Waiting for our visa results. Lodged tss visa last 1st of July. Antaas ng anxiety ko na! Haha.

Plan nmen is to get me first in Au then settle muna ng few months then susunod ung mag ama ko. Just wanted to ask, how difficult po b makakuha ng place to stay for a family of 3? Work ko is around CBD area and would likely prefer na around lang dun sana ung mkuha na house, pro hopefully at a reasonable price. Or maybe a little farther ok p rin wag lng ung super layo tlga. I heard transportation is not as accesible like here in Singapore. For the housing and transpo mga how much po kaya every month? Need deposit and advance dn po b when renting a house?

Thanks in advance!

magkano po kaya aabutin ng electric, water, and internet bill kung ako lang magisa sa studio apartment?

@aomanansala depende yan sa usage mo. yun electric depende sa plan mo pero normally every 3 months tapos depende sa season kasi pag winter magheater. so rough estimate mga 150 - 300, water mga 30/month, internet depende rin yan sa plan mo estimate mga 60/monthly. Mga ganyan yun bills nun friend ko nun magisa lang sya sa studio nya.

@goodminton Off topic lang mga bossing, paano po ba public transportation sa Adelaide? Baka kasi mabano ako pagdating ko jan di tulad dito sa pinas na pwedeng pumara at bumaba kung saan saan

goodminton

@aomanansala efficient nmn yun public transport. May designated stops buses, trams and trains. read about adelaide metro

regarding sa original topic..hehe. budget per month for 2pax:

Rent: 800 = Not whole unit. Master's bedroom on a 3BR flat. Bills and wifi all-in. Its 200/week so sometimes it becomes 1,000 if there's 5weeks in a month.
Groceries: 300-400 = Food, toiletries, etc. (Compare prices sa Coles, Woolworth, Foodland. Every week may sine-sale silang items, so baka yung regular price sa isa ay sale pala sa kabila) Yung 400 sobra na yun tipong may "nice-to-haves" na
Phone bills: 150 = If you're good with your current phone, just get a sim-only plan
Metrocard: 200 = We don't drive yet. Use the Metromate app for bus and train timings. 100$ for 28days, unlimited rides on the train & bus. Near South Road yung suburb namin (walking distance sa train station and bus stops, 15mins train ride to CBD)
Private Insurance: 230 = If you are not entitled to Medicare yet, highly advisable to get a private insurance. Nakapag try na kong mag sick leave, half of the bill was covered by my insurance.
Gala/date :lol: : 100 - 200
The rest is up to you and your family's lifestyle na 🙂
@"just.anotherguy" If you don't mind, anong company yung private insurance na kinuha mo?

@chabawamba , may kamag-anak po si misis dito, so dun muna kami nag stay pansamantagal..hehehe. tapos nakalipat kami thru fb groups, yung mga nagppost ng room for rent. Pero initially, dapat mag airbnb kami for 1-month, kung kami lang talaga at walang kamag-anak.

@hannakems BUPA si misis, then HCF po ako. Parehong OK naman at hindi nagkakalayo ang price for both range of various covers. Kaya lang ako nag HCF kasi "non-profit" sila, so at least feeling ko I'm supporting a good cause lol. Pero mas marami atang accredited clinics ang BUPA (and Medibank) i think. Accredited, meaning automatic nang discounted yung price kapag magbabayad ka sa clinic. Hindi tulad kapag non-accredited, babayaran mo muna ng buo, then ie-email mo sa HCF yung resibo and yung claim form, then saka nila isosoli sa bank account mo yung reimbursement.

Ito yung regular expenses ko for one person:

Rent - 180/week room and utilities

Groceries - 60/week pinaprioritize ko bilhin yung mga naka-sale na items

Leisure - 30/week

Prepaid load - 30/28 days Vodafone

Metrocard - 101/28 days unlimited rides

Health insurance - 133/month Medibank

Recently lumipat na ako sa sarili kong flat. Halos ganyan pa rin expenses ko, pero tumaas ang rent. Hindi ko pa alam kung magkano aabutin ng utilities ko. Note lang na pag-nagrent ng sariling flat or whole house kailangan magbayad ng 2 weeks advance rent and 6 weeks deposit.
