Money

People have traditionally moved to Australia in search of a better house, lifestyle and weather.

It's important to make sure money matters are right too though.

If you have less money than you need for comfort, the sunshine won't like quite so bright.

Looking on the bright side, Australia's economy has been booming recently. The Chinese and Indian economies are growing fast and their demand for commodities is driving the prices commanded by many of Australia's exports to new heights.

Australia's companies have never been so profitable and the taxes they pay are swelling the Ausralian Treasury's surplus.

The Australian Government has more money than it needs and is returning money to both companies and individuals through tax cuts.

In 2006, with generous tax-cuts kicking-in in July, it looks like Australians' standard of living is going to continue rising for some time.
