How I Accidentally Left Australia Permanently After 30 Years

I left Australia after 30 years living there and it's been the hardest decision of my life. There's so many things I still miss about Australia. I miss my family. I miss the late-night drives and seeing no other cars and being able to drive for an hour through the outback. I miss the coffee and going

to cafes and the amazing coffee that we have. I miss our beaches in the summertime and relaxing on the beach with friends and playing guitar. There's a lot I miss about Australia, but there's also a lot that I'm glad I left for and it's a constant reminder because on some days when you're really missing

home, I guess you call it home because it's where I've grown up my whole life, you know, I still call Australia home.

It's kind of ingrained into you. On the days you miss home or the days you miss what was your home, you have to reflect and think that the grass is always greener on the other side because there was a big reason why I left Australia and those reasons haven't changed. Going back to Australia, if I was to ever go

back to Australia, it wouldn't fix those things and those things would just eat me up and I'm going to explain to you what our things happened with Australia and where it's going so wrong.

Now, when I was in my younger 20s, 30 now, when I was in my younger 20s, I remember working every tragic job you could imagine to scrounge money to try and get ahead and I thought if I put all this money away, I could, you know, get a house deposit and I

could get a house and then I could wait on that to build as an asset and one day I could sell it or get a secondary house, an investment property and I had the same buzz idea as everyone else. And I worked every job. I worked in a call center whilst doing uni full time. I also worked at a bookstore, the co-op

bookstore in Sydney in the customer service department. I then worked at Luna Park setting up like tearing and setting up all of the events and things like that. Manual labor, 12-hour shifts, preparing them to be ready for the next day, 12-hour night shifts.

And I at the end of each paycheck I found myself barely ahead. And I'll tell you a story. So, what happened one one towards the end of one year I was renting with this guy, great guy. He his name was Reese, and I I met him on flatmates.com or whatever that website was. And I was renting with him in an

apartment in Sydney or a house in Sydney in Five Dock, if you know where that area is. He's a great guy, he's a dude he's actually in a wheelchair. He'd had an accident, he played for the Australian basketball team like on the national team, really nice guy. And he goes to me he goes, "Bro, like I don't want to

stress you out." He goes, "But you're you're missing a few weeks rent payment." And I was like, "What do What do you mean? I pay my rent monthly in advance. Like I pay like four weeks rent in advance so that I'm always ahead." In my head I thought that was the smart thing to do. So, I pay him, he had his

name on the lease and it was rent through flatmates. And it come to the end of the year and he goes, "Yeah, mate, you're you're four weeks behind on rent." And I was like, "How can that be, brother?
