Q: I've been offered a job at $75,000 plus 9% superannuation per year to relocate to Perth from the US. Is this enough for a small family of three (and maybe four in a short while)?
A: To be totally honest, I would not consider relocating for $75,000 and the 9% superannuation is not a bonus - it's a statutory (legal) requirement. Unless there are other advantages to moving your family from the US, I would not accept the offer. $75,000 is not a huge income in Australia when you have 3 dependents and rent to pay. Tha amounts to about $1,000 a week after tax. Take out rent of $400 per week leaving $600 a week. You'd be living on the edge.
