How are the migrants making it work?

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask those who have migrated to Australia or have any connections with migrants, how are they managing to afford homes, sustain a good lifestyle, and thrive despite rising costs?

I see many migrants buying houses, running businesses, and doing well financially, but I also hear about struggles with high living costs, stagnant wages, and difficulty saving, especially from the locals? What are they doing differently? Or am I tripping and they are equally going through the hardship.

And for those struggling to get ahead, what challenges are you facing? Do you think it’s getting harder to thrive in Australia?

Would love to hear real experiences, both the good and the bad. Let’s keep it honest. Thank you.
