-- Posted by Lally at 3:19 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Hello everyone! I have been wanting to move to Australia for awhile now. and have a duel citizenship here and Australia. I am only 15, young I know. But I would LOVE to live in Australia. I have done lots of research on it in my study hall periods and when I'm home. I want to live on the Gold Coast. And I found Mermaid Beach...well, most likely in the United States, beach houses are really expensive. Aussies out there, are they expensive for you too? Or are they just the same amount of money as an ordinary house? I really want to move to Mermaid Beach in the Gold Coast.   LWians out there...if you can find me a good place to live, something on Mermaid Beach ...I think there is another place in Gold Coast that starts with "mermaid" i think they are related in some way. But please if you find a place that is at a good price , i will give you 100 points. -- Posted by Jman19 at 3:20 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 I hope you're rich, otherwise you're going to have a lot of saving to do. -- Posted by LucidAssassin at 3:20 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 some guy from australia sold his life on ebay for like 40k i think -- Posted by musicfan3 at 3:20 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 But your only 15 you haven't even graduated yet. -- Posted by Catacomb at 3:20 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 pay my rent and keep your points you can move in with me -- Posted by Jman19 at 3:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 http://www.realestate.com.au/realestate/qld/gold+coast/mermaid+beach I don't know what you consider a 'good price' but there are the listings. -- Posted by Brunette lady at 3:23 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 A 15 year old? living by yourself in forgine country, First off a couple thousand for a plane ticket another couple hundred thousand for a residence and you better have a good amount of money coming in each month for taxes and bills ext another at least 10 grand for a car and maitenece, A driver lisence to drive yourself, money for food and clothes.

Have you considered looking for apartments to rent or share with other travellers to reduce the cost? The Gold Coast isn't a very large place, so you can probably not live on the beach but be very close to it. Unless you're making it all up, since you can't have become a citizen yet.
