I moved my family from Australia to New York City 12 years ago. It's led to some very expensive regrets.

Although I have some expensive regrets, I am ultimately glad I moved my family from Australia to New York City many years ago. Courtesy of Natasha Silva-Jelly I grew up in Australia and always dreamed of living in New York City , so I moved my family there. Living here comes with costs, like missing family in Australia and being unable to visit them often. We've spent a ton on rent, and I've moved around the city a lot, but there's no place I'd rather be. It was my lifelong dream to live in New York City . Wild, given that I was born in a small rural town in Australia, where I grew up riding dirt bikes, not reading fashion magazines. The Land Down Under was a big, beautiful place offering an idyllic, laid-back beach life, but I always felt a pull toward The Big Apple.
