to be frank... its all comparing first world countries...

i do agree that its away from everything... but the daily expenses, its generally the same as KL... i eat all organic in KL, hardly can find any organic shops in Melbourne... but raw food price wise, its pretty much the same with KL... minus the variety of fishes i get though... and free range eggs and milk are dirt cheap in Australia

clothing it depends, i noticed that expensive clothes (Northface) are cheaper in Melbourne where cheaper clothes (Uniqlo, H&M) are more expensive... when i say more expensive, i meant after converting to MYR... the Northface jacket that i bought for AUD400 costs a farking RM1899 at the Gardens

job depends... if you know people, you are ahead of the game, that's all i can say...

but yeah, luxuries are rare here... hardly see any nice watches on the streets except on Asians and people in Crown

i haven't taken public transportation for quite a while and i think Melbourne is doing a pretty good job so far

there you go

But i think Europe is still cheaper when i comes to food and clothing... bought a Tommy windbreaker for EUR200... older design costs RM1700+ at 1U
coffee is on average EUR2... in Melbourne, its around AUD3.5-AUD4.5

frankly i'd say in Melbourne, service industry is top notch

single income will struggle in Melbourne but its not impossible like in KL

that depends on which industry... but anyway, migration is starting all over anyway...

sole breadwinner

its a struggle regardless where you are... just that PRs/citizens are paying less compared to foreign students
plus with the depreciating MYR, that's definitely gonna fakap your children's education savings if you stay back

every now and then there are hear says... i'd focus on earning money rather on those news...

Brisbane's a lot cheaper then...

i'm eating good in Malaysia and i have the same expectation for Aussie...
A2 1L milk - $2.50 at IGA
free range 800gm eggs - $5 at Coles
a slice of ocean trout, a slice of cod, a slice of perch - $18 at Eastland
250gm coffee beans - $16 at seven seas
6 apples (large), 3 oranges, 4 lemons - $15 at Eastland
i'm paying $140 for 30 days zone 1 + zone 2 myKi

90k single can la... family with 1 kid just ok only, no luxuries like eating out, going for movies, etc

It depends on what job and which part of Australia... and a bit of luck

Saving really need a lot,things are expensive in Melbourne

thinking out of the box is one thing... the bigger thing is having the startup modal for the business... cos you will be spending at least RM100k for that migration, where are you going to get another RM500k for a house downpayment and business start up?

Single is ok, family cannot la...

Also comfortable is subjective, my family (2adults and a toddler) spends min RM500/month on fish only and my son can go to RM160/2 hour class on Saturday... to me, this is acceptable life...

In Melbourne mostly can get cheap fish only... maybe I'm looking in the wrong places

Europe food taste a lot better than Aussie... and cheaper too

by the way... isit just me that think Aussie fish from the market is pretty much tasteless as in no fishy smell and no sweetness in it?

nope... just curious why he specifically mentioned that suburb and company

got that nice mou

Telstra nice meh? shouldn't be any different working in Maxis right?

Really mou

i know people who do that... retire in aussie...

and those who migrated and found a job in aussie so far i know have already applied or is thinking of applying for citizenship so most likely won't be returning to malaysia for retirement
