* This is only the living expenses statistics of a non-rich second-generation international student in Melbourne. If you are well off, please ignore this article.

house rent

This score

Living in the suburbs: 150 all week. I definitely have my own house, but commuting cost is not low. I'll talk about this later.

Living in the city: that's more. Poor living room and study are also 150. If the conditions are better, 200+ for one person and one room, or sharing. Take the whole thing as an example, studio is the cheapest, around 220 is the basic price, and the expensive 250 is also available. If it is a one-bedroom apartment, it will rise to 350.

How much is it a month? Divide by 7 times 365 and then divide by 12.

Hydropower network

My water bill has been kept at around 1 10 for the last three months. At that time, it was used by three people, so the next person was only a dozen dollars a month.

Electricity is very expensive, especially if your apartment uses electricity to heat hot water and cook. But according to different power companies and personal habits, the cost varies from person to person. If you insist, you will definitely have 40 yuan and 40 yuan in a month.

The internet fee is the same, and there is a big difference. In Australia, traffic is generally calculated. Basically, the general price of 250G is 60-70 USD per month. Two or three people eat more than enough.

have a meal

This is also divided.

Do it yourself, a meal of 4-5 knives is definitely no problem, and it will be more reliable to share it with others.

Going out to eat, basically a meal is now in 10- 12, and there is a cheap meal of 6-8. I want a drink with 3 yuan. Want to eat something good, 15 knife, 20 knife is not bad. This is the price of a meal for one person.

The price of meat is similar to that of vegetables, and the price of fruit is calculated by season. For example, at present, the grape supermarket in Melbourne is 3.5 kg. If you go to the market to buy it, 1 USD 1 kg.

If you have a good habit of going to the vegetable market once a week, it will be much more reliable and much cheaper.

short distance transportation

If you brush the fare, it's 3.5, round trip 7.

Trams, trains and buses are all the same. Going to school by train every day is not a small expense.

Say something else.

fitness room

Australia's fitness industry is very developed, and many students are edified to start fitness. Gyms in Melbourne are almost everywhere.

It can only be said briefly here that the price of each gym is not the same, but the basic students will be in 35 yuan for two weeks.

Except the school's own gym, other gyms have to pay an extra 70-80 yuan entrance fee, and sometimes activities can be exempted.

air ticket

The knowledge of return air tickets is relatively large, so I won't discuss how to buy them cheaply. Only the basic expenses are mentioned here.

Generally, you can buy a special round-trip ticket to China, and it must be 800-900 yuan. Usually 1000+ knife round trip.

do part-time jobs

Generally, the hourly employment rate is 10- 15 yuan, which is basically around 12 yuan, and 15 yuan is considered as a' high salary'.

It should be noted that the minimum wage in Australia is 18 knife per hour, so paying 12 knife and 15 knife are basically' black workers'. As I am a black worker, I ignored the 20-hour limit on my visa. I think how long I want to work depends entirely on how my boss arranges shifts.

If you are lucky enough to find a permanent job, the minimum wage is still around 15 yuan.

If you work hard, the cover living expenses are still ok, and the rent is a bit hard. After all, the cost of failing a subject is 3-4 thousand yuan.

abstract

I used to keep accounts, and I have been keeping accounts with credit card bills since I came to Australia (you can download excel format directly from the Internet).

I have been renting a house with my girlfriend, so there is no reference. Actually, it depends on the concept.

First of all, my rent is 1600 yuan for one month, and the living expenses for two people add up to 700-800 yuan. In some months, eating out may surpass 900 yuan.
