I think if I go back for 2months grind my ass off collect welfare live at parents (won't have to pay for anything) and get shredded I'll be in a better spot.
Ok big man you can take this friendly advice any way you want, you seem like a total life fish right now and your plan to go back to your parents and grind while living on welfare is really terrible idea imo.
So many better opportunites available to you back in Australia to sort your messy financial situation out. No idea where about you live but if i were in your situation i would head over to Perth and get a job working construction. Even if you are unskilled you can get a job labouring for around $25 and hour.
You need to smash the work out and play poker on the side. Australia is a terrible place to make a living playing poker as cost of living is so high. You need to take advantage of the high wages instead, Perth is boom town at the moment. If you work hard and show you are keen to learn new skills you could easy be on $35/ hour in under a year.
Do this for the next 2 years while keeping your expenditure to a minimum, cook your own meals instead of eating out, hit up the Burswood Casino and print money off all the drink fish on weekends instead of going out drinking. You should be able to save $1k a week without much trouble.
In 2 years time you could be back in Thailand debt free with $100k in the bank plus whatever poker roll you can grind out in this time. Then you will be in fantastic shape to make a permanent move over there instead being in the sorry state you are in now.
Whatever you dedide good luck but i strongly advise you to think hard about what i said.
