It sounds like pain for all, everywhere!!!!    I'm nervous here!  So it can't be any worse being nervous there....   I think Australia has a more stable economic future than the US!   I'm betting the ranch on it!

hate to sound negative but you'll need more than the price of a Colorado ranch to set up home in australia.

have you at the price of real estate here?  3-4 bedroom homes in Sydney or Melbourne will cost you a good chunk of $1m Aussie Dollars.

a decent family car is $25,000 to $50,000 and petrol/ {gasoline} is around $1.50 a litre
