About forex
Hello Folks,
Wanted to know your feedback of how much forex one need to carry so that to sustain one month in Melb/ Ade/ Syd.
I am talking about single person migrating to such city.
Wanted guidance if one leaves the hotel expenses aside.
Forex => AUD$s + TC's.
Experience Expats from their experience while migrating to a new place...

If you're staying in a hotel, you don't have the facilities to cook your own meals, you'll be looking at spending anywhere between $25 and $60 a day eating out, depending on what and where you eat. If you're staying in a furnished apartment, cook your own food, the meals will probably cost half of what you'd pay eating out. Same for laundry, if you have a washer-dryer in the apartment, that will save you from having to send everything to the laundromat.
If you are renting car, you're paying at least $20/day and then there's petrol and extra mileage, etc. Public transport may or may not be cheaper depending on how far and how often you need to commute in one month.
So hotel expenses aside, you're probably looking at $2000-3000 for the one month, with some allowance for contingencies.
Not too helpful but I've tried...
Cheers,
