    Here is my budget... Perth, WA

    Shared Apartment (3 Adults)
    2 bedroom Apartment: 330/wk = 1320/month
    Internet Dodo Unlimited: = 60/month
    Electricity: 88.55/quarter = 29.51/month
    Gas: 148.25/quarter = 49.41/month
    Water: Free (part of the rent)
    Food: = 400/month

    Total 1858.92/month or 619/person/month

    Personal
    Car = 390/month
    Car insurance = 70/month
    Gas = 280/month ( I drive 40 kms one way home to office + weekend out of town )
    Health Insurance = 75/month
    Toiletries = 50/month
    Mobile Plan Virgin = 69/month

    Total = 934/month


    So my TOTAL Monthly budget = 619+934= 1553aud..
    Master, san banda kayo nakakuha ng 2br apartment for 330 a week? Outside city area na ba yan? Laki ng naitatabi mo nyan sa ganung monthly expenses. Kami cguro medyo malaki laki naman ang monthly expenses dahil may mga binabayaran pa kaming properties sa pinas. Sana pagdating ng wife ko dito makahanap kaagad sya ng work.

    Tama, not bad ah. 1553 AUD monthly budget. Laki pa pala pwede maitabi kasi hindi naman siguro bababa sa 3000 AUD sahod diyan (at an average) di ba?

    Here is my budget... Perth, WA

    Shared Apartment (3 Adults)
    2 bedroom Apartment: 330/wk = 1320/month
    Internet Dodo Unlimited: = 60/month
    Electricity: 88.55/quarter = 29.51/month
    Gas: 148.25/quarter = 49.41/month
    Water: Free (part of the rent)
    Food: = 400/month

    Total 1858.92/month or 619/person/month

    Personal
    Car = 390/month
    Car insurance = 70/month
    Gas = 280/month ( I drive 40 kms one way home to office + weekend out of town )
    Health Insurance = 75/month
    Toiletries = 50/month
    Mobile Plan Virgin = 69/month

    Total = 934/month


    So my TOTAL Monthly budget = 619+934= 1553aud..
    mAYROON po ba makapagshare ng South Australia budget?

    Baon school and office: pack lunch
    Electricity: di pa alam ang consumption currently allocating 50 forthnight, quarterly daw.
    Superannuation at 12%
    Savings: hardly nag uumpisa pa lang.

    File family assistance di pa alam kung maapprove.
    Others pala:
    Our place usually taxi ang transport, bus malaki ang time gap and depende sa location mo, bike will be a big help.
    Ang laki ng expesnses namin at first nung wala pang car.
    If learning how to drive: 60 -65 per session maximize utilisihg ur international license to get familiarise sa road and rules..then convert ur license to oz license.
    U have to invest buying appliances either brand new or from garage sale..
    Food u need to stock mahirap pala pagbumabagyo dito na cucut ang roads ng supply.

    May nakalimutan pa ba ako. :-)



    Which state po kayo?
