Although I'm not Chinese, I'm also not an expat, and therefore admittedly have no reference point "back home" to compare cost of living.
In other words you were born in HK to expat parents and have a slanted view of what it is like being an expat in a foreign country. You are also probably comfortable living in areas of HK that most expats couldn’t. You’re also probably fluent in Cantonese as well. Hong Kong is your home. Please don’t pretend to know what it is like being an expat, what our expectations are and what it costs to be an expat in a foreign country.
