Hi everyone,
Could anyone living in or around Sydney give me an indication of general living costs.
I am very aware of how incredibly expensive Sydney can be (particularly renting near the cbd) and this is why I'd like to get opinions from those already living there.
Understandably this is highly related to ones chosen lifestyle but any input is appreciated.
We are a young couple with no children and have a moderate lifestyle. We also understand that at first things will not be easy but are prepared to work hard to build back up.

Thank you

The main cost will be monthly rent. If you don't share, you can find 1-bedroom apartment (not studio) around $350/week in the outskirts. You should add $150/month for utility (gas+electricity), $250+/month for public transportation per person unless your workplace is nearby, $500+ for conservative living cost etc.

You could check this website for any kind of information regarding any city, data is collected from people settled in those cities. So here you can get the almost exact breakup for everything.
