Recently, Mercer, the world-famous authoritative company, has released another one.

“2018 Global Living Costs List”!

This list is based on the cost of housing, transportation, food and beverage, clothing and other living expenses in 375 cities around the world.

Analyze and compare.

The rankings of the six major cities in Tuao are simply arguably

Very “not ideal”!

In Sydney, for example, in such a world-class authority ranking, not only fell out of the “top 10”, but even the “top 20” side did not touch!

Only ranked 29th!

And other cities besides Sydney are even more “tough”.

After falling to 50!

Many people see this ranking result, the first reaction estimates are:

How can this be!

Buying a ginger in Australia costs 30 Australian dollars and 1 kilogram. If you rent a house, you will have to go to the knife in January.

I feel that I am burning money!

It’s hard to beat the cities in front of Sydney.

Burn more money? !
.

That’s right!
It is more burning!

Do not believe… you come to see…

Xiaobian has widened his eyes in disbelief:

This…this…this…in the top ten,

What did the heavens occupy? !

Looking further down, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are strong, respectively.

12th in the world, and 15th in the world…

In the “Top 15”, we have 5 cities on the list. The probability of this 1/3 is also said, look at this,

The cost of living in “the world’s best”,

In addition, there are more than N domestic capital cities, and they also entered the top 50 rankings, such as:

Nanjing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Qingdao, Shenyang;

Heavenly children’s shoes,

Are you okay?

After all, compared to many living expenses, more than one Chinese has said that

Looking back at the “price” after returning home, stupid!

Post-tax income comparison

First of all, the so-called cost of living, of course, needs to be considered,

Ratio of income to expenditure;

Therefore, we first calculate the minimum income standards in China and Australia.

Just a few days ago, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) said that

From July 1st, the minimum wage for Australians will rise by 2.4%, which means that a full-time employee’s minimum income for a week,

AUD 672.7 (before tax);
The annual salary is AUD 34,980 (before tax);

Even if you pay the tax, you can get around 30,000 Australian dollars.

Moreover, Australian wages will also help employees pay super, according to the proportion of 9.5%,

You can receive more than 2,000 knives in a year.

Let’s take a look at the domestic minimum income situation, taking Beijing as an example;

The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security announced that since September 1 this year, the minimum wage has been adjusted from 2,000 yuan per month to

2120 yuan per month;

If you reduce another five insurances and one gold, pay a tax, and the last wage you can get is

1355.59RMB/month;

In contrast, Australians’ minimum after-tax income for one week is converted to RMB.

Basically it is twice the domestic minimum after-tax income!

Sydney Minimum Income > Beijing Minimum Income
What is the minimum income? Have the ability to do more than middle income!

Of course, there are small partners who will say that there is nothing like the minimum income.

Middle income level!

According to the latest statistics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the median income of Australia is,

Weekly pre-tax income of $1,261;
Equivalent to an annual salary of 65,577 Australian dollars;

Every month after the tax can get the hand, about 4283.56 Australian dollars.

According to China’s tax collection policy, in the case of deducting five insurances and one gold, an ordinary Beijinger, 40,000 monthly salary, finally arrived,

It is about 28,000 yuan.

If you count the housing provident fund that you and the company have helped you, it is a total of 5,584.32 yuan.

The final price that can be used is 33,579.17 yuan.

Comparison,

Beijing middle income>Sydney middle income

People eat for the sky: How much can you eat?

Meat

Everyone knows that Australia is known for its “small meat and good quality”.

In Australia, the price of one kilogram of beef generally ranges from 15 Australian dollars to 30 Australian dollars, and the average price of meat is generally

More than 20 knives and a kilogram.

In China, with the increasing number of imported meat products in China, everyone is increasingly favoring beef of better quality;

Take the Australian beef on an e-commerce as an example. At the time of the promotion, the domestic Australian beef price,

It is generally equal to the price of Australia;

milk

How cheap is Australia’s milk, people who live in Australia know…

2 liters of 2 knives of fresh milk in the supermarket, do not feel bad when drinking water;

For the Chinese, the quality of milk is like a knife in the heart, for fear of a little bit of safety!

Naturally, milk is gradually rising under the high price of water.

On a e-commerce platform, a box of 250ml*16 box of Terunsu is priced at 90RMB. If calculated in 2 liters,

2L=45rmb;
Equivalent to 9 Australian dollars!

Under this price, the pottery who dares to drink milk as water, Xiaobian respects you as a “sister”!

Lower restaurant

In China, if you choose to eat, just enter the restaurant, even if it is just an ordinary restaurant, per capita consumption of one or two hundred RMB,

Is the most basic…

A bowl of special discount porridge, 10 yuan;
A small cage filled soup, 23 yuan;

Not to mention the “big dishes” in the dinner… there aren’t a few grandfathers, the boss doesn’t let you out of the store…

But when you go out to the library in Sydney, the average per capita consumption is around $35; if you want to be an East,

Three hundred green notes,
Not only can you eat well, but you can eat well;

coffee

The coffee on the street in Sydney is full of fragrance; even a casual breakfast shop on the corner, selling coffee, whether it is taste or price, is not disappointing~

a cup of normal coffee,

The price is about 4.4 knives;

Starbucks coffee costs around 5.6 knives;

Even the star dad, known as the global unified price, went to wuli big China, and the price became inexplicably higher!

Looking around, even the smallest amount of coffee,

There is also almost no less than 30RMB!

According to Mercer statistics, drink a cup of coffee in Shanghai,

It costs about 6-7 Australian dollars;

Milk tea

The biggest feeling of Xiaobian’s returning to China every time is that he didn’t buy it, and Mao’s grandfather didn’t know how to be a few…

I saw a dozen pounds of peaches in the supermarket.
Immediately in situ petrochemical…

A cup of milk tea purchase in the new milk tea network red shop,

50 oceans are gone…

A week later, the same drink was even more up.

85 yuan!

Dividing line

Of course, not all domestic prices are higher than Australia’s.

For example, the following items of living expenses are still more advantageous in our price!

Xiaobian can only say that

It’s a matter of opinion, it’s different from person to person!

Snacks, snacks

Of course, in addition to the daily three meals, foods bought from supermarkets such as fruits, milk, and snacks cannot be ignored.

Especially like the “domestic specialties” snacks and snacks that our Chinese people love most,

Must be cheap domestically!

For example, spicy crayfish;

For example, pickled chicken feet;

For example, a string;

Although these “Chinese specialties” can also be eaten in Sydney, they are always “thin as expensive”;

Therefore, a comprehensive comparison, from the perspective of milk, coffee, dinner,

“Eat” in Australia, more realistic;

From the perspective of Ma Xiao, 撸 skewers, snacks,

Domestic prices are more advantageous;

“Living” is cheap, it is really cheap!

No matter where you are,

Housing is always the need of everyone;

Housing expenses can be said to be the “big head” of the cost of living!

The high or low cost of housing in a city largely determines the price level of the city.

Rent a house

If from the perspective of “renting”,

Xiaobian takes a comparison of Central Park, a popular residential area in Sydney’s urban area, with Zhongguancun, Haidian District, a popular residential area in Beijing’s urban area.

On the Sydney Intermediary website, Central Park, an unfurnished Studio, the price is:

It is about 590 Australian dollars a week.

One month’s rent is,

2360 Australian dollars +!

For the middle class who earn $1,261 a week,

The rent already accounts for more than half of the salary!

Not to mention the migrant workers who earn income below the middle level.

After paying the rent, I will probably drink the wind and eat the soil…

In the studio and near the Zhongguancun in Beijing, there is furniture, or a hardcover room.

The average price per month,
Both are around 5,500 to 6,500 yuan!

SO, for renting a family, Sydney’s high rent is obviously rented by Beijing.

Press on the ground!

Buying a house

But if you don’t choose to rent a house, but choose to buy a house?

that! on! Do not! use! Say! hot!

Although Sydney’s housing prices have always been squandered by Chinese people, they are compared with the housing prices in our capital.

Not worth mentioning at all!

Do not believe, let’s take a look:

A new two-bedroom, two-bedroom apartment with a floor area of 114 square meters in a prime location in downtown Sydney.

The price is NZ$1.4 million.
RMB 7.37 million;

In Beijing, it is also a house with a building area of about 188 square meters in the Chaoyang District of the prime location.

The price is directly over 30 million!

And, everyone knows that Australian apartments are basically renovated, and the owner needs to buy some furniture.

Everyone can stay in the bag;

However, in Wuli Tianchao, more than 90% of the houses are rough houses, which is what they are like:

Water grid line? Make it yourself;
Wallpaper tiles? Make it yourself;
Toilet sewer? Make it yourself;
Kitchen gas stove? Make it yourself;
…………

Of course, you can also find a decoration company to get it; of course, this is certainly not a small fee.

Small is tens of thousands; as large as hundreds of thousands;
Short for a few months; good for a few years;

Although, Xiaobian mentioned above, Sydney, Beijing two houses, location, size, community environment, etc. are not the same,

For reference only;

8, I believe that everyone can already feel the price of Beijing’s house is malicious.

Buying a house in Sydney, you don’t need to pay back the principal for the first few years, you only need to pay interest. For some middle-income earners, save a province, squeeze,

The pressure is not really big;

But for Beijingers with a salary of 40,000 and middle income, they want to buy a house of more than 30 million.

Maybe only hope for the lottery…

Moreover, since it is a home, we must also consider that

The difference between air quality in Sydney and Beijing.

Every winter, early spring and early spring, Beijing’s smog, sandstorms, and popcorns in the city;

For those with respiratory diseases and allergies,

It’s a long torture…

And Australia’s air quality is better than the name of the world.

Get up early every morning, run at night, walk by the sea,

I want to know how to move outdoors!

According to various aspects of evaluation, in the aspect of “living”,

Beijing Housing Costs>Sydney Housing Costs

How cheap is the travel cost?

A city’s convenience index is not high, it depends on the city’s traffic is not developed;

If you want to write a Sydney bus spit sticker, Xiaobian is afraid to write a 10,000-word essay! Because of Sydney’s transportation system,

Really too many slots!

Take the bus

The bus is late at night, and it is called “live for a long time” on time. But even so, many children’s shoes that live in remote suburbs,

I also bite my teeth!

Because for them, only buses can get home.

The train didn’t go there at all!

But hey, Sydney’s train lines are less, it’s also a problem! such as,

When the driver strikes, the entire railway system collapses!

Of course, there is also a transportation fee that is expensive!

Not only is the reaction slow, but it is often easy to brush the card, so people can’t get out of the station…

But even with so many BUGs, the government is still “skinky” and prices are rising every year!

Yes, that’s right…

This year opal card has to increase prices!

The government promised to improve the public system of better, faster and more punctual. With the “great strike” and “substantially late” at the beginning of this year,

Completed into a bubble!

However, the government’s initial “2.4% annual increase” vowed,

It’s never been too cool!

From July this year,

Sydney opal card fares will rise by 2.2%;
Melbourne bus fares rose by 4.7%;
Brisbane bus fares rose by 1.5%;

Xiaobian goes home every day, the train takes four stops, during the peak hours of commuting,

Back home, it is 4.2 knife!

Oh, yes, in transportation, there is another option, called,

Take a taxi!

If you take a taxi, every time you take a taxi in Australia, Xiaobian’s heart is jumping with the meter!

Starting price is 3.4 Australian dollars,
An additional $1.99 per kilometer!

Beijing is the cheapest city in the world’s top ten taxis.

13 yuan within 3 kilometers,
An additional charge of 2.3 yuan per kilometer.

Sydney, will your conscience not hurt? !

At that time, really don’t miss the bus of my big sky!

Let’s first give you a look at the subway route map of Wuli Emperor:

Compare the train map of Sydney:

The gap between them, only Sydney Chinese can understand…

Secondly, let’s talk about the land drop/bus fare of the Imperial Capital;

Although it is not the 1st bus era of the year, when Xiaobian saw “2 yuan for the ground bus within 10 kilometers,” and such a fare list,

I have already been moved by tears…
So, for those who need to travel frequently and have no means of transportation,

Sydney bus cost> Beijing bus cost

Buy a car

If you don’t choose a bus, but drive yourself,

What can’t be ignored is the parking fee in Sydney!

In the Sydney CBD,

Pay $7 per hour during the day, up to $89 for three hours!
expensive! To! cry!

The only consolation is probably Sydney’s used car market developed more mature than the domestic.
