I could live in Europe, but I'm not convinced it would be cheaper. Australia may be more expensive for some things, but there are also savings. Health insurance would be desirable or compulsory in some countries. Not every country has a decent tax-free income allowance like Australia (19k or so), and some even charge a wealth tax. My housing costs are actually reasonable, renting in a city of ~20k with a high unemployment rate. Since my income is so low, my partner can still qualify for Centrelink benefits. Petrol? Don't own a vehicle. Vice taxes? My only vice is an Internet connection. My entertainment is an Internet connection .. frugal all round. The lifting of the pension age to 70 and beyond is potentially an issue.
