It may be cheaper to rent a house and cook for yourself. The local rent is calculated weekly, generally 145 Australian dollars/week, and the meal fee is about 70-90 Australian dollars/week (cooking by yourself). If you choose a homestay, the cost will be more expensive, and the school dormitory is the most expensive and very nervous. At present, the consumption level of Melbourne in the United States is similar to that of Sydney. Melbourne in the United States is a little cheaper, but in terms of house rent, the two places are basically the same. So you don't think you need to pay special attention to money when you go to Sydney and Melbourne.
Part-time job: These two part-time jobs are not hard to find. Both are big cities. But they are all manual labor, washing dishes, washing dishes, fast food restaurants or 24-hour convenience stores.
It's hard to say whether you are looking for a formal job or not. Sydney is located in NSW, with a large population, many job opportunities and many international students (especially from China). Of course, the competition is fierce.
Vic Melbourne has a small population, and of course there are fewer job opportunities than Sydney. The hourly fee should be similar.

[household income]
According to the latest data, the average annual salary of Australians is 82,000 Australian dollars/year, excluding 35% personal income tax (starting point is 1.8 million/year), 10% pension, 1.5% medical insurance tax and enterprise annuity. The average monthly income is about $4-5,000. About half of families have wives who are housewives. After all, each family has about 2-4 children, so Australians are not rich.
Moreover, in China, it's not too difficult to be born in a prestigious school and work hard in Beishangguang for ten years with an annual salary of 500,000 RMB. But in Australia, it is even more difficult for it to earn 500 thousand Australian dollars a year. The middle class, with an annual family income of 200,000, is a very good level in Australia.
[lifestyle]
In China, because of Taobao, we seldom buy second-hand goods. However, second-hand goods are very popular in Australia. Some charitable organizations set up second-hand goods stores to accept donations, and some people hold family second-hand goods fairs regularly. For middle-aged and elderly people, it is normal to go to the second-hand market to buy some clothes, daily necessities and DVDs.
Most of the cars are used cars, and basically 95% of the foreign students' cars are used cars. It is also normal for international students to pick up some desks and chairs on the roadside.
consumption concept
Apart from Sydney, the downtown of the United States, such as Wollongong, is a relatively small city, and people don't have high requirements for dressing up. Foreigners wear flip-flops and short-sleeved shorts all the year round, and they don't necessarily meet a foreigner who carries LV. Maximum price MK, coach.
Australians prefer to spend their money on leisure holidays, such as buying a boat, going out to sea on weekends, or going skiing for the whole family or traveling abroad.
Study abroad expenses in Australia
The tuition fees of eight famous universities in Australia are 3.5-50,000/year.
The living expenses of international students are 2000 yuan/month.
Other miscellaneous expenses 6k/ year
In addition to the above, there may be the cost of failing to retake the exam, about 5,000 yuan for a course, other personal hobbies, the cost of electronic products and so on. Therefore, the annual cost of an international student is about 70-65438+ 10,000 Australian dollars.
Daily necessities such as milk and gasoline are actually very cheap, but everything related to labor such as haircuts and car repairs is very expensive, and rents and house prices have been rising in recent years. For the average family, the biggest expense, besides property, may be the children's tuition.
When I was still in China, I thought it was incredible for 10 yuan to buy a cucumber and a can of coke in the supermarket. When I first came to Australia, I changed them into RMB. When I go shopping, I think everything is expensive. I remember once posting a photo in a circle of friends. At noon, two people went to eat spicy milk tea and spent RMB on 180. Everyone left me messages to express their fear of high prices in Australia. As I stayed here longer and longer, I gradually got used to it.
