Costliest Cities in the World...
The lifestyle and the cost of items required for daily use are the indexes which determine which is the most costly city in the world. In other words the standard of living in these expensive cities is very high compared to others which sets them apart. The main items that can be considered for evaluating the standard of living in these cities include transport, food and drink, cost of residences, rent of residential apartments, clothing and utility charges.
The cost of
living in these cities is also dependant on the fluctuations of various
currencies of each country in relation to the major currencies of the world and
price changes that takes place in these countries which affect the economy.
Some of the most expensive cities in the world at present are given below...
Singapore...
Singapore...
This city has dethroned
Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, as the most expensive city in the world to
live in. The biggest factor which makes Singapore the most expensive is the
cost of transportation. Owning a car is a very costly affair as the price that
has to be paid for buying the car is quite steep as it includes a lot of fees.
Cost of transportation is almost three times the cost of transportation
prevalent in New York. Furthermore, Singapore is a city-state which does not
have any mentionable natural resources. This makes this city dependant on
external sources of power and water.
The cost of both these utilities has
pushed up the cost of living here. Garments and clothing are also very
expensive here.

Paris...
Paris...
After Singapore, France’s
capital Paris is the most expensive city in the world to live in. It is also
known as the fashion capital. It is very difficult for a person with a modest
source of income to live decently in Paris. Whether it is food, housing,
clothes, transportation or personal care everything costs much more than what
you can get in many other cities. Clothes, books and electronics goods are
costly as well as groceries and gas.
The average income is comparatively very
low than in US and with the higher cost of living Paris is a quite an expensive
place to stay in Europe.
- Oslo...
Oslo, the capital of
Norway, can be ranked as the third most expensive city in the World. Most of
the things cost almost twice as much compared to the cost of the same items in
New York, e.g. you have to pay almost double the amount for a can of soda in
Oslo than when you buy the same can in New York. Only real estate prices are
more in New York compared to Oslo.
But as the prices of common items required
in day-to-day life is higher in Oslo it is quite expensive to stay in this city
whether you are a permanent resident or a frequent visitor. This is true for
the whole of Norway whose per capita GDP is one of the highest in the world.
Zurich...
Zurich in Switzerland is
the fourth most expensive city in the world. Though taxes here are low compared
to other cities, the cost of food, services and insurance are quite high. The
average income of a working person is high which increases the purchasing power
also. This means that the person is able to buy products made by foreign brands
more easily than people in other cities.
Compared to other European countries
the prices of all kinds of products and services are high. Clothing and
entertainment costs more here as well as does healthcare. Though petrol is
cheaper compared to some European cities the cost of owning a car is much
higher than in other cities.
Sydney...
Sydney is the capital
of Australia. House rent in Sydney is quite high which makes this city the
fifth most expensive city in the world. Items of daily use like groceries,
prices of utilities, expenses required for keeping your mobile operational and
things like that produce an expensive picture of this Australian city.
The
areas around the beaches and in the central part of Sydney are usually very
expensive if you want to set up your accommodation in these areas.
Transportation is expensive as the cost of petrol is high here compared to
other cities in the world. Basically due to transportation, every other thing
also becomes costly.

So, here are the five best ones...
- Being a specialist in Computer Support...
The computer age has brought in a
huge potential of opportunities to the people of all ages. The initial world of
computers in offices and industrial complexes has broken its bounds and spread
all over the place by coming into homes and residences of common people. As a
matter of fact personal computers and laptops have invaded homes in such a way
that you cannot think of a single living day without one of them.
This has
opened the biggest job opportunity for both hardware and software professionals
because without them they can easily break down. The infinite number of
personal computers and laptops need the attention of hundreds of professionals
to keep them running. You can opt to become a specialist in this brand new
world of computer support professionals instead of choosing to be an engineer.
Even companies are hiring computer support professional who can work from home
to reduce the cost of operational overheads.
- Being a Medical Assistant...
Medicine is another area where a
large amount of opportunities have opened up for people seeking a job in the
field of medicine. Diseases like diabetes and obesity are on the rise and a
great number of Medical Assistants are the required to tackle this growing number
of patients.
As the medical assistant is trained to do both clinical tasks as
well as administrative tasks the spurt in the growth of health care facilities
is offering jobs to huge number of people who want to opt for such a career.

Medical Technicians on the other
hand do the work of keeping the medical records of millions of people in order.
This is a job opportunity in the medical field which you should not ignore as
the pay is quite good though the work is very time consuming and tedious.
Keeping
the medical records of millions of people in proper updated condition will
provide a great amount of satisfaction to you when you find everything is in
order.
- Being a Financial Assistant...
Being a Financial Assistant is
another great option to be taken as a career alternative to the normal path. No
decision making process can be complete without the say so of the financial
department. Furthermore the world of making investments by Financial
Institutions and Banks have crossed normal boundaries and have spilled into
other countries.
This has made the requirement for financial assistants
increase manifold as they are required to help decide on investments worldwide.
- Being an Accountant...
If you think that you are clever
with numbers then the job of an Accountant is just the right one for you. Every
financial institution or financial department of any company need accountants
for working on spreadsheets, preparing and verifying financial documents and
keeping the books balanced. As more and more companies are opening shop every
day the requirement for accountants to work for them is increasing by leaps and
bounds.
This is resulting in job opportunities for more and more young people
who do not want to follow the normal career path of being an engineer, a doctor
and so on.
