Monthly Household Expenses.

Posted on Jun 19, 2008 under Family, Financial Freedom, Suburbia, Tag Tag Tag |

This was from the N@W thread as well. But Kathy made it into a tag so here Please leave your posts so I can see, I want to know more tips

How many sq meters is your place, and how many people live there?
Im not really sure. But this place is big. Bungalow with three rooms, garage, front and backyard. Four adults, two kids (one of which is a toddler) - We can even really invest on a business - selling food, used Harleys or an internet shop!

How much is your electricity bill monthly? Water?
Electricity - 1600
Water - 50 (yes fifty bucks.LOL). We dont have a direct line of water here so supply is every other day (yes, dont get shocked!!!!) - people here have invested in water tanks and pumps. We will be getting a water tank. But Im not really sold pa on this place kasi - I want to move closer to the Shrine, where my parents stay. Let us see until December. (We get by na, thank God for maids. We dont notice na di-igib ang tubig namin hehehe)
Drinking water is around 700-800.

Other utilities?
House Rent - 5000
Internet - 1000 (SMART Wi-fi)
Mobile Phone Plans - 899
Fuel/Gas - Included in hubby’s transpo allowance (but we still need around 2k to go around here)
LPG - 635
Matthew’s School Service - 1200
Matthew’s School Tuition (*semestral*)
Maids (Two) - 3000 (lucky no? They dont take care of the kids lang dahil ayaw ng mga bata sa kanila. One is a cook the other one is a labandera, all around maid. Mag-ina kasi (The mother is old, blind on eye, the daughter is no read-no write) - pagtyagaan na. Im having problems setting up a schedule for my studying though.

Groceries? Market?
Groceries - 6000 (1,500 per week) - includes toiletries and breakfast items, laundry detergents
Market (Menu) - 4800 (1,200 per week)
Milk - 4000 (GainPlus Advance 3 - she can consume the biggest can in around 8-9 days)
Pampers - 720 (I get pampers for her at the Silang Market (like the ones you get Peachy) for 180p/pack. A pack has 30pcs. This lasts a week)
Bread - 500 (We are big bread eaters here in fact I prefer LemonSquare over Gardenia these days. There’s also a bakery in Tags I get rolls from every Sunday).

We have lot of credit card bills to pay for though That takes a huge chunk of pay each month - we bought some appliances ksi. Once it’s paid for, we *might* have an easier load.

Nagulat ako coz I was the one who posted these questions sa n@w. Tag na pala siya (although I was not the one who made this tag). Thanks for answering though. Pandagdag din sa research ko :).
