Have you heard of a wonderful idea called 'Letting'. It's a process whereby someone pays YOU to live in your house back home thus paying your mortgage for you and avoiding the hassle of having to send your OWN money home. This cushions the blow of having to 'survive' on only $5,000 a month and makes it less of a hardship!
p.s Cyclone not included but if you're into saving money, York is cheaper...........so i've heard......
