@psychoboy Hmmm.. yun rent parang mababa, lalabas around A$140 / week. Yun grocery din medyo mababa, kami family of 3 around A$150-200 / week grocery. Nun ako pa lang mag-isa around A$100+ na per week. Yun transpo naman medyo mahal, ako 4 na sakay papunta work, pabalik ganun din. Combination ng bus and trains.. A$52 / week so around A$208 / month. Electricity naman, pwede na if matipid and hindi masyado nag h-heater and aircon. Kami kasi around A$400 / quarter. Anu sa tingin nyo boss?
@Bryann - this is budget for and my wife... Rent is actual, we have already secured the room for at least the 1st month. Eventually this will easily double.
Yung grocery ninyo, I am curius ano yung mga binibili for around A$150/wk?

@psychoboy Wow mura yun if ganun, dito kasi yun mga nakikita namin na for rents, pinakamura na siguro A$290-300/week. Yun grocery, meat, veggies, nappies, formula milk, juice, milk, bread, (the usual). Yun mga binibili namin normally mga naka-specials sa Woolies/Coles. Then ako naman lunch ko sa office normally canned Tuna, which on special is just $1. Minsan naman nagbabaon if madami naluto for dinner. Although lately meat na lang binibili namin and canned goods from groceries. Seafood and veggies sa mga fruit stand na lang and asian na seafood vendors. Magkaiba siguro talaga cost of living ng Syd and Melb.
Yun allowance ano po yun? Food sa office, etc? Ang hanga ako yun nakakita kayo ng place to rent na A$575/month saka yun grocery. Medyo hirap din kasi ma-control yun groceries lalo na if kailangan talaga and may bata din. Gusto ko nga din i-try yun suggestion ng iba na sa Aldi mag-grocery.

Yun allowance @Bryann - misc expenses na iyon for everything; kasama na yung konting pasyal during weekend.

Hi Guys
Me & hubby have recently been approved with AU PR. Right now even in SG, I have started applying for hubby trying to land him a job (just in case). With respect to salary expectation, what's your minimum base salary expectation to live comfortably in AU?
Thanks sa mga magrereply.
Kung nasa comfortably mga AUD80,000 per annum plus dalawa kayo. Pero mahirap makahanap ng magbibigay sa inyo yan lalo wala pa kayung local experience unless kung highly indemand ang skill ninyo at highly qualified kayu baka umabot to AUD90,000 per annum pero minsan tyempuhan lang
Sa una tiis at tyaga lang kahit mababa mga nasa AUD60,000 plus per annum ma ayus ayus na rin yun tipid to the max for entry level pero dalawa na kayu kung ganun sahod nyo maayus na rin. Kung may local experience na kayu staka kayu mag demand o maghanap ng malaking sahod. Kasi sa una nagtatayu pa lang kayu ng pondasyon sa inyong career sunod yan may confidence na kayu na dapat ang sahod nyo ay naayon sa alam ninyo at sa local at overseas work experience nyo.
Sa akin opinion ko lang ito ha. Dipende kasi sa lifestyle ng bawat individual.
Good luck and God bless...

For individual. Most naman dito either isa sa magasawa ay part time o casual job at isa nman full time lalo na kapag may mga anak na sila. Yung iba nag cli-cleaner pa or sa groceries nag wo-work part time para pang dag dag income.

Feeling ko po kaya. Pero depende din kasi sa gastos mo. And in the first few months, andami start-up cost like gamit sa bahay, or kahit yung wifi modem bibilhin mo pa, car, rental bond sa apartment, etc. So, sa umpisa, hindi din masyado makakapag-ipon. But I think, with time and with Australian work experience, gaganda na ang sweldo. Makakapag-ipon eventually.
Andami ko na na-meet Pinoy dito who've been here for years, even decades. Relatively comfortable na po mga buhay nila. Ang iniisip nila mortgage na sa bahay.

oo, I have seen one before pero i would not count on that - eto yun tipong more than 20 yrs old and naka clock na ng more than 250K sa odometer.
i am looking at buying second hand, realistically nasa 5K-10K ang price range ng mga cars na mejo kampate ako gamiting for the next 3 years or so...

Plano lang naman bossing; Katulad sa mga pagpaplano mo rin in Australia...
I do hope to get a car as soon as I can though, deprived ako nito for 4 years when I worked in Singapore.

Wag ka bumili ng 1k to 2k kasi gagastos ka din yang ng mga 2 to 3k para ipaayos ang sasakyan. kaya mababa kasi may aayusin pa dun bumili ka ng used car mga nasa 3k at tanungin mo mabuti sa owner kung good condition ang mga parts. May mga used car naman na mabibili na hulugan every month. Kaya ingat sa pagbili ng car. Syanga pala magbabayad ng 1k para irehistro ang sasakyan.

i tried buying car from gumtree. ok naman basta icheck mo lang mabuti ang car at ang history nya. You can do a vehicle history check online before buying a car. On my first year here in Sydney, I was able to buy a honda accord car, then after a year binenta ko ulit to buy another used car, honda crv naman. :-)
budget 4K$ - 5k$.

Wow mura yun if ganun, dito kasi yun mga nakikita namin na for rents, pinakamura na siguro A$290-300/week. Yun grocery, meat, veggies, nappies, formula milk, juice, milk, bread, (the usual). Yun mga binibili namin normally mga naka-specials sa Woolies/Coles. Then ako naman lunch ko sa office normally canned Tuna, which on special is just $1. Minsan naman nagbabaon if madami naluto for dinner. Although lately meat na lang binibili namin and canned goods from groceries. Seafood and veggies sa mga fruit stand na lang and asian na seafood vendors. Magkaiba siguro talaga cost of living ng Syd and Melb.
Yun allowance ano po yun? Food sa office, etc? Ang hanga ako yun nakakita kayo ng place to rent na A$575/month saka yun grocery. Medyo hirap din kasi ma-control yun groceries lalo na if kailangan talaga and may bata din. Gusto ko nga din i-try yun suggestion ng iba na sa Aldi mag-grocery.

Sa una tiis at tyaga lang kahit mababa mga nasa AUD60,000 plus per annum ma ayus ayus na rin yun tipid to the max for entry level pero dalawa na kayu kung ganun sahod nyo maayus na rin. Kung may local experience na kayu staka kayu mag demand o maghanap ng malaking sahod. Kasi sa una nagtatayu pa lang kayu ng pondasyon sa inyong career sunod yan may confidence na kayu na dapat ang sahod nyo ay naayon sa alam ninyo at sa local at overseas work experience nyo.
Sa akin opinion ko lang ito ha. Dipende kasi sa lifestyle ng bawat individual.
Good luck and God bless...
