Cost of Living in Johannesburg
Even when compared with South Africa’s other major cities, on average, expats in Johannesburg enjoy a higher economic standard of living. Markets grow faster here, and as a whole the inhabitants are wealthier which translates into very positive purchasing power.
Be warned, though, that higher salaries do tend to translate into a more fervent consumerism, and Johannesburg’s many malls aren’t exactly deterring factors for the shop-a-holic.
