Sorry HKfooey, I over estimated, only cleared 230 so I guess I did exaggerate a little.
I am not single, I have a wife, 1 bub and my trusty dog.
I have only been out of aus for 2 years although it took me about 5 years of research before I found the gig I have now, which is why I left. I won't tell you exactly where I am based but I will mention airlines certainly aren't the place to make money anymore especially in aus.
The Asian region is definitely the place to work and Aus could be a good retirement village when I get sick of the most enjoyable life experience I have had. Even my wife is happy!
