COST of LIVING in Australia 2024 | Crisis ba talaga? | PINOY in Australia

Hi to all Pinoy in Australia and to all Filipinos abroad. In this video, I will share our personal expenses in Australia per month/year. I hope this helps you in deciding whether to move to Australia or not. Or even saying goodbye to Australia or not. Expenses are one factor why our fellow Pinoys do not stay or move to Australia.
If you are in the Philippines or other parts of the world right now planning to move to Australia, I hope this may help you in your Australian dream journey. I welcome you in advance as one of the Pinoy here in Australia.

ako i’m a nurse din dito sa australia… i’m planning to retire early sa future to continue the legacy na iniwan ng parents ko. siguro if saan ka my sense of purpose, maximise your potential and yung magagamit m talaga diskarte m sa business/life doon ka . kahit saan basta madiskarte you can survive. you can go back anytime dito naman. at least my option na. that’s my own opinion lang kase yan din gusto ko. masaya talaga kase sa pinas. iba parin yung HOME country! pwede naman balik2x lang if gusto m. dba?! if you have the resources and house na dito why not. it's not how much you earn but how much you save and invest for the future! ❤ Good luck to you kabayan! you can do it! Australia 🇦🇺 is our 2nd home and the best talaga compared to other 1st world countries.

I think you have too many vehicles since you live near the city center. Cars are well known as wealth killers. And why have such a large vehicle unless you use it for business. There's other holes in your budget that you can plug but I'm sure you're aware of that. While I may sound like a YOLO killjoy, every penny saved early in your career and while the kids are young should be invested aggressively. Make the compounding work for you in the second half of your career with the possibility of retiring early.

Akala ng mga nasa Pinas I am rich but it can only be further than the truth. Be careful with migration agent’s advice as their intention is to get money. Better ask regular people. Also consider that migration is very political. I wish I knew that when I started. Good luck. I wish I can save money so I can start a business back home.

@@laamistad1366 bro the cost of living and the rental crisis ang malala dito. Its best if you ask regular people here and not migration agents because agents will try to sell you the “Australian Dream” telling you this and that. Also be mindful how migration is very political so its not necessarily what is needed here, its what works for getting votes. If you are hellbent on getting permanency here, you have good chances if you become a very experienced nurse. Otherwise its going to be extremely challenging. All the best kabayan.

Your house rent is nothing compare the rent here in Canada . 1 bedroom here is $2,500😅 you dont need to buy Pinoy food. It’s expensive cause it’s imported. This the funny thing with Pinoy, in the Philippines they like imported, when they go abroad they like Pinoy food… lalaki nga ang gastos ninyo. Avoid unnecessary things , don’t live beyond your means. You don’t need cable actually fire stick is better than cable lots of free movies and no expenses just buy fire sticks at Amazon, you can watch everything including Disney plus. Eat Aussie food it’s clean , better quality and ingredients. Honestly speaking I never buy Pinoy food even the ingredients cause you do not know what they are using or put.

I live in Darwin NT and paying rent almost 3k a month. Ung problem na tumaas cost of living I believe ay di lang dito sa Australia nangyayari, kahit sa Pinas and other countries. Malaking difference natin is lumaki na dalawang anak ko at nakakatulong na sila sa gastusin sa bahay though my 6yo pako, at ung student visa dati na kapatid ko and bayaw ko jan sa NSW, after long years of working hard night and day, sa wakas ay PR na sila and andito din sa NT. 2 years ago, my son was diagnosed of Stage 1 brain cancer, he was treated imediately and we didnt pay anything, as in nothing sa hospital including his follow up checks and monitoring nya till now. He is back to his normal life na. May sakit walang work, may allowance pa from the government including my other son who stood as his primary care taker. I won't complain, will never complain, sa lahat ng pagod and hirap ko sa Australia dahil its a blessing na nadito ako para sa buhay ng pamilya ko.

I stayed home for the kids, then when kids grew up, my husband stop the other job and I came back to work since kids are in kinder and was able to do a second job as well.

When you do you groceries take time to visit all different grocery shops not just Woolies. ALDI has lowest price options. Compared prices of gas and electricity go for the cheapest alternative provider. You mentioned about your eldest child with medical condition that’s the most important thing to consider moving to Philippines or staying in Australia. Medical bills and maintenance for your child is more expensive in the Philippines.

I think it depends on where you're located in the Philippines. If you're located in the Province life is more comfortable and if your job is into in demand wfh/remote work like digital marketing, freelancing and content creation you will be doing fine in Ph.

You don't need to leave Australia. You just need a second and even better third income stream. I learned right away when my parents moved our family to Canada that the single income household was over and that dual and even triple incomes are needed to be able to meet living requirements, purchase a house and retire comfortably.

Been here for 7 months and it’s really expensive, my rent for a one bedroom apartment unit if converted to pesos is around 148,000. My income is kinda decent but 1/3 goes to rent lang. Dito I learned talaga ang financial management dahil kahit malaki income mo pwede ka pa rin mag petsa de peligro, lalo na at mahal lahat nang bilihin dito.

No, you should not use student visa as a means to enter Australia with the hope of eventually obtaining permanent residency, especially if you are from an economically disadvantaged country. It's important to understand that a student visa does not guarantee a pathway to residency. Foreign student visa is only for financially able people from foreign countries unless you are a government sponsored scholar or relative sponsored student, the tuition fee alone is too high for foreign student and the part time work would not pay much to pay for all your expenses. Some people through strong perseverance were able to make it that way but many international students really face financial difficulties. The situation is a lot worse now because Australia and the world is experiencing high inflation due to wars and oil sanctions. You can not complain of the high cost of living if you are on student visa, since it is not a visa for residency. It will really be very expensive to live in Australia as a foreign student. In my opinion student visa is a scam visa! Yeah you maybe have 3 cars all under financing loan which requires regular car maintenance that makes it a lot more expensive :-(

First you have a better opportunity considering Nurse ka. In Queenstown mas mataas ang minimum hourly rate ng nurses dyan compared sa Nurses here in Victoria (lowest rate of all the state in Australia). When you do you groceries take time to visit all different grocery shops not just Woolies. ALDI has lowest price options. Compared prices of gas and electricity go for the cheapest alternative provider. You mentioned about your eldest child with medical condition that’s the most important thing to consider moving to Philippines or staying in Australia. Medical bills and maintenance for your child is more expensive in the Philippines.

Wrong decision still early to make such decision. Mas ok ang buhay dto as compared sa Phil lalo pa sa mga anak nyo. Health wise free dto sa Aus kung magkasakit kyo. Pag nag sisimula pa lang tlagang mahirap kc nga maliliit pa yung mga anak nyo. Unless me kaya kyo sa Phil pero bkit pa kayo nag migrate dto sa Aus kung ok na ang buhay nyo sa Phil? Try mo sa ibang state ng Australia dto ka sa Melbourne mag work bka magustuhan mo dto. Pag isipan nyong mag asawa ng mabuti bago kyo gumawa ng decision bumalik sa Phil. I weigh nyo ang buhay nyo don at dito kung mag decide na tlaga kayong bumalik sa Phil. Kahit sa Phil mahirap din ang buhay mataas lahat ang bilihin. Pag nagkasakit ka sa atin kailangan me pera ka. Maaring nami miss nyo lang ang Phil don't be too emotional bka ma regret nyo later on ang desisyon nyo. Aus is the best country to migrate. I've been to US I still preferred Aus to US. One thing mlapit ang Aus to Phil khit every year puede kang umuwi sa atin.

[@CeeOlleab388]

Nag-migrate ang mga kapatid ko sa Australia noong 1980's - doon na lumaki ang mga anak nila. Naiwan ako sa Pinas dahil bumagsak kami sa points test. Isa lang ang masasabi nila - iba ang palaki ng bata sa Australia. Hindi tulad dito sa Pinas na may paggalang at pag-unawa sa magulang lalo na pag matanda na sila. Sa bandang huli - maganda dyan habang bata ka pa pero pag dating ng senior years mag-isa ka na lang O sa nursing home ka.

[@angier3905]

​@CeeOlleab388 ang issue dito eh cost of living since ni raised mo ang difference ng kids who grew up here to Phil kids hindi puedeng i compare cla dahil both has different way of life but hindi ibig sabihin they don't respect the elders they do, as a parent of kids here we can't apply how we were raised in the Phil to kids here hindi nla maintindihan. To look after parents here pag tumanda na hindi nla alam yon dahil dito me home for the aged, also being here in Aus for more than 40 years na adapt muna rin ang way of life dto na pag tanda mo sa Aged Care ang bagsak mo. It's ok for me ayaw ko ding maging pabigat ako sa mga anak ko.

sa Pinas 40 pesos /kg ang bigas at hirap ang Pinoy halos isang kahig isang tuka. Dito sa Australia isa sa pinakamurang bigas ($15) ay 600 pesos per kilo pero walang umaaray kahit mga hampas lupang katulad ko. Ang reklamo ko di ako bumibili ng japanese rice na talagang masarap dahil kuripot ako pero kaya ko syang bilhin ng di ako maghihirap. Ang hirap umiwas dito sa masasarap na pagkain dahil very affordable. Kaya naman siguro 7 out of 10 Aussies ay overweight, puro mga butanding. Gagawa sana ako ng video para ipakita kung gaano karaming pagkain ang tinatapon ng mga tindahan dito at the end of each shopping day. malulula kayo.
