Uhg, this is tough to hear. Was considering migrating to New Zealand.
*Immigrate sounds weird does it not?
I left NZ a few years ago and one of my main reasons were the lower incomes and high cost of housing. It all came down to the fact that I couldn't even afford to rent a flat by my self, whereas right across the Tasman I could earn twice the salary and have a comparable if not lower cost of living.
Eventually I've ended up in Europe and I'm earning almost 4 times of what I was earning back home. I've considered coming back, bit the prospect of maybe never being able to own a home keeps me away.
That is the exact reason I'm leaving the US... Can't afford these damned $1500/month rent prices after insane medical expenses.
Guess I'm back to the drawingboard on where to go though, haha.
You've got to pay the premiums because all the wealthy dipshits need to build the bunkers when this POS they've created collapses 😊
