The cost of groceries is going up by 15% by year’s end. Head to markets near closing times to get fresh food bargains. In Melbourne, I recommend: Queen Victoria Market, Footscray Market, Prahran Market, Springvale Market and Dandenong Market.
If you are living in a house or own your own home 1or 2 people the minimal cost of electricity is about $60 per week, & water is about $40 ,gas about the same as water ,& average council rates these days is close to $2000 per year.
We have family of 3 ( 1 toddler ) + 2 visitors ( in-law ) . So , we have to pay 2 seperate private health insurance which cost extra $ 600 . In additional, registration fee, membership fee, subscription fee etc .
G’Day, not bad, not far off the mark except for the utilities, I pay around $200 a month for electricity but I live in a 3 bedroom house, unfortunately. Believe it or not but over a year ago I was paying $700 a month until I got them to put in a new water heater. Cheers & Stay Safe.
You do a great job on your videos. I’ve just watched a few and you come across as a very smart, caring person 👍 I did notice that some of the things you have mentioned about Australia, being punctual, being polite, respecting people from different cultures/backgrounds were things I thought most people did and it was just the odd exception who didn’t. It seems it’s different in your home country 😔
Family daycare is cheaper than regular childcare so explore that. Extra curricular activities cost quite a bit. We pay $180/month for our eldest's martial arts.
That sounds expensive when considering the average salary. It sounds like a Family of 4 cannot live a decent life when only one parent is working on a average salary. Is that right?
Fair enough, you have a good point. I guess it's assumed that because it's Australia, everyone will know that we're talking about AUD. But I can definitely understand how it can create confusion. I'll remember to clarify next time. Thanks for your feedback :)
Gosh! sounds mad expensive to live over there.....😕I wonder if I could make it out there as a single person 😕 What about jobs? what jobs are over there that may help a foreigner to live over there? And can you talk about in your future videos about someone retiring to live over there? Oh!, and what about if you have a mentally ill family member ....how does your country, Australia handle challenging persons living in your country ?
Very good and helpful video, as always🥰👍. Do you know about the cost of living in Bne? Its cheap or expensive? In the next video you could make it about buying at Coles and/or Woolworths and their costs.
This leaves me with one question. How are people is Australia still alive. A family of 4 is costing more than the average earnings of the two parents combined
@@livingsimplyaustralia hi... What about a family of 4, 2 adults and a 6 year boy and a 1 year girl... Do you think It is possible to get the visa and working permits?
Because Australia is a different planet.. 😂 Far from everything.. so most items are imported. Mostly rocket ships are used in transporting these items.. 😂
Hi! I have a few videos on that - th-cam.com/video/VxOmr0Z-8pc/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/d-vCU_9dFpg/w-d-xo.html - sometimes the price for furnished apartments may be the same as un-furnished because it's more convenient to the owner, or sometimes it may go up a tad, but there's not much difference - and the size and amenities of the one-bed apartment will also determine the pricing. Highly recommend checking out those vids to get an idea on how to look for rental properties according to your requirements.
hi! yes, this is an average across Australia. Sydney may be slightly higher prices, particularly rent. I have a few videos on how to calculate these costs yourself according to your situation/preferences/city - How to calculate your grocery costs (create your trolley) th-cam.com/video/wPXadQOd1ys/w-d-xo.html and How to calculate your rent costs th-cam.com/video/d-vCU_9dFpg/w-d-xo.html - hope this helps :)
Hello Martina! I hope you remember me from previous videos :) My girlfriend and I we just arrived to Sydney! Finally we’ve made it🥰 I would love to ask you a few things about life here. Like where to look for fridge or washing machine to our flat 😂 if you could somehow chat with me a little I would appreciate that so much. I have sent you a message on Instagram, but it seems like you blocked all the outside messages. Is there any way to contact you? ☺️ Thank you!
Hi!! yes of course I remember you guys - glad you made it and hope you like it here :) I didn't realise I did that with the messages! (the account is new, still need to set it up properly). I'll try to see how can I fix that. In the meantime, I highly recommend checking out Facebook Marketplace for buying appliances. Usually they are second hand and much cheaper and excellent quality (all my appliances got them from there and still working well after years! - make sure to ask the seller for the warranty papers). For new items, have a look at Harvey Norman but a bit more $$

What do you mean by closing time?
@@Australia-pn7dk , if you get there near closing time, you can source discounted fresh produce!
@@behemothsbaby ah you mean closing time of the shops. Thanks!
@@kuroimami9782 , you don’t bargain but you grab bargains nearing closing times…
quite detailed, an overview of the cost of living in Australia for immigrants living in Australia. this is quite helpful, thank you

This is such a helpful expense guide for people who start living in Australia. Thank you so much
You do a great job on your videos. I’ve just watched a few and you come across as a very smart, caring person 👍
I did notice that some of the things you have mentioned about Australia, being punctual, being polite, respecting people from different cultures/backgrounds were things I thought most people did and it was just the odd exception who didn’t. It seems it’s different in your home country 😔
You can make another one with updated prices as inflation in Aust is so rampant.
you won't get a studio or 1 bed room apartment for $300 in Sydney or Melbourne these days, you are looking at $400+ per week
This which city you live in makes a drastic difference.
This is a very good computation!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Family daycare is cheaper than regular childcare so explore that. Extra curricular activities cost quite a bit. We pay $180/month for our eldest's martial arts.
Your accent is delightful.
When I was a student I find vegetables and fruits expensive in Australia. So fast food and processed food is the way to go
Nicely presented and thanks for including everything
Thanks for the information 🤗❤️
Thank for you given detailed information about Australian immigration info...have a nice day ..tc
Thank you for your video. Have a Blessed day.
I'm new subscriber your Chanel from Indonesia, thanks for all your information. This helpful, I'm very interesting work and holiday to Australia.
Thank you. You are very helpful with your research.
Thanks for the info.
300 a week for a stuido, try 600 - 700 now
Great content!!
Everything is about 30% more expensive than what you have listed 😊
Liar
Thanks for this video. I am moving to brisbane Next month and it really helps me. Keep going!
I’m yet to see a 1 bedroom for $300 I would say average is 380 - $450 in Canberra
I am single but I receive 3050 dollars every month so it’s a little different and i live in Sydney which means my rent goes up to 500 dollars
Average salary is closer to 90k. The median salary is 62k
I think she's talking in USD
I am a Software Engineer working remotely now, I moved to Portugal about 6 months ago, how can i move with ease to Australia, i have always loved it
Try to find some company that will sponsor you and you can easily move to Australia directly through work visa
Thank you for this!
That sounds expensive when considering the average salary. It sounds like a Family of 4 cannot live a decent life when only one parent is working on a average salary. Is that right?
I want to come to Australia and wen i come I will visit you thanks for the work you do
When you mentioned gas? Is that for a car? Or house heater?
Public transport very expensive
Yes Sydney is getting expensive every year and public transport is getting bad
Now it’s 2023, with these prices, I would rename this title as: How To Live Miserably in Australia 😂
Thank for this very informative & cleanly edited guide, but why does no one in these types of videos specify wether they're talking about USD or AUD?
Fair enough, you have a good point. I guess it's assumed that because it's Australia, everyone will know that we're talking about AUD. But I can definitely understand how it can create confusion. I'll remember to clarify next time. Thanks for your feedback :)
Why on earth would the prices be in USD when she's talking about life in Australia??? Does that make sense to you?
@@373.S because when when we compare countries we use USD. Thanks for clarifying
Gorgeous Spanish girl. It reminds me of Canary Islands when I go on holiday.
I will move to Sydney in 3 months time, Give me some suggestion i need to know more about Sydney
soon im coming there
This is Australian Dollar or American dollar

No worries!

Hi, I need an update for the cost of living at2024😅
You can watch the most recent one here th-cam.com/video/2Whz8YzVWVs/w-d-xo.html
Why so expensive. Is there any reason for that?
Because Australia is a different planet.. 😂 Far from everything.. so most items are imported. Mostly rocket ships are used in transporting these items.. 😂
@@AgentAO7 dat tru 😎.
australia have the highest pay ..that might be the answer..higher pay higher cost living
What did you expect from a country with a relatively high quality of life and surrounded by the oceans all around
how much is the rent for 1 bed furnished apartment in melbourne cbd?

@@livingsimplyaustralia Thanks so much
as i once said if you vote the major parties in Australia what do you expect ????
Better earn higher than 62k/year if you planning to have kids, otherwise you just having enough to live by and can't save much.
Is it USD or AUSD??
AUSD
This is way not accurate. Rent is very expensive.
hey
how ur doing
can you tell me that is it same for NSW sydney..??? I am planning to move in. Please replay

@@livingsimplyaustralia Thanks...it will help a lot....Happy weekend..!
Please label this video as a shoe string budget living in australia
Not to much different from USA
Nah it's very different. Aussies ain't religious like in the States and they're not obsessed with guns either, so they are nothing like seppos
To sum up, its extortionately expensive and overrated. Go to SE Asia, better vibes.
