"Move to nsw" does not mean the same as "move to Sydney"

As a rural New South Wales rural dweller, I feel very ticked off to have
my
State reduced in status to equate with that boring cesspool located on
the
central NSW coastline.

N.S.W. = Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong

Nah! It really means Nelligen, Stockinbingal, Wellington.

Only if you want a decent conversation with people. My biggest problem when
in Sydney is finding someone I can be bothered talking to. I have trouble
finding Sydney people who actually 'do' things - busy, busy, busy all the
ttime but not actually 'doing' anything other than what I would put into the
category of 'socialising' and 'having fun'. There is only so much that can
be meaningfully said about those activites before bordom sets in.

The only thing that keeps me in S is money, or lack of it,

Yeah. I can understand that, having been a wage slave for years. But then
in the country it is surprising how little some people live on very happily
and very successfully. Many years ago when I was earning $40K+/year (an
upper middle bracket salary for that time) and probably wasting most of it,
I found out that a couple that I knew were earning $11K. I couldn't
understand how they made ends meet as they had recently built a house and
had 3 children. I watched and learned.
