How long do you think you can survive with AUD5000 for a single dude, rent room, no lavish lifestyle just venturing out by myself looking to settle down and find job in let's say, Perth?
Below might give you a hint:-
Rent a room (internet, utilities): $150/wk
Groceries: $100/wk
Mobile (service provider only): $10/wk
Clothing/Entertainment: $20/wk
Miscellaneous: $20/wk
Sub-total: $300/wk
So, $5000 will survive thru 16weeks or 4 mths.
This doesn't include u gonna buy cars, fuel, rego, insurance and stuff.
u definitely need a car here coz public transport is hopeless. Budget $2000 get a car, pay rego maybe couple hundred and fuel say $50/wk should be more than enuf.
Once u found a job, u'll stable urself. The initial cost which may be more.
Overall i would say 5000-7000 to bring over
