My biggest shock was on a recent visit to New Zealand- just as expensive and more than Melbourne. 

I lived in NZ for 4 years, it's definitely more expensive I've just moved to Melbourne and the difference in cost of shopping/ whiteware / beds etc and groceries is remarkable, NZ don't pay as much as Australia I guess population etc but there's a real monopoly in NZ. Do that example a washing machine in NZ I paid 1500 at staff price here in Melbourne you get it for $500 and. I only bought it a year ago. So very frustrating. I personally don't think it's overly expensive here, it can be if you chose it to be like anywhere on the world. 

Ok so yes its more expensive, I'm from the UK married and moved to NZ which is more expensive. Now living in Melbourne. The life style out ways everything. Don't gete wrong you need to afford living which on your wage you will. Aldi for shopping, you cut back until you find your way. Its doable. You'll kick yourself if you don't at least try it.
