<blockquote rel="jengrata">@olrac183 based sa mga nabasa ko you have to allot 1500 for 1st adult, 1000 for 2nd adult, 500 for every kid. This is an average breakdown of expenses per month:
1500-rent kung haus
500 - gas, water, electricity, internet
120 - mobile phone plan for 2
200 - petrol car (if commute mga 300-400 for 2 pax unlimited public transpo)
500 - groceries per month
300 - health and car insurance
So i think, more or less 3,000aud per month is enough. And thats also my budget times 12 🙂</blockquote>
@jengrata - mejo mataas yung budget mo sa gas, water, electricity and internet... 🙂
grocery, nasa high end din... we spend around 300 per month; then again 2 lang kami ni misis.
you may also want to allocate housing start-up cost; this is for your deposit for the rent, installation charge of internet, utensils sa bahay, furnitures and appliances... Unlike kasi sa Singapore wherein mostly furnished ng owner ang mga bahay, dito you get it bare... As in no fridge, no table, no washing machine... mabigat ito, super... until now kulang pa gamit namin! 🙂
and yeah, cost of car since you have budgeted something for petrol - got a 2000 honda civic last week and it cost me $5600; okey naman sulit at it is very fuel efficient.
