> Australia within the last 11 years went to shit big time, and it is getting worse by the day.

Most major wester economies did the same in past 11 years: stagnating wages, exploding CoL. Life was good 11 years ago when salaries were great and housing still abundant and affordable to buy but this isn't the case anymore.

If you expect an improvement, moving anywhere there right now would be like jumping from a lake to a pond.

Housing in Australia was not affordable at all 11 years ago! Perhaps 20 years ago yeah… but I mean, compared to almost anywhere else, salaries for the average folk are great even when you compensate for that. Only the top tier is underpaid if you compare with the USA, much like Europe.
