What is a good monthly budget for a family of three in Cavite?

Arcadieus

I make enough currently to live pretty comfortably in Cavite, but I would like to save at least 2/3rds of my monthly income.

My girlfriend owns her home there and she is currently spending about 20-25k pesos a month for mortgage, utilities and tuition for our son.

I do want to get a bigger house for the 3 of us and rent her current home out.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Saving 2/3 of your monthly income should give you a really nice nest egg when you decide to retire and I guess the size of your house depends on how many kids you currently have or intend having.
