, theres new treatys.
but anyone wanting citizenship, its not going to be easy.however, most dont even want the citizenship, bc they have the same rights, but are exepmt from mandatory military as non citizens.even employers prefer the immigrants, are cheaper and always available, while citizens have repeated military duties.
if you buy it here, itll be terribly expensive, like everything, but instead you can order from low wage land germany by post for half of your price ;D

keep in mind that from the country galeniko came from this salary of 45k usd is at his home country like a millionaire!ask him,there where he come from the recepionist works only in 3 months of the summer and the pay is 600-700 usd per month!
swiss is another planet for them!
if aleniko come to his born country on holiday i bet his old friends looks at him like hes a millionaire!
plus for all taxes that all workers pay you get you health insurance which is for me one of the most important things!you got sick or whatever surgery you need,you will get it!its not like in the crap USA where you have to pay some insurance company and if you have some kind of disease which is to costy and your insurance policy dont cover it,they say you "sorry bye bye"
in swiss is everything clean...did you hear "precize like a swiss watch" thats it! fuck USA

Aussie girls are not easy going...
In the capital cities of Australia they have a rich sense of self entitlement, unquenchable thirst for hedonism, emotionally unavailable and unfriendly.

You either pay the guv for health insurance or you pay an insurance company, hmo, ppo etc. With the latter you get choices

Basically this is the standard policy for any female in any large city in the US, Canada, Uk, South Africa or Oz.
In Switzerland you have much more chance of a good looking, fit, very intelligent, if somewhat boring but reliable women.

You dont understand cause youre from USA which is a shit of country from a HEALH CARE standpoint-i pay 100$ monthly for my healthcare (actually i see a deduction from my salary of 100$ it`s not that i got my 100& and go to the bank to pay that) and for that i have covered ALL EXPENSES in the future in i have to do some surgery,to take some medicine,go to doctor,dentist all is FREE!!!
of course menagers or other people who have a big big salary they pay 5x more for their insurance but this is fair cause they have 10x beter salalry than the average guy!
and am not even in switzerland,but from what i heard from people living there its fabolous how precizly it works!
i watched a docmentary SICKO from 2007 and i laughed a lot what a fucked country USA is hahahaha
few sotries:
in 9/11 attack many people volontered to help in the destructed bulidings...they helped saving other peoples life and they got sick from inhalating that air which damaged their lungs!and USA didnt recognized them,so now they are almost dead and cant get any benefit!
one guy cutted his 3 fingers doing some work in the house,went to the hospital and they said to him "sorry your insurance cover only 2 fingers and one finger left anputated"
last fragment if i remember correct,a guy pick up many sick people from this documentary and they went to guantanamo base but they didnt eneter,but they sayw the US army built the most sofisticated medical center for terrorist,i mean if some terrorist got sick he have better health care then the guy living in the USA who doesnt have an insurance...
so the guy picked them in CUBA and there the doctors only asked them for their name and surname and gave them a medication for few bucks...they wondered "how this medication here costs 2 bucks if in the USA it costs 150 bucks" hahaha VIVA AMERICA
