CatMoose Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi all I'm probably about to start a bit of a debate but ..... I'm working out the logistics for a move back to Australia next year (Covid dependant). I lived in Adelaide for 7 years before returning to the UK in 2017. I didn't keep any old bank statements so I don't recall ball park figures for utility bill costs etc. I know that Victoria isn't South Australia obviously and MUCH will be relative, but some costs are absolute like MYKI etc If there are any single folks out there, are you okay to advise me of to monthly costs? I already know my rent target. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 To be honest, I wouldn't worry too much. One of the huge problems about comparing costs is that some things are much more expensive and some things are much cheaper, and then you've got a difference in salary too. On the whole, if you work on the basis that it all evens out, you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in what single people are paying for utility bills, transport and so on.... helps with then working out rent and commuting options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 A lot of singles live in shared houses. Even professionals in their 30s as it keeps bills low and allows them to save for a deposit in the hope they will one day own a home. This is the case for my eldest in Canberra where house prices and rentals are high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
