    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.

    how about yung everyday meal mo? from what i've heared, pag dine out ka nasa 10-15aud? or meron din naman murang meal? kasi im planning na mauna muna ako then siguro a month or two, saka sunod family ko.

    thanks.

    @odwight Nasa ganyang range ang meals. May kinakainan ako na Indian place na 1 curry & 1 rice for $9.50 pero if may drink $11.50. Sa fastfood ang small cheeseburger meal ng McDo or yung 6" na sandwich sa Subway $7 & up.

    Lagi ako nagdadala ng sariling water bottle. Kasi kung uhawin ka, the cost of bottled water will add up. $3+ din ang isang small bottle.

    @odwight Nagluluto ako ng 2 or 3 different types ng ulam tapos hiniheat ko na lang during the week. Kumakain ako sa labas pag weekends. Nag-iiba-iba yung discounted items sa grocery every week, so that's another way to save. Meron mga microwaveable rice and meals sa grocery.

    @johnnydapper Halos pareho lang naman yung tax rate sa Pinas. If you have a full-time job and live within your means, makakaipon ka naman without depriving yourself.

    I think what I want to say is ang hirap mag ipon sa Pinas sa liit ng sweldo at sa laki ng payables hindi sya proportion. Unlike dito sa AU yung sweldo mo proportion sa gastos.

    No need naman nila na malaman. Or pwde din sabihin mo para ma stop ang pagsend ng monthly transaction sa house mo, palitan mo ng etransaction na lang. check mo din expiry ng atm card mo, sakin sa 2024 pa naman, mas ok na mainform mo sila para ma stop pati pagsend ng new atm card mo, nasa atin pa din naman ang OTP card. Ininform ko sila na imaintain ko ang account ko khit wala ka kami ng SG kasi dun magbabawas ang investment namin na good for 5 years pa.
