The human rat race doesn't seem like it will be slowing down anytime now. With this, the cost of living in many big cities have been on the rise in recent years, and it has been gradually getting tougher to keep up with current prices and demands.<\/p> <p>This may have spurred many to consider migrating to countries and cities that are less costly, and also to those which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/travel\/now-or-never\/destinations\/paradise-island-10-private-resorts-get-away-141969.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">offer a slower pace of life<\/a>. Of course, how you decide to live mostly determines how much you have to spend as well - do you purchase lots of impractical goods, refuse to <a href=\"http:\/\/asia.be.com\/lifestyle\/10-reflexes-to-make-the-train-ride-bearable-17685.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">take public transport<\/a>, or insist on having a house all to yourself? These are obviously habits that will make life a lot pricier for you. However, just to give you a gauge on which cities you probably will not want to move to unless you've got plenty of savings, check out the gallery above for the 10 most expensive cities to live in around the world, in increasing order.<\/p> <p><em>Dione Chen<\/em><\/p> <p><em>Photos: Getty Images<\/em><\/p> <h2> <span>Read more:<\/span> <\/h2> <p><a
