cost of living again11
I have been asked by the court to put together a 'lifestyle information' pack (on going case re permission to take the children without fathers consent 
) anyway, have got most things sorted ie examples of property specks, school info, salary scales etc. I have done search through the forum on 'cost of living and kind of averaged what i could find - can any one tell me if i am way off with any of these estimates, they are for a family of four (two adults, two teenagers) per month living in adelaide. Also have i missed anything?

(I think) What area are you going to be in though, as some places can be very different for rent.

I thought council rates are normally included in rent and, in some cases, water also?

How would you compare the cost of living there in comparison to the u.k.(assuming your'e from the u.k.,).
I get the impression so far that it is 'swings and roundabouts'
.Cost of buying cars,much difference?
