$7800 food - based on $150pw

$5000 car payments & fuel

$3700 health insurance

thanks.

All I can say is whatever you work out now, it will be different when you arrive. I wouldn't spend too much time on it. It will give you a brain hemorrhage and you'll be none the wiser

We spend about $180 a week for 2 adults and 2 teenage girls, so if you did your online comparison and it was $150, then I reckon you won't be far out.
