Hi all, my husband is considering a Job in the Geelong area near Melbourne...after doing much search i am still unable to have an information of the current cost of living in geelong(many of the posts in google are older posts).He is looking at a salary of 86K to 90K per year pre tax.So after tax this is around 61K.
We are two of us...so based on the estimates here is my rough calculation.Please comment if these seem fare enough.
Home rent (2 or 3 bed)- 300/wk i.e.1200/mth
Cost of running car(insurance, tax, gas etc)- 200/month -This does not include actual cost of car
Gas + electricity- 120/mth
Internet- 80/mth
Cable - 100/mth
Mobile (2)+ landline- 140/mth
Grocery -100/wk i.e. 400/mth
Eat out-400/mth
Other expenses-400/mth
Health insurance- assuming to be paid by employer.Can anyone confirm mthly insurance to be paid
So this gives a total living expenses average at 3040/mth.Please comment if these estimates are realistic .
