[@amaknusa9212]

@@CA999 Interesting question. On a different note, I have been told 85% of UK immigrants return to the UK within 3 years, given how difficult it is in the UK, it speaks volumes about surviving in Australia as a new immigrant. I am a first Generation Australian just reached retirement age and am exploring all options, in finding a better retirement outcome in another country. Also have two still attending University, kids, (I started late) they are exploring there possibilities overseas, for so many reasons, even as simple as, being pissed off with fluorided water, or GMO foods, electricity prices, property costs, fresh food, roads falling apart, never ending pot holes, second rate free medical, having to take out a mortgage to see a dentist, TAXES upon TAXES, ETC ETC ETC. I would rather earn $300/week and spend $100 for a comfortable life, rather than earn $1000/ week and have to spend $900 for a comfortable life.

[@harryadsett1349]

I'm someone who seems to abnormally struggle with technology. I'm 32 now and have a too much wear and tear from 15 years of back breaking labour (mainly farm work and huge hours at that). I'm working towards starting my own business mowing, cleaning gutters, pressure washing, detailing cars etc. because working for a low wage and raising a family in Australia is becoming impossible now. So I think it's a step in the right direction if I can be successful at it. But I would really like to be able to have some success with a digital business too. My body can't keep doing this forever, I don't trust the government to not keep raising retirement age, and I'm not even sure I'll ever own a home in Australia either. I may have no choice but to move to somewhere like SE Asia, Italy, Spain etc. once my kids are adults. But if that's the case I need to get more savvy with technology and the digital world. I'd definitely be interested in learning more.

Do the first few jobs yourself, build client base , then , DELEGATE , stop being so hands on , start supervising younger people , let them work for you. Good luck bro .

[@robmadaffari6270]

After working for boss's for nearly 40 years, I eventually started my own business. Never had the balls to do it sooner. Staying in the same industry all that time your relationships with customers is irreplaceable. I went from 40-70 hours a week making other pricks rich to now working a 1/3rd of the time making almost twice as much.... I will never work for someone else ever again. Way to many tax benefits lol. At 32 years of age you can make some serious coin, even if you applied everything you have learned and apply it in another country the benefits will come, just takes balls to do it,. I was forced out of job with a company I worked for 34 years and nearly lost my house due to convid. Never effing again,

I'm interested in learning how to make money online. I'm retired in Thailand. The thing is I have time and I would love to make even $100-200 extra a week as I'm self funded and don't need to make an income to live, but a little extra here would go that much further. Income streams are good as you don't want all your irons in the one fire. My problem is to find the right direction, as there is so much "noise" on the internet you end up going down dead end streets with KZbinrs making clickbait. You don't come across like that to me.
