Hi there, was wondering if any of you have made a sea change from Sydney..or anywhere for that matter. Are you enjoying life since the change, no regrets?.
Reason I ask is my wife and I are thinking of making a sea change from Sydney to Lake Cathie, this is a town about 15 minutes south of Port Macquarie.
Currently I work in IT and have a relatively well paying job, moving north would be a significant pay cut for the both of us, but in relative terms the take home pay would be about the same after a Sydney mortgage 600k etc in comparison to a mortgage under 300k , and probably paid off much sooner.
I guess there are many benefits of moving like more places to fish, more relaxed lifestyle etc, walk to beach/fishing etc.
My wifes parents live up there as well, so we would have family there, mind the kids etc when we have them.
Will also be able to buy a boat once we get up there, so plenty of fishing available.
Interested to see your replies , so far havent heard of anyone regretting the changes.
We are still pretty young, around 30s.
Thanks
