While locals complain of living costs, Australian households on average spend 19% of their disposable income on keeping a roof over their heads, below the OECD's average of 21%. And 85% of Australian respondents said they were in good health, well above the survey average of 69%.
虽然当地人抱怨生活成本上升，但澳大利亚家庭平均拿出19%的可支配收入用于维持必要的生活开支，这一比例低于OECD调查显示的21%的平均水平。85%的澳大利亚受访者表示，他们的健康状况良好，这远高于调查显示的69%的平均水平。
The negatives in Australia are more than offset by the beach lifestyle and climate, said Geraldine Alvarez, 33, who moved to Sydney from the Philippines two decades ago.
33岁的阿尔瓦雷斯(Geraldine Alvarez)说，澳大利亚的种种负面问题被这里的海滩生活方式和气候远远抵消了。20年前阿尔瓦雷斯从菲律宾搬到悉尼。
'It's very relaxing and laid back,' she said.
阿尔瓦雷斯说，这里非常放松悠闲。
