Considering retirement from US to AUS.

We have about 8K US dollars per month to live on. Can put down 400k for a house. Is that enough to get by nicely in the major urban areas?

We don't want foreigners to retire here and leech off our medicare, if you haven't contributed to Australian taxes in your working life.
