I see so many posts here, asking for cost of living. Why not post some sample budgets?
For a family of two:
* Housing in Central area (2 bedrooms+living room/750 sqft) - xx HKD / month
* Insurance - xx HKD / month
* Utilities (electricity, water, heating, internet, 2 cell-phones) - 2,500 HKD / month
* Groceries (meat, vegetables, fruits, spices, herbs etc. for cooking AT home)- 2,000 HKD per month
* Eating out (300 HKD per meal for two x 4 times a week x 4 weeks ): 4,800 HKD per month
* Transit passes for two people (@ 300 per per person) 600 HKD per month
* Movies/entertainment (@ 200/week x 4 weeks): 800 HKD / month
* Clothing/Shopping(for two) - 4,800 HKD/month (for two people)
* Misc - 2,000 HKD / month
-------------------------------------------
Total : 17,500 HKD per month + housing + insurance
--------------------------------------------
That's my estimate from all that I've read. I do NOT live in Hong Kong so it's quite possible that I am wrong. Somebody local can correct?
