London ✈️ Melbourne (help)

Here’s our situation…

Me (39 y/o) carpenter, wife 40 (y/o) Marketing Director.

We live in London and own a 1 bed first floor flat (70m2), fortunately have space for my tools and a shared garden.

Between us we gross around £200k annually excluding my wife’s bonus.

I’ve been in London for 14 yrs and my wife has liver here her entire life.

I’ve done summer and winter seasons, and have lived in the states and Europe, albeit 15>20 years ago now.

We’ve been talking about a move abroad for a long time whilst we’re still young enough.

We’re now in a position to really look at how/where a move could be possible and Melbourne on paper seems to tick a lot of boxes.

I’ll be okay work wise in mostly any city, but my wife need a good amount of job opportunities at a senior level, does Melbourne offer this as the LinkedIn posts for Marketing Directors looks slim.

We both love art galleries, music, drinking, great food and a fun scene and outdoor walks, which we fortunately have in London, however we both want to experience a new country together and also a city which has a slightly slower (but still fun) pace plus easier access to travel around Asia.

London can be intense.

For a move we need to match or ideally better our current take home (£10k after tax every 4 weeks), we want a bigger place to live with direct access to a garden, another room or two.

What’s the general view on how achievable the above is with regard to take home cash, a bigger house (to rent initially) and plenty of opportunities for my wife and also me.

Warm4 vs Omnitronics TRM 202 MK3

Has anyone played using both mixers?

Current set up is the Omnitronics TRM 202 MK3 and Adam Audio 5TV.

Sounds perfectly fine for my living room, however having mid isolation for each channel would be nice.

How noticeable is the difference in sound?

My current portfolio is made up of…

S&P: 40%

Rolls Royce: 35%

Nvidia: 25%

I have a few shares in Nebius too.

Whats the consensus, double down on Nvidia / tech stocks or diversify more?

I have looked briefly at healthcare, energy, etc, some are doing okay, others not soo much.
