The migration away from Sydney has become more than just a trickle - it’s turning into a steady stream. Reading through various online discussions recently, I’ve noticed a growing chorus of voices expressing their exhaustion with the relentless financial pressure cooker that Sydney has become.

Living in Melbourne, I often hear similar sentiments echoed through the corridors of my office building. The numbers tell a stark story: $9 sandwiches, $8 pies, and townhouses with seven-figure price tags that would make your eyes water. But it’s not just Sydney - these astronomical prices are creeping into every major Australian city.
