pasali sa usapang ito..ako ngaun ay fulltime housewife by fate..hehe. As you may read sa ibang forum or thread, medyo mahirap work dito SA, for me, in not one of the lucky few here in SA na mabilis nakakuha ng work.
to give you an idea...i have 2 kids (panganay ko is 7, second ko is 2). our weekly forthnight with centrelink is $624. Since mura bahay dito sa SA, monthly rental namin is $280 per wk ($560 forthnight) so bale ung centrelink namin sa renta ng bahay napupunta, may sukli pa akong konti..hehe
husband ko nagwo-work ngaun sa factory dito. so bale ung sweldo nya nauuwi sa bills (electric, gas, water, mobile, internet) and food. wala pa kaming loan at mortgage sa ngaun. ung kotse kasi namin luma naman at ung pinambili galing sa dala namin baon. so far ok naman kami, nakakain namin gusto namin (pero di kami mahilig kumain sa labas), may konting shopping spree pa-minsan minsan at may nase-save pa ako 😃 Pero mas mabilis talaga kayong makakaipon kung 2 kayong magwo-work.
Since bored na bored ako sa bahay at wala rin naman akong makuhang work, i might take advantage of SA's skills for all, meron silang mga fee free course and I applied for a slot na. I'm still waiting na lang for the admission letter.
