Typically its AUD$300-350 per week to live
if your doing a share house setup with a flatmate/friend/etc,
once you add various other stuff that pops up
Note average rent is AUD$350 per week for a 3 bedroom 1 story 1 car park 1 bin rental home
in Brisbane/QLD
I remember living to close to Brisbane CITY CBD and
Rent was AUD$85 for a 1 bedroom unit
and getting AUD$550 per week from work
Ive seen the Goverment state force introduction of GST/VAT and Super
Ive seen min wage gone from AUD$15 per hour to 17.50 , 19 and
now typically the average common wage is $25 per hour
and stuff is 3 to 5 times more then it was 20-25 years ago
If America wants higher min wage then $10 per hour
then expect everything to turn out the same as Brisbane/QLD/Australia
3-5 times the cost for everything
