Life Advice

26M, soon to be 27. Myself and gf are in a toss up about staying here and progressing in jobs + salaries to get on the property ladder or go do 1 year in Australia, maybe 2 years but we're not fond on doing the regional work.

Im Employed and Self Employed(financial markets). Does it even make sense to cease trading here, to register a business in Aus to continue on trading only to close it down 10 months later to then return and have to setup shop again.

In my head thinking it would have been better to have done the Aus stint 2/3 years ago instead of it coming onto the radar now. FIFO doesn't interest us even for the money, more office job type people. Office job market just as tough over there as it is here.

Would ideally like to be home owning by 30/31 so its crossing my mind that these next few years are the best time to earn the most to build up towards the HTB scheme in the helping of buying a house.

Obviously the lifestyle is the big draw. My commute to work is unreliable with public transport and spend around 1hr 10 mins in the car each way so its getting a bit mundane to say the least.

If anyone has had near same experience/thoughts I'm having, or a word of advice im all ears

Cheers.
