Cost of living
Can anyone give me an idea on the following (Need to take my mind off the painful wait for my acknowledgment to come through!) ;)
How much would I need to put aside per week for the following: Groceries Utilities Any other costs (other than mortgage?) We'll be based in Melbourne and we're a family of 5. Thanks a lot :) |

Thanks a lot :) Gas $25 - $50 per month Electricity $75 - $100 per month Water $55 - $100 per quarter - look at your usage if you are doing more than 400 litres per day you will pay an increasing rate. Above are for family of 3 Shopping depends on your individual needs and where you shop. Supermarkets price according to suburb - so closer to CBD you pay more. Make use of markets for veges & meat - better quality and better pricing. Rates/council tax - if your a tenant you don't pay. I think ours is about $1K to $1.5K (have not yet received the notice) Car registration is about $500 - $700 depending on your postal address Car insurance about the same depending on vehicle and driver history Toyota Prado $70 per month (no additional charge for monthly versus annual payment) Toyota Avalon $50 per month Hope that gets you started. |
