Only recently the Economist’s Intelligence Unit released a report on the most expensive cities to live in the world. Taking into account various factors such as wages, petrol, wine and a plethora of over 150 items, a comprehensive study was carried out and a report was compiled.

While Singapore bagged the first rank for the fifth time in a row, Paris and Zurich followed in as second an third respectively. Inspite of popular belief, New York or London did not bag a spot in the list although people tend to think of these cities as uber-expensive. Cities in Asia and Europe made it to the list with the ratio being 5:4 in favour of Europe.
