    @brnaye. Hello. I think these threads will help.

    http://pinoyau.info/discussion/1052/au-migrants-pls-share-your-weekly-monthly-budget
    http://pinoyau.info/discussion/1364/electricity-gas-and-water-bill-pls-share-how-much-you-are-paying-per-month

    Yung rent, it will depend sa location and number of rooms. For example, for a 4 bedroom:
    - nearer the city, $950/week > https://www.realestate.com.au/neighbourhoods/richmond-3121-vic
    - mas malayo ng kaunti and new devt, $395/week > https://www.realestate.com.au/neighbourhoods/point cook-3030-vic
