Hi guys, ask ko lang around how much ang tingin nyong need na pocket money, assuming na wala pang work pagdating ng australia? For 1 person. Ty
it really depends on how long will you be jobless. but here's a draft of expenses for a month:
rent: $2,500 (if you will be living with a flatmate on a location 30 - 45 minutes away from the city. this will include 1 week rent + advance payment/deposit) this will go higher if you will be living by yourself or living closer to the city or if you will find a place which is unfurnished so you need to buy stuff.
food: if you will be tipid and cook for yourself the entire month, you can go as low as $500 - $800, depending on what you will cook. will go higher when you do takeaways or dining out
transpo: i would say $250 for a month will be enough, or even have spillover for the next month. this is for taking public transpo (train + bus)
miscellaneous items:
insurance - cheapest would be the basic of $90
mobile - cheapest would be $30, which includes data
factor in if you will have additional subscriptions like gym, streaming services
