Cost of Living in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺

[@bella95]

Between $100 & $165 a month for electrcity, water and heating 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 dream on....

[@vvjp5732]

That is normal for apartments in the city.

[@joodlesbrockhus1664]

As someone who lives in Melbourne and lived in the inner city I can confirm that's a kite dream to be paying that amount. For utilities in AUD you have your basic service charges for gas and electricity so my tiny apartment cost for gas and electricity was $280 per month. My internet is $120 per month and my phone is $70. Depending on your landlord and the property meters water can be included but if not put another $120 per month on top.

[@bella95]

@@joodlesbrockhus1664 Yeah it's expensive and will get worse as we go along.

[@savi6545]

She said per week

[@hamishfullerton7309]

​@joodlesbrockhus1664 wow that does seem reasonable dear for apartment because in Melbourne the heating cost you a lot

[@georgebronte840]

She said, "apparently it costs..." So she hasn't even been to my city, but knows so much that she feels she can advise us? The audacity!

[@Ree2mz]

Where’s the advice? 😂

[@georgebronte840]

​@@Ree2mz0 ~ 0:47

[@44fall4]

shes right though lol

[@MikeKulls2]

​@@44fall4I think the statement the public transport isn't very good isn't correct. A lot of people complain about it but for $7AU a day you get unlimited travel on trains, trams, light rail and maybe buses. The trams around the city centre are free and there is a subway which we call the city loop. You can travel to some regional areas on the same ticket. The down side is it stops around 1am and Melbourne is quite spread out so some areas aren't covered too well. But for someone living in an inner city apartment I would imagine it would be excellent

[@rii3053]

​@MikeKulls2 you could even take buses for free if you're lucky bcs they don't monitor the ticket scanners

[@yotetoob]

You can't live in Melbourne, we're in a bloody housing crisis

[@Ree2mz]

The whole world is

[@Mirzaraza]

Are you in Melbourne @ree2mz, would love to see a comparison between Canadian cities vs Australian cities

[@imacat8476]

And yet australia has one of the worst in the world ​@@Ree2mz

[@MrDeano-eu9rg]

​@imacat8476 yep, stop voting Labor or liberal, these grubs are hogging the houses while allowing foreigners to both flood here AND buy houses by outbidding locals

[@davidlang1125]

She said “the transport system isn’t the best over there”. What is she talking about?!?!?!?! She’s never been to Melbourne - she’s talking through her hat. Find me an American city with a better transport system. I dare you! Look elsewhere for reliable advice. This one’s a dud.

[@Karma_866]

Agreed man. I studied in Melbourne and never felt the need to own a car. Public transport is very reliable and quick.

[@fuzzylotus]

Inner city trams are free

[@katebabyboy3665]

Sorry I know this would be too much but pls do these: 1. Halifax Canada 2. Adelaide Australia 3. Perth Australia 4. Sunshine coast Australia 5. St John's New Brunswick

[@Sagealeena]

Adelaide and Perth are way cheaper than Sunshine Coast. Perth is very isolated though and doesn’t have as many good jobs in industries other than mining. Adelaide I don’t know as much about, it has cheaper house prices but it doesn’t have as many good jobs, there’s also just not much to do there. Sunshine Coast is nice but has gotten very touristy, and some areas have gotten completely unaffordable

[@siegfriedhecker3473]

You need to do a ratio of cost to earnings. As this makes the difference in affordability. You need to cover minimum wage and mode.

[@LauraMoyaLocalMortgageBroker]

I wonder how long ago this video was posted? I’m in Melbourne 🇦🇺 commented November 2023. These prices seem very low.

[@N1me123]

As someone who lives in Melbourne, the cost of living is terrible. To the point where I saw REGULAR strawberries being sold at $13 😅

[@jareddiamond6607]

Sydney and Melbourne are our 2 biggest cities. Both feature in the top ten most expensive cities to live in in the world 🌎 plus 20$ will buy you a souvlaki and coke.

[@thanksmicky8189]

Where? Haha

[@maxhatush5918]

Kebab and coke. Souvlaki on its own is at least $25

[@nathanbarker2809]

People also forget how much of an overvalued real estate country it is. Out of 26 million people, per year, the federal government receive more than 6billion in tax revenue from poker machines across pubs and clubs in nsw and Victoria.

[@philcahill2382]

Absolute rubbish. The only thing here that is remotely close is the rent.

[@jamesmccarthy4777]

Transport is actually great in Melbourne. Way more than most American cities can dream of but not as good as Japan or Europe. But you're on point with the cost of living crisis here. It's what should really scare people away from Australia. Spiders and snakes are the least of their worries here.

[@nathanbarker2809]

That is a complete lie. You forgot that the one bedroom is a shared apartment. Australia is actually more expensive than America. Wages are also lower in Australia for professions than America. Fuel is more expensive in Australia. Food is more expensive in Australia. Alcohol is more expensive in Australia. Cigarettes are more expensive in Australia. “A shit box Toyota Hilux utility - 2013 is the conversion rate of what you pay for a 2017 - 2018 dodge ram in America.

[@jacbui-d3y]

But the wages much higher than north American

[@bendalgleish8312]

I don’t know about you but I live in Melbourne and only pay about $60 AUD in groceries per week. Just learn how to budget and cook meals from scratch.

[@alexmali1466]

At the moment my empty property 50 k from Melbourne CBD spent 14 $ drinking and 3 $ recycled water and my bill is 368 $. I thought it's a mistake so I've called customer service.She goes:Water supply charge,maintenance, sewage,parks bla,bla ,bla + GST . It was quick hang up before she discover I'm undercharged.

[@thanksmicky8189]

You missed the bit about the traffic being fucked!!

[@DC180]

and if you like to have a cocktail, its now gonna cost $25.

[@pamlister452]

Do your research better

[@dgondavies1472]

no you need 1500 to 2000 to live ok. i make 1300 a week and its not enuf rent is like 400 500 a week any less than a 1000 a week and you will go hungry lol

[@asifahammed7689]

Are you making 1300 after tax or is it before the deductibles? I got a similar job offer and would make around 1400 after tax

[@abidejesus800]

Oooops pls check your facts 🥹🥹🧐

[@ieltsking]

no not north america canada is out its expensive , usa ya may be because the $ is strong for now wait for it to start free falling in some year

[@rnldmanuel88]

When she said Melbourne i cringed it sounded like that gps voice.

[@danielharrison6359]

Practically nothing in here is accurate 😂

[@alexlecute]

Why do they say Australia is more expensive than Canada? All these prices are lower

[@thosoz3431]

Utter BS Trams are free in the CBD Ubers everywhere. Trains and busses also. Housing crisis means getting a rental is near impossible.

[@duckpaints]

you know that Melbourne city is a free tram public transport area

[@abhibhandari774]

Haha after watch this video I feel like wasted 16 years living in Melbourne bcz I dont know if she really talking about Melbourne 😂

[@taylor....]

Wish she would make up her mind about USD or AUD

[@singhsaab20237]

Australia have minmum wage $24 part time full time no one work less then $30 that is casual pay saturday 1.5× pay sunday double pay. Any full time minimum wage earner earn somewhere between $75000 to 85000 depend if you work weekend or not. meanwhile in america $40,000 same pay 7days aweek not paid holidays whereas in australia 5week paid holidays 2week sick paid leave all figures in Aud.

[@jspau]

Lol minimum wage workers don't get $80,000 per year. If you actually do the calculation it's $45,800. That's the minimum a full time worker can receive.

[@jspau]

This is pretty nonsense. $150USD per week for groceries for a single person? I pay $100AUD per week and that includes food for me, my partner and our 40kg dog. Where is she getting this from?

[@tabishfarrell4084]

This was really well made! Surprised it isn’t more popular. Keep it up!

[@Ree2mz]

thank you so much 💗🙏🏽

[@Ree2mz]

Thank you so much 💗🙏🏽

[@VSV659]

Young lady, what you have is quite informative but some global cities are way off the chart compared to Melbourne, a city I know reasonably well.

[@jyanharris7957]

WTF Australia was established as a prison colony by the British and now it's this expensive to live there!! Smh!

[@LivingOrganismFromMarsAndVenus]

1200-1700 per month or per week?

[@abhijitnayak48]

Have you been to Melbourne ever.???

[@piumasamaratunga7458]

Let me know which city to explore next.. Me: sis you need to actually explore Melbourne and redo this 😊

[@_violet_xoxoxoxo1]

I live in Tasmania but my grandpa lives in Melbourne

[@evv1215]

Melbourne cost of living is a joke . Utilities is easily $200+ Rent of apartment - if there available and you or your daddy can pay for it

[@rjrod1326]

Wow I pay 2500 in Los Angeles for rent alone. I should move to Australia.

[@tamb8970]

She got the figures all wrong ….. I wished it was that low in rent !!!! And our tram runs free in the cbd.

[@williamweir1547]

Don't forget your vaccination passports and masks. Especially for the next corona virus outbreak scheduled for December 2023

[@johneagle2100]

Yeah sure it is. Have any proof of that?

[@eleven8338]

Yo bro what do you eat for 150usd a week for groceries

[@deep_k1ng]

Transportation is really good tbh. 😂

[@thedarkninja5888]

Do u live in Melbourne?

[@NorFam]

I appreciate your effort.

[@Ree2mz]

I appreciate that!

[@FORTISIAKING]

I think you need to earn $500k a year to live comfortably in Melbourne 🤣 otherwise the city basically drains your money unless your sharehousing it like myself🤣

[@jwcwyoutube]

*Experience all over Australia and the External Territories, and than compare standard of living.*

[@BettyBettyBoBetty]

now compare the wages

[@RijuA1984]

Usd ? Or AUD ?

[@N9251.]

The transport one is very wrong 😂

[@zone6976]

How good is it?

[@fulldakait1408]

USD makes so much sense in Australia. Ur just so stoobid

[@mira.9162]

Much more than that, 165 is cheap

[@ryno1808]

Were not living in the early 2000s anymore. i think you talking about what you heard in your mother's womb still

[@LayeeODonzo]

Wow..

[@evv1215]

[@Game_things]

So true

[@cmj5745]

1200 1700 to rent a apartment? Where are you getting this price from crown?

[@laetifico]

I think it's a monthly reference? I noticed Americans tend to refer to their rent in monthly but refuse to ever clarify that.

[@manavverma425]

😮😮 nice

[@Ree2mz]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@DJTrinivibes4U]

😍😍

[@Mindofuche]

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL❤

[@Ree2mz]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@manupotliya]

😅its fake information 😅😅

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

You would need to be making 6k+ a month to be able to afford to live . 2500 a month you would be living below the poverty line😢

[@laetifico]

What are you doing with your money? 2500 is livable for one person if the place you rent isnt nice or you have housemates

[@TheSluglie]

yeah but it means you have to live in melbourne, i would rather live in bloody frankston and thats a shithole

[@manupotliya]

Fake news and rummer I am literally lived here long years its affordable 😅😊😊
