The information is so useful for a ‘’fresh’’ people who just came to the Sydney.
The opal card is the best tip! Sydney public transport was solid, thanks for that tip from your earlier sydney videos as well!
Thank you guys, glad this is helpful. Yup opal card is way easier to take transportation. Before we used to have paper tickets that I always lost it😅

Great itemized breakdown of the true cost of living in Sydney! It's somewhere I've always wanted to travel to/spend extended time in. Travel is the primary driver behind my goal to reach financial independence, and videos like this are motivating, and contextualize how far my money will get me abroad. Thanks for sharing! I just subscribed, keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much 😄
It’s not the best place on earth go somewhere else or get shot in Sydney that happens this vid is woke

Great video guys. Thanks.
Thank you Jeff 🙏
it's really good to know the cost of living there, it helps a lot for people who want to have a vacation or live there 👍👍👍✨✨
Nin is Cooking yeah def not cheap i must visit u in chang mai hehe
I want to go there
I recommend getting a home a bit far from Sydney CBD but not as far as 50 - 80 Km and if you wanna go to the main CBD and enjoy the view you could take the ferry from the local river or take train, bus maybe even light rail which might be rare
Definitely learned a lot from this video, guys!
Thanks guys 🙌🏻
Very good overview
Thank you
Thank you, glad this is helpful 😄
Great guide! You condensed so much information into it. Looking at costs in other cities always makes me think of how expensive London is 😅
Thanks aaron! Gosh I heard London is even more expensive than Sydney 😂
@@nickandhelmi it all depends on the location if your more far away from the CBD it would be much cheaper like you could easily get a 1 bedroom apartment for 150 - 170 dollars and groceries i think woolies is quite cheap if you wanna buy a bag of chips (woolies branded) it only costs about 1.60 AUD and much more woolies essentials are SUPER cheap.
So much good information here guys! Stay safe!
Thanks Ismael, stay safe too!
That was really helpful ,keep it up❤
Thanks so much for watching😊
This information is really cool! All this time, I've always thinking the way I can survive in this city with my family. Surely, Sydney is amaze for take a study. Hopefully, someday we will move here.
Hopefully :))
Hi guys! Another great video! Love seeing how things are in Sydney, and being in Melbourne, I guess quite a lot of things are priced similarly! Since the last time I was renting, seems like Sydney accomodation is a bit higher than Melb. Honestly, our tax is so high here haha! Thanks for the tips and tricks! Haha, OzBargain is something my husband uses absolutely all the time, and we agree that it’s such a good place to find great deals! Thanks for the video! Take care, Alditha
Thanks alditha 🙌🏻 Yup melbourne accommodation is definitely in the cheaper range than Sydndey. Ozbargain is must use website hhaaa, always got good bargain from there 😁
Hello! Good to know about Sydney Australia. So informative ! thank you! 😊
Thank you for watching Nuna 😄
Best talk to an Aussie about Australia.. these people making videos are just for holiday people.. Aussies have a culture and we love beers pubs rock music and sports. we are flooded with asians and indians..
You two have nailed it. You're great presenters, your content is excellent in sound and video quality, cam angles and editing, and (just an idea) if you worked on a bit more detail and strecthed them out to about 30 minutes each - you're not at all boring so it would be very watchable - you could travel the world making a different city each time and make a great living out of this. You're easily, to this century, what Lonely Planet books were to the last century. Start by doing Melbourne and Brisbane, finish off Australia, then head to Europe where any city is a couple of hours away. Don't be afraid to credit sponsors - just make sure they're credible and in line with the honest image you're presenting. You really are the best at this that I've seen, and as you know there are a lot of people doing it. Don't be scared off by the competition - you're the BEST. Well done! :)
Omg thank you so much Colin for your lovely comment 😭 we never receive beautiful comments like this before🙏🏻 Always thought we'll be so boring if stretch out too long 😆 and yes our dream actually to travel & make living from this, right now still working towards it. Again thank you so so much, we really appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ozbargain looks super useful 👍 great video and tips guys
thank you guys 🙌😄
Good to know, im moving to bondi on ocean street in december, so I need to be ready on all this info....
Fascinating
Your video is really helpful 😍
Thank you, glad its helpful🥰
Thank you guys. I like your videos :)
Thank you so much 🥰🙂
A thanks a looot for u guys
Sydney transportation was great!! I loved it 😊💓
Yeah we also think so too
Love this! We never really thought about making a cost of living video and it's super interesting. So nice that you guys decided to put this together! So nice you can drink tap water. I'm always nervous to drink it. The first time I ever did it was in Venice because it was apparently the BEST! We really hope to visit Sydney some day and all of this information is super helpful! Where we are in Bali at the moment. We have been here for 5 months and we actually feel that eating out may be cheaper then cooking groceries. Crazy at it sounds, but if you budget everything out, it works out better though we generally find street food! We also don't have access to a kitchen so we try to make it work. Best of all, we LOVE The OPAL card idea. We generally take public transportation everywhere we go so it works out so well! Some really great tips over all guys! We have watched your whole video to support and just LOVE all of your content.
Thanks so much guys🙌🏻 Tap water in Sydney is safe but I feel Switzerland has the best taste for tap water haha😂 Hope you are doing well in Bali. It should be reopening soon back to normal👍🏻
@@nickandhelmi Yes, but we are actually getting kicked out before opening. So many people here on FREE VISA, last day is Aug 12th. We are fighting to stay.
@@exploreaswego omg 😳 so where u guys off to if u dont get the visa? Hopefully something will sort out🙏🏻
@@nickandhelmi Honestly, We have NO IDEA! We may have to split up and go to different countries, OR we head somewhere in middle east where they take our Passports. Keep you guys posted! Wish it was Australia because that would be so fun
very helpful and komprehensiv danke
Thanks a lot for the video! We're planning to relocate to Sydney and it definitely helps to get a fair idea about what kind of expenses to expect on a monthly basis.
Love from India ❤️
No problem Ishita. Yeay, we're really glad the video is helpful🙏🏻😊
bring in a billion dollars
The weather looks pretty good! 🌞🌈 It's true that you cook by yourself is much cheaper than eating outside hehe 😍💗
Yup definitely 😊
Did you know that in the usa eating outside is cheaper then cooking? Pretty weird but it explains the fat people over there. No offense
Oh really 😮
Nin is Cooking Yes its ridiculous 😂
Something I loved there was that there’s no tax 😂 I also bought Røde mics there cuz they’re cheaper!!! Saved me a good amount of 💸💸
Hahaa well tax included so we don't need to calculate like in US 😄
If it isn’t expensive then why r Aussies going homeless and this country isn’t the place to be didnt show u reality of a Aussie life this is a life of a tourist trying to be Aussie but isn’t and failed
Very helpful. I love Sydney!
Thank you😊
Very good information
Thanks a lot@
Nice info vblog...watching you from Philippines
Very informative video. keep it up...
Thanks so much sanjitha🙂🙏
Informative
Please tell something about ACCA job profiles in Australia
even in other country the fact the we used our skills to have food every day it is really cheaper, I owe you for sharing this very informative lets celebrate together finished ity till the end.
Improving the cooking skills for sure 😁
Very helpful. Sydney is my favorite city❤❤
Glad you enjoy it 🙂
This video is going to be very interesting
I love this kind of data
Heehe😎😎
Great informative video guys visiting Sydney for a month can u do a video on different ride shares and cabs which ones are cheaper etc.
Thank you! Ride share is slightly cheaper :)
The drone shots 😍😍😍
🥰🥰
This was amazing! Please do a follow up
Hehe we will do updated one;)
@@nickandhelmi rockstars! I’m applying for my mba for this fall in Australia so this would be very helpful 🙏🌏✈️
@@WackoWambo yash wish you all the best
Good information you 2 🤗 Sydney is one of the best cities in the world and not as expensive as alot other cities we have lived, having lived and stayed in many major cities around the world we keep moving back here and making another move back at the end of the year 😍we see with covid the rents have dropped quite abit in some inner city areas.If you live in a good inner city suburb with everything you need within walking distance you dont need to have a car, otherwise the transport links are excellent.
Aww thanks so much Dan 🥰 True though its pricey, but Sydney and Aust in general still have good quality of life, we're biased i guess hehe.. hope for smooth moving back here, right on time for summer 🤩
so cool content!
Thank you!😄
Great video. In San Francisco, CA, rent is 1K-3K, gas is $3.50 a gallon.
Thanks christam. Wow gas is way cheaper there😳 rent sounds similar , 3K must be closer to downtown
3.5 gallon usd?
These big cities are good for holiday visits and nights out, we had to move from London to up north were we easily bought a home without stress
I thought London is also quite expensive right🥹
Good price breakdown examples. Daily Farmers, sponsor these guys! Hahaha Ooohh, give me all the Tim Tams!
Ahahaha😂 yeah who can resist tim tams
Oh we used to have Groupon too! But now change to another name. I used to buy through that app for facials or hair saloons! :D
Hahaa great for facials 😏😎
Great info guys! Dang, Sydney is expensive.. good perspective though to compare to NJ, highway robbery over here lol..
hahaha yeah sydney is not cheap at all so glad you find this helpful :)
Hey Nick and Helmi!! So great to see you guys and awesome you're doing a cost of living in Sydney. The prices are similar to living in Los Angeles. Loved checking out the markets where you guys go. The prices seem very comparable as well. The only thing that seems a lot higher is petrol prices. Here it's about $3.50/Gallon, and even that is expensive for where we live.
Yup we also feel the petrol price when we film the video is a bit more expensive. Oh similar prices but AUD currency is lower than US hahaa damnn ;)
Very helpful for me.
Thank you very much
I'm coming soon in Sydney
Love you from Pakistan
Ahhh welcome Hassan😊
Nice coverage of the toilet paper 👍🏻 haha
We love Kleenex brand, but we don’t mind supermarket brand too haha
Hahaa yep as long as it does the job 😎
I'd argue that for a lot of people, a car isn't necessary at all. There's so much traffic in Sydney that even on the weekends, the roads are packed. For road trips or the like, rent a car. You'd save thousands of dollars in the long run.
Yup goget for car rentals are good option too. Always depends on people necessity for cars 👍🏻
I was thinking to have a vacation in sydney BUT the expences are the same when i spent money in my current place. Haiyaa🤯
Thankyou for the information😇
Hahaa😆 Sydney is beautiful tho for holiday & live but yeap def not cheap like neighbour Asia countries 😊 we might do travel to sydney for budget video, suitable once borders open 🌟
Thumbs up! Great video as always Nick and Helmi :)
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!!
You’re right - Sydney ain’t cheap! High taxes too. But seems like a nice quality of life
Yup agree on that, pretty laid back compared with say NYC 😅
I am impressed, coffee, 3.50 AUD, here in Canggu, Bali, a cappuccino is 45000 rupiah, that is 4.34 AUD... great guide. Thanks for all the info😊
Glad it is useful elena😄 well yeah a lot of other places charge higher than $3.50 :)
We found gas to be pretty fair in Australia, paying about $1.30 per liter in Melbourne. New Zealand was crazy though!
Yess somehow petrol in NZ is way higher especially more remote towns 😆
🙏❤️🙏 👨🏻🎓📚👩🏻🎓 excellent video 👍🏽 👍🏽 ( only the background music is too loud 😩 )
Wow nice 👌
75K is the average? Not bad! Taxes can be pretty high over here too. Rent prices are about the same here.
Aww i see good to know too guys
I would LOVE to visit Syndey!
Yesss come one day😄
How much Changes in the cost or in simpler terms, what might be the inflation in that as per today. Can you make a similar video for the current time?
Thank you
Aww welcome raphael 😊
Bruv, like I’m not an intellectual or nothing but I mean I am half Australian so if I ever moved to Sydney I think this would help out so much.
In Singapore, sometimes cook at home can be more expensive. Maybe because we buy better quality ingredient.
Yeah when i used to live in SG, never cook 😅 eating out is cheaper loll
Bargains are our jams too. More money to travel. Haha Gumtree is actually a brunch place over here. Hehe Groupon is great !
Yup so true more money for travel haha😎
We used Groupon a lot when we were in the US
Really great over heren👌🏻
It is always good to see you guys. Great saving tips :) These guys should sponsor your channel!!
Thanks man 🙌🏻haha i wish one day😎
Where I live in Canada, food looks comparable, electricity and a phone is significantly cheaper in Sydney. Car insurance is lower, but gas is more expensive. House prices and rent is where Sydney kills ya. 1m+ for a 2 bedroom condo larger than a closet. I could buy 3 houses here for that. 2000 a month for rent is like a penthouse suite downtown. Also australia taxes are significantly higher.
Interesting to hear from Canada thanks Genevieve 🙌🏻 Yup so true 2bedroom apartments in good location closer to city can be 1mil+ 😆 so yeah Sydney's property (buy/rent) is the killer so most of income just to pay that rent/mortgage 😭
hello, could you share some Canadian rent/buy property websites? thanks
It was great you guys explained some of the different accommodation .. houses, apartments, etc. We can't imagine how expensive it is to live right in the CBD area. The spot you guys went to for breakfast looked like a really great place, and you can't go wrong with avocado toast.. You know that's a Cali thing right?? HAHAHA
no wayyy that's aussie thing smashed avo toast LOLL
Thanks for the video, coz our family is going to move there, but dunno how is the Covid 19 situation now there? Hope is safe to move there soon :)
Thank you, glad it is helpful 😊 Sydney still have cases here, some in hotel quarantine and some in community but give few months, hopefully all good 😄
well safe as long you get home until 5 pm after dark there is always rat bags hiding in corners
Those are good tips to save some money
Hehe thank you😄
Thanks for sharing good guide ...
😂🙂
Thank you, glad you enjoy the video 😁
Rent is a bit cheaper than NY
The same in NY, landlords pay for water, but everything else is on the tenant
Unless you get this included in a deal
Oh yeah i heard NYC is crazy expensive for accommodation
We were cracking up when Nick was talking about how "soft" you want your toilet paper LOL!! Extra soft please.. Min 2 ply for sure!! You don't want that sticking to the neither region LOLOL!! Great resources and links for visitors, using ferry or trains. We would totally take the ferry just to get the views of the Sydney Harbor. Butters was drooling when she saw those Tim Tams... her favorite!! Great video and love you guys to the mother effin' moon!! 🙏🏻💖🌛🤗😘
HAHAHA ok yes extra soft it is lolll yup even us, would love to just go in ferry during weekends, really beautiful. Thank you so much girls :)
