Hi All
Just a for a refence check, if some of you can share what you are paying monthly for living expenses, not to pry on the people financial situations, I will try and make it more simplified.
We do not have access to the famous stores like Landers, our go to is Pure Gild and SM supermarket.
We average PHP 10,000 on groceries that includes for my 2,5-year-old daughter like nappies, food, juice, snacks etc.
Our veggies, fruit and meat we get form the market all approx. PHP 3,000 a month.
Let's leave out electricity and fuel as we have solar and backup generator, so the bill varies especially for fuel including the car, my bike and grass cutter.
Dog upkeep is approx. PHP 2,500 a month if I average out vet costs for vaccinations and dogfood. That is for our Rotti and Maltese.
Additional we put money away for my daughter schooling, Uni and car as well as for house maintenance, pocket money and family holiday.
All in all, this adds up to approx. PHP 60K per month which I feel is high and off course I have to look at the remaining years at that cost plus inflation how we will sustain and survive.
