Very informative, really love your presenting style - casual and relaxed. It would be nice to see as percentages of UK costs vs Australia. Thanks.
Thanks Suku, will start crunching those numbers
Have dropped to a message on fb Ross. Hope you don’t mind. Just some advice on the move cheers 🍻
Really appreciate these videos me and my partner are starting to look into moving down under and your videos are making us want it more
No worries Tyler. Speak to True Blue Migration Services for a free visa consultation and let them tell you what your options are for moving here
Hey! Been following you guys for a while now, can't believe you moved mid-pandemic and did the whole hotel quarantine thing! Fair play! We lived in QLD for a year and a half before coming home to Ireland a few years ago. I'm a teacher as well, and taught on the Gold Coast at the time, but thinking we were coming back to Ireland for good I let my registration lapse. My partner was scaffolding over there but graduated as an engineer here about 7 months ago - the job hunt for him has been ridiculously disheartening, and Aus is really starting to look more appealing yet again! Your videos are really informative - thanks a mil!
You know you want to come back...
@@ThatJohnstonLife You went over on a 189 visa - just a curious question; as you were the main visa applicant, did you have to find work as a teacher based on the visa you had? Or did you have the freedom to look for anything when you arrived?
Love watching your videos, as we are also planning a move from Europe to Brisbane next year. Also a Gooner myself! Maybe we can hang out to watch the matches ;)
Absolutely!! Hope your move goes smoothly
Another great and informative video, thanks Ross! Still waiting on that visa but when it comes through our family will be joining you from the UK!
Cheers Peter. Hopefully any day now for you!
Yes would be good to see if you're better off in Australia or the UK after converting the currency. As you said seems like you have more money now but would be interesting to know (Yes nosey bugger 😉). Plus you got a nice big home and pool that you said you wouldn't be able to afford in the UK .
Good idea to install solar panels they do help with the cost of power. Looking at getting a solar battery storage unit to make full use of the panels. Now that they have come down heaps in price and size. Some can store up to 18hrs in a blackout.
Looked into batteries too but I still think they're a bit too expensive, especially as we don't suffer from brown or blackouts
@@ThatJohnstonLife Are you able to sell back into the grid? If so how does the rate during the day compare to what you pay at night? Would love to see a follow up on this once you have some figures.
@@kjlovescoffee yes we do. I used to get 11c/kwh but now I'm on 8c. Will do a full breakdown when I have more info across different seasons
Hi guys! first time commenting but me and the mrs have binged most of your videos. This video was really helpful so thank you. All your videos have inspired us to take the first steps...
That's great to hear James. I wish you all the best with your move!!
Really helpful video for people looking to make a move. Love that you just get down to the facts in you vlogs. Hope you are all keeping well and enjoying your beautiful summer weather x
Thanks Kris. We're loving it
Great video Ross. Keep them coming. I'm planning on using these to convince my wife to make the move.
Hope it work, if you need any other info videos to help convince her let us know
@@ThatJohnstonLife appreciate that, thank you. The jssue with my wife is she would not want to leave her family. She is very close with them. How did you and your wife deal with the prospect of leaving loved ones?
5:16 instead of getting life insurance, maybe check your superannuation fund. They usually have life insurance built it.
I'm not saying that super fund one is better, but it might be something to look into, and really, there is no need to pay for both 🤷
Great tip Jimmy. Thanks
The improved sound 👏👏
Yeah, tried a different mic setup 👍
Thanks for sharing this information. Very helpful
Any time
Australians are generally NICE, and give a fair chance or are fair. It is maybe not my style to living there but while there it give me a life long appreciation
Definitely fair
Northside of Brisbane is the best 😊 your run down on costs makes me want to leave Sydney and move back!!
I totally agree!
Brilliant video! thanks Ross
No worries
Council rate is great in where you are. What a steal. I think moving to Aus is so much more affordable and the size of house you get at that price.
I didn't realise so many other places had it so much more expensive
Great video and yes please to the comparison Aus v UK
Noted 👍
This was awesome thanks for doing all that number crunching for us !!
So many calculations lol
@@ThatJohnstonLife very very appreciated 😊
OMG your council rates are great. We live in rural Qld and we pay over $4k a year.
OMG. The true cost of living rural!
Yeah and you probably have your own septic tank, water bore and pay a private rubbish company. Been there done all that over here lol sux! Ya wonder what your actually paying for eh.
Ikr and insurance is higher the fuckers. Its like they want everyone to move to the cities and think were gonna stay out here paying to grow their food and mine there resources.
I was trying to work out the difference as I was watching, but the video was too fast and I'm too lazy to go back. A lot of your costs are equivalent to ours in Hertfordshire. It would be interesting if you could do the conversion!
You can pause... conversion coming soon!
If you have a mortgage house insurance is compulsory. You need it anyway.
I would like to see the conversion of Aussie and uk
Will look into it
Buddy please make a video on Budget living in aussie I mean the city or regional areas which is cheap
Great Video 🇮🇳🇦🇺❤️
Thanks John..
Who's John?
@@ThatJohnstonLife oh thats Ross...sorry I mistook your name...i took John outta Johnston Life lol
That home insurance sounds very cheap (especially if it's comprehensive) - is it building only, or contents as well.
Re Life Insurance, it's worth checking your super - sometimes (I'd like to say often - I think it has with every super fund I've used) life insurance is included in super (well, not really included, they'd be taking a premium out of your super).
Need the link mate for full detailed housed costs. Please let me know. Shot
Which link?
Hey mate. You said you pay $90 a month for a shit internet. Seriously research mate. There are way better deals out there with good download speeds. Don’t go Optus or Telstra. Throwing away money with these companies. Good luck. Nice vid👍🏻
Very good X
Thanks
Cost of living aside, how do you like life in Down Under, and Brisbane in particular, compared to the UK?
We love it here. Apart from missing friends and family it's so much better than our life in the UK
@@ThatJohnstonLife Good on you mate. Happy to hear that you’re enjoying life in Oz.
TLDR fucking expensive obviously 😂
Hence why im thinking 100% off grid
Well rainwater tanks solar and wind.
Wood stove for backup heating/cooking (especially in winter)
Passive house so i only need the bare minimum of energy lowering my needs even further for the same conditions.
That last one makes a huge difference. I wonder how far the Australian build standards are from IPHA standard.
Thanks - your house insurance seems a bargain - does it also cover contents? Medical Insurance is expensive and Medicare is fine when young and fit. But the later you start it the more you pay. It is a lot more if you leave starting it until you are 50 say. The big advantage is less waiting times and choice of hospital and specialist. Solar saves me about 33% of my electricity bill - but this could go down as the buy back rate falls. Besides solar not sure why the big increases in fuel bills worrying the UK is less prominent here.
We worry less here about energy bills for sure
Jeeze my rent is over $2600 per month but that’s Melbourne for you.
Ouch
Pure brilliant
Cheers Stevie
Great video! How much do you spend on the car? Insurance, fuel, TCO/km, etc
Perhaps that is one for another video?
@@ThatJohnstonLife for sure!
wow your insurance is cheap. I live in rural Tasmania 3 bedroom home and the best I can get was over 1600 yearly. the next provider was 2300. So seems I am paying for your cheaper insurnce lol
Thank you for your service
Hi Ross, that life insurance is a great deal. Who is it with and also home insurance?
Can't remember the life insurance, I just went to a comparison website as I don't actually have that insurance. The home insurance is with Virgin. I think they're still doing the voucher deal
Hi, love the videos and they are helping us a lot in making a decision.
Just curious, is the mortgage process similar to the UK? From what I can see you purchased fairly quickly after emigrating, was there any issues with this? (Proving credit worthiness etc) Thanks 👍🏻
If you have your work contract, and a few months evidence of payments and expenditures you should be alright. It’s also better if you have PR rather than a temporary visa
Hi Ross what area on the North side did you buy your house in ??
Would you ever consider moving south or are you content in Brisbane?
There's not a lot enticing me away right now
Hi does your credit score follow you to australia.
I have a excellent score but have read conflicting things online.
Just don't want to struggle getting the best rates in terms of home loan and car financing.
Thanks 👍
Unfortunately not John
Thanks for reply all the information you give really helps people in understanding what to expect.
So pretty much I'll be living with my parents forever lol
That’s not bad numbers mate. Makes me want to move away from western Sydney 😳👍🏻
I dread to think how much that is!
@@ThatJohnstonLife well on the house price alone… I’m in Penrith, 60kms west of the city and your house in Penrith would cost at the very least conservatively $1M. My 40+ year old small 2 bed 1 bath flat would cost $350,000 if I wanted to buy it 😳
Wow everything cheaper in Queensland from Melbourne
Those prices must ouch
Australia is so expensive..
How much do you spend on food?
We try to budget around $150 a week for the 3 of us
@@ThatJohnstonLife thanks
Hi Ross what area are you in thanks
We live in Northern Brisbane Gene near North Lakes
@That Johnston Life thanks Ross looking to make the move to the sunny coast.
Can't stop watching your videos though
Not as expensive as 2024
you talking dollars ou pounds? I see p/m
you pom!!
