I Want To Move Back To Australia… But The Housing Crisis Has Me Scared

Send us Fan MailI’m an Aussie living in the United States… and lately, I’ve found myself quietly unsettled by the idea of moving home.Every time I see headlines about Australia’s housing crisis — and hear stories from people trying to rent or buy — I catch myself wondering:If I go back… what exactly am I going back to?The Australia I grew up in felt different. There was a sense that if you worked hard and made sensible choices, you’d at least have a fair shot at stability. That assumption doesn’t feel as certain anymore.In this video, I reflect on what the housing and rental crisis looks like from afar — and how it’s reshaping the dream of “one day moving back.”We’ll talk about:• What I’m seeing and hearing from people on the ground • Why so many Australians feel locked out of ownership • What this means for families, younger Aussies, and retirees • And how housing in Australia compares — and doesn’t compare — to life here in the USThis isn’t a policy breakdown. It’s a personal reckoning.If you’re in Australia right now — renting, buying, or somewhere in between — I’d genuinely value your perspective.======================================================Support the podcast:☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth🌏 Website: https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth📷 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919🐦 X: https://x.com/aussiemika74📩 Business enquiries & collaborations: [email protected] for listening.Hoo roo maties.Support the showCheck out additional content on our YouTube page!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjipgN51kc8swHyKeSx2tzw
