@papajay07 yung isa sa kaibigan ko ay pumunta sila na walang kakilala duon at kasama na sila lahat. Sa 500kPhp na baon, kaya daw mabuhay up to 4 months for a family of 3. Kung kuripot pwede pa 5 months. And if makatrabaho daw agad halos di daw masyado magalaw ang baon. But of course we have to prepare for the worst kay bring all baon as possible.

Just to give you an idea po sa cost of living sa Melbourne... kung mag-isa ka lang muna at matipid ka, baka ganito monthly expenses mo:

$800 for shared accomm including utilities
$160 unli monthly public transpo
$400 food (twice a week ka lang kakain sa labas yung chipipay lang, kung bongga ka kumain kulang na yan)
$30 prepaid load or $70 if you want to get a post-paid line (may kasama ng iphone 6 or galaxy 6 hahaha)

So around $1,400... If family of 3 around $2,700 but excluding schooling.

Estimates ko lang yan

papajay07

@orange11 Wow. Thanks po. You gave me a good idea sa pagbabudget.

Thanks po Miss @leah28.. at least may idea kaminsa budget tsaka pano magiging setup.. mahirap pala kung mgsisimula ng family.. kelangan tumigil ng wife.. wala bang nkukuha na stay at home nanny jan?

raspberry0707

@Adamantium.. kamusta? Wala pa bang balita? Middle of the week na wala pa din CO n ngpaparamdam.. nasan na kaya un :S

Adamantium

@raspberry0707 eto same same pa rin hehe. Relax lang tayo at dadating din yan, medyo natatambakan na ako sa work kakabasa ng forums at research ng life down under hehe. Busy mode muna at ang iniisip ko lang ay we are within the 90 day processing timeframe. Mas iniisip mo mas bumabagal ang oras eh, panay tingin sa email, check sa immi account, check sa forums, check sa border.gov.au, kaya ako kalma lang muna. B-)

Adamantium

@raspberry0707 mas matagal pa hinintay ko diyan para sa positive skills assessment ko almost 8 months hehehe. Kaya yung 90 days for visa processing medyo kaya pa naman, if less than 90 then thank you!

raspberry0707

Lolz @Adamantium.. magpaka-busy n nga din ako sa work para hindi ko iniisip..

leah28

@raspberry0707 no worries house helper and nannies here are very expensive, they are paid per hour as well but if you can afford it then meron nman mkukuha pedeng stay out or stay in , karamihan dito sa mga babies sa childcare n lng iniiwan pag childcare ata 78$ per day di me sure but within that range mas expensive pa if you get nanny

Futures

Ok @papajay07
To each his own tayo pagdating dyan. Good luck to all of us.
