These Are the Most Expensive International Cities To Live In

2. Sydney, Australia

Sydney Australia has consistently been ranked one of the most expensive cities in the world. Rent can start at $400 a week for a one bedroom apartment. Along with the rent costs, apartments that are not fully furnished do not come with washing machines, dryers, or even refrigerators, so expect to purchase one. A lack of competition in areas like grocers means Sydney’s prices can remain high, while a strong economy has unfortunately contributed to rising inflation. These factors are also influencers in Sydney’s high cost of living.
