@wenzhel imagine usually room rent is 150-180 per week eto is flatting may kasama ka sa bahay so if 1 k per month lng budget mu with rent ... Half na yan. Food pa let's say ikaw lng at least 50- 80 per week na grocery. Bili ka pa ng load sa phone kasi job hunting.. Yung 30 aud na 1 month is not enough if may landline calls. Bus tickets pa also no calls to pinas muna kasi ubos load sa phone agad.
10 trip is around 30-40 aud for bus. How many bus transfers fir job interviews d mu ma compute agad yan so ung 10 trip pwding 3 days Lng. Ibang ticket for trains.
1k per month is good enough if you are not paying rent.
But with rent kahit flat sharing that is very very tight...unless you do not plan on contributing on buying food and someone will feed you for free. Someone will offer you free rides, free internet.. Etc 1 k for single / freeloader ok na talaga😉
For couple naman, 1-1.5k per person then set aside 500 per child per month just for good measure or back up. But 1k -1.5k per adult per month is ok on a very tight budget.
It cant be less than 1k kasi u would want a bit of freedom din. hindi naman pwding ung tinitirahan would shoulder everything.
Also bring extra baon, remember if you are appylyung for a rental that is 2 weeks bond and 1 week advance rent. So if 400 per week yung place.. 800 na ung bond plus 400 na advance rent.
