Nicely displayed spending habits stats by Aus gov

[planningahead]

Hi everyone

I recently found this link which has a nice summary of the spending habtits of Australians. It displays Aussie spending habits by different state; spending categories (beauty, groceries, travel, etc.); lifestyle stages (single, couple, married with children, etc.); etc.

I found it really useful and it might help you understand better where your money would go to once you move over

GDay, can you share information on car, home and personal insurance costs.

Hi Shabani

Unfortunately I do not have that information. We only recently started to consider immigration (and only in about 3 year's time) so i found this link just by browsing around.

We want to be fully informed and prepared by the time we lodge our visa application

Not sure how independent their views are as they may receive payment for referrals.
