Also interested in this thread. Looking for typical cost for a couple in modest accommodation, Melbourne or Sydney suburbs? Thank you in advance! Kailangan talaga mag ipon :-)

vincechaos

thanks for sharing, @misterV , btw, kayo lang ba sa flat or sharing with others ?

misterV

@eujin Dalawa lang kami sa flat (me and a friend). So technically, $187.50 lang binabayaran ko weekly since share kami sa rent.

eujin

salamat sa response sir @misterV 🙂

vincechaos

@misterV Salamat!

vincechaos

@misterV Kanu budget m s food weekly? aside pa s grocery. Thanks.

misterV

@vincechaos Usually luto lang ako sa bahay kaya kasama na sya dun sa grocery ko na $100/week. If kakain ka sa labas, usually $10-$15 per meal per person if sa suburbs. If sa city ka naman kakain, usually around $20-$25 per meal.

Pero if makakapagluto ka, mas okay yun kasi mura lang grocery dito (especially sa Aldi!).

elleb1

@misterV san suburb ka sa sydney? makuha kaya ng apartment kung wala pa work? or kung me work na pero minimum pa yung sahod ma approve kaya?

misterV

@elleb1 Sa western suburbs ako nakatira. I'm not really sure kung may minimum required income level yung mga agency dito. But on top of income, medyo madami pa sila kinoconsider, like gaano kadami yung mag ooccupy ng place, if may pet, rental history, etc.

mcg143

Hi guys, is there a big difference between the rental and transpo if renting somewhere farther from the city than in CBD? Like if you walk to your school or work vs. train everyday? Thanks for your thoughts.

lucid2010

@mcg143 oo may difference. Like an hour away from CBD may makuha kna 300-400 per week 2B/1TB. Pero for example pag nasa North ka mga room is 300/week room rental un. Meron din mga studio type 500-600/week.

"Sabi nila" pati mga bilihin sa coles/woolies/aldi mas mahal daw sa cbd dko lang alam, wala naman choice kundi dun bumili timing na lang ng mga 1/2 the price hahaha

Sa pamasahe may specific rates naman kung gano kalayo.

kaidenMVH

mga sir ask ko lang if may kids (2 & 6 years old), meron ba murang daycare? hehehe

Megger

@lucid2010 , @misterV , mga gaano katagal, on the average makakuha ng bahay kung new migrant. That means no rent history. Sa NSW kami 190. Salamat sa sagot.

at least $120 per day per kid...

note that kahit nagkasakit anak mo, bayad ka pa rin...

lucid2010

@Megger kapag room for rent lang mabilis lang. realstate.com.au / domain site hanap ka lang nagpopost ng room for rent. Gagawa ka profile tapos mababasa nila un. Sign up ka lang.
