Cool How much is the Aussie Lifestyle costing you?

From the *Terms and Endearment forum, a PPRuNer has asked whether "Lifestyle" is worth anything.
Now I believe it's no secret that employers such as Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, and Virgin Blue have attracted MANY Australian pilots, based in Australia, on lesser payscales than their overseas equivalents.
Obviously "cost of living" must also be factored into the total disposable income left for recreational purposes, but how much - in a p.a. dollar figure - is the Australian LIFESTYLE worth? Or another way of putting it - realistically, how much EXTRA would you need to be offered to forego the beaches, the country drives, the clean air, the annual bushfires, etc?

Edit:
*Sorry - Terms and Endearment.
