So much of the world is in economic decline, as we all know... Many economists believe that this will be a sort of "silent depression", leaving the young people of today with no retirement funds in their later years, realizing that they are unable to make ends meet. I'm wondering how I can escape this fate.

More specifically, I'm considering moving to Australia, as my surface assessment of the situation there seems a lot better. Is this true? I am led to believe that the cost of living is lower, while in many cases the average pay may be higher for many jobs. This all seems too good to be true, so I'm wondering what's the reality of this situation.

Does anyone think this would be a good idea? If not, what are our other options?

It's not the bed of roses that you think it is. Accomodation is still expensive in the cities and we're headed for a recession as well.

But I can't blame you because everyone knows how awesome Australia is. There's lots of opportunities for professional kangaroo riders.

Australia is feeling the pinch of a few greedy bankers in the US too.

It's not the land of milk and honey you make it sound to be.
