Do you ever feel like the grass is greener? In Sydney? In Melbourne? In any of the other wonderful cities and towns?
Thought this was an interesting reflection on the differences in cost of living between the two major cities, not just in the headline number, but in the breakdown of how people are allocating their $$.

Has anyone here moved cities and felt a big impact to their finances?
When I travel to Brisbane for work, I notice the cost of living is lower too!
Interesting question re thinking about whether the grass is greener elsewhere. I can’t say I think about this as I quite like living in Sydney and make sacrifices, like living at home, to make it work. Ultimately I want to live near the beach, but I think I’d move to Newcastle and be closer to husband’s parents so the rent is more affordable.
