When I left the uk my salary was 17,000 pounds -my salary here is $75k which iis about 50k pounds. however the cost of living here is crazy. some places charge $15 (a tenner) a pint. when i lived in the uk my monthly rent was 550 pounds, here my mtg is $3k - about 2 grand pounds. some tradies out here can earn a fortune if you have a trade WA in particular is desperate for workers to come across. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/13340611/us-worker-plan-finds-appeal-in-pilbara/
Cost of living is much higher though. A pint will cost on average over 10 Dollars, about £6.50 - 7. **** having to put up with that on a permanent basis
£550 per month? **** me! You are either in your 90's or a Northern monkey £550 would only just cover a weeks rent of a 750 sqft 2 bed in the East end of London nowadays.
