MILLENNIALS cop a lot of flack from older generations for being entitled, lazy or unable to save.
According to UK-based international relocation service provider MoveHub, the Indian megacity of Mumbai and Australia’s culture capital Melbourne provide the “best life for cash-poor millennials” in the Asia-Pacific region.
The company analyzed data from Deutsche Bank, Numbeo, Expatistan, TripAdvisor and the UN to assess from across the globe to see where millennials would be smartest to live.
Things considered were monthly transport expenses, how many “cheap eats” were on offer, urban safety, and the cost of rent as a proportion of monthly income.
The Scottish capital of Edinburgh topped the list, followed by Vienna in Austria and Germany’s beloved Berlin.

Mumbai came in at number eight in the world on MoveHub’s list, just below the Danish capital of Copenhagen. India’s largest city and home to the country’s iconic Bollywood industry, Mumbai is a vibrant metropolis overlooking the Arabian Sea.
It was voted the favorite city in India by travelers in 2017. According to MoveHub, it also offers “the cheapest public transport (US$12.70 per month) and one of the cheapest coffees” out of the 30 cities analyzed. In terms of safety, Mumbai beat out European competitors of Paris, Brussels, and Dublin.
“As India’s most cosmopolitan city continues to modernize and develop, perhaps it will gradually become a popular choice for broke millennials looking to move elsewhere,” said MoveHub.
Melbourne meanwhile placed at number nine, notable for locals only having to fork out 29.85 percent of their income on average for rent.
Australia’s second largest urban center is frequently cited as one of the most liveable cities globally, including by the Economist Intelligence Unit who named it the most liveable city in the world for 2018.
With people flocking to Melbourne for its quality of life, its perhaps no wonder that some experts expect it to overtake Sydney as Australia’s largest city by 2030.
