Hard to believe that Australia is actually a more expensive place to live than in Belgium. Still I doubt in Australia you have to fork out $2.50 per garbage bag, in fact last time I checked Australia had moved up to using bins unlike here.
I find it odd, when I was growing up the most expensive places in the world to live where places like Switzerland and Monaco, these days it's Australia. In the last 4 years it has skyrocketed, 2009 Australia wasn't even in the top ten and now it's the 3rd highest overall. I think something has gone wrong.
I think the work-life balance is the most telling thing on that link.
