Perth For Retirement

 Is Perth a good place for retirement?

IMHO it is great at least six months of the year, autumn and winter time.

Temperature is 10-20°C which is VERY NOICE.

So it’s about whether I’ve got a nice place to stay while I’m here.

Buying a property incurs large sums and many say it is a waste of if I don’t rent it out and collect rent to pay for my taxes and other miscellaneous upkeep costs.

Renting might be an option.

Hmm.

Also I think the AUD is waaaaaaay undervalued against the SGD. Right now at 1 AUD buys only 0.83 SGD. So everything I spend here is at an almost 20% discount. Yummy!

Slowly becoming a fan of Australia as a potential home away from home.
