Hello,

Hope someone with toddler in melbourne or a family of three could share their 2015 budget as it would really help us plan ahead.

It would also help if you can share the actual or regular cost if you got a discounted rate as a PR. We will be on 457 and this information will greatly help.

Thanks...

Upon settling we deposited 1 month advance on rent, 2 weeks advance rent.

Bought our furnitures in fantastic, ikea. Cost of furnishing roughly around 4k + 1k for the mattresses (single and queen), since we're going to stay in here long term we bought everything brand new. Same with the appliances.

Background: Software Developer (full time) ako and my wife is a nurse (permanent part-time) and we have an 8 year old kid.

Question: who takes care of our son while at work? We brought in with us her grandmas (3 months)
