From home to Sydney, from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere, a lot of people ask me whether the quality of life is good in Shanghai or Sydney under the same income. The living environment and working environment are changed from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere. Many people ask me whether the quality of life is better in Shanghai or Sydney.
At today`s exchange rate of 5.02, the annual salary in Shanghai is about five hundred thousand yuan, and in Sydney it is about one hundred thousand Australian dollars.
Then I`ll compare the price level and the quality of life in Shanghai and Sydney in terms of simple clothing, food, housing and transportation.
1, clothing
People rely on clothing, the expenditure on clothing needs to depend on individual shopping habits.
In Shanghai, if you often buy on a treasure, occasionally visit the mall, then you spend about 1500 yuan a month on clothes, you can keep your wardrobe updated all the year round.
Of course, what is said here is the basic and practical clothing brands, playing cards and brand names are not in the scope of calculation.
In Sydney, a treasure has lost the opportunity to display its talents here. All the clothes are branded, listed in Uniqlo, Zara and some Glue, and so on. Generally speaking, these affordable fast-market fashion brands are not much different from Shanghai in general, at about A $500 a month. Can also satisfy the shopping desire and the replacement clothing demand.
In addition, in luxury goods and brand-name clothing, Sydney should be the final victory over Shanghai.
As we all know, luxury goods have the highest price at home. In Australia, various low-end brands MK, yang mi, the same model, the medium price YSL, to the high-end LV, CHANEL,GUCCI, and so on, in fact, are in sync with the Europe and America on new models. Brands like GUCCI are 30% cheaper than domestic brands and 40% cheaper!
2, food
For senior foodie, the price of food is particularly important!
In Shanghai, if you specifically buy some steamed buns, soy milk, lunch at the breakfast point, business meals, dinner at home, and go out for a weekend meal, count as follows:
Breakfast 10 yuan, lunch 20 yuan, dinner 50 yuan, weekend dinner per capita 100 yuan.
Under the same circumstances, in Sydney, A $6 for breakfast, A $15 for lunch, A $20 for dinner and A $50 per capita for weekend meals.
In terms of food, it costs about 70 yuan a day in Shanghai and $41 in Sydney.
On the basis of 30 days a month, the cost of eating in Shanghai is 2580 yuan (70 yuan 22 130 yuan).
And in Sydney, it costs $1470 a month (41, 22, 71, 8).
Not even delicious barbecue, crayfish, string, want to eat the take-away (many are free of distribution), so it seems that in eating this matter, Shanghai is a bit better.
Three, live.
When it comes to house prices, children in Shanghai and Sydney are distracted and, on the whole, they can`t afford to buy them anywhere.
In general, compare buying and renting:
Shanghai`s house price is famous for high, ordinary commodity house reference price is: excluding school district housing
Inner ring average price: one hundred and ten thousand / flat
Average Central Price: 80,000 / Ping
Inner average price of outer ring: 50,000 per square
Outer average external price: 30,000 per square
On the whole, Shanghai`s average house price is around 40,007, according to August 2018 data.
Sydney`s median home price is A $1.11 million, with an average house price of A $10, 000.
So buy a house in central Shanghai, about 100 square meters of the house about 10 million, Sydney for about A $1.2 million.
If you look at the rent, which is about 100 square meters in the center of the city, the rent in Shanghai is about 9000 yuan.
The monthly rent in Sydney is about $4,000.
So it`s cheaper to buy in Sydney and cheaper to rent in Shanghai.
In addition, median apartment prices in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are at least 15 percent higher than those in Sydney and 50 percent higher than in Melbourne, according to a study by Credit Suisse Group (CreditSuisse).
Meanwhile, Melbourne, Sydney, is paying twice as much rent as three cities north. Because of the geographical location and size of the house, the pattern is difficult to compare, so there is no specific housing comparison.
4, OK
In terms of transport costs, Shanghai`s public transport is undoubtedly much more convenient and cheaper than Sydney.
Shanghai`s one-way subway ticket for about 4 yuan, a month cost 240 yuan, almost negligible.
Sydney`s OPAL card costs up to $15 a day for a weekend of $2.50, and a one-time transfer within 60 minutes.
About $120 a month.
Finally, compared to this, life in Shanghai and Sydney each has its own good advantages, depending on personal preferences and habits.
If you, would you prefer to live in Shanghai or Sydney?
