Re: Worrying about struggling when we make the move
I've been reading up on the schooling in the Perth area as that's where we're heading next year. I'm going to find it kind of odd as my son has just started pre-school here but when we move he'll be back home with me for about 9 months before he can start kindy. Not quite so bad for my daughter as she'll just continue in the equivalent of 4+ until starting in Year 1. She'd be due to move in to year 1 next September here but will move up the following February out there. Just means she'll have done nearly 2 years in 4+/Pre-preparatory.
We'll be in a similar boat to you when we move with regards to money. I'm currently work part time here but I'm lucky with the fact it's on a casual basis & I'm not committed to taking the shifts which means I can work around hubby & the kids. In some respects I'm glad I'll have one of the kids at home with me again once we move as I think having them both out of the house & hubby being at work would feel very lonely to start with. I'm sure it'll all work out one way or another though & there's no point worrying about it. It's a concern but so is leaving everyone behind, moving to the other side of the world, finding somewhere to live, etc etc.

Re: Worrying about struggling when we make the move
My grandson is 4 in November and he starts kindy in Feb ,they are in Perth.Daughter (youngest) had to enrol him last Monday.They (school) are not sure if he will be going 2 days a week or 3 due to things changing with school age and hours req.Initially they start on 4 half days a week apparently then they go on and do 2 full days (3 with the changes being made).
Eldest grandaughter was 5 in July and she will be going 5 full days in Feb (eldest daughters family).
Hope you can work this out, maybe i have muddled things for you,
and i haven't had a wee snifter either !!! (whisky)

Re: Worrying about struggling when we make the move
Hey suzie, dont forget there is a job here potentilly if you make it down to melbourne
My manager has 2 kids, gets assistance from centrelink which basically pays his mortgage. we are used to earning a low income as barbers so we spread it out and he pays for 2 kids a mortgage and beer and running a house( he is building one at the moment 4 bed 2 bth double garage in point cook) at the cost of 303k after the FTB grant and its only 20 mins from cbd 5 mins to beach
He survives plenty and still puts money away.
Im single, i eat out really often and dont even feel like im a low earner. And if stew is good he will have a ob thatll earn him above average wages with potential to earn mre in the future.
I havent forgot
