cost of living Melbourne
 

We plan to move to Melbourne (I've got another thread below) and we'd like your advice on living cost.

Which suburb is affordable for a family with 2 children (age 3 & 6)?

Did we budget the below correctly?

rent: 2000 / month
utilities: 400 / month
food: 1000 / month
car insurance: 70 / month
childcare ?!
other expenses ?!

Thanks a lot !!!
