I'm after some advice, still at the stage of doing our maths.
After rent, childcare and car insurance, how do $30,000 (after tax) sound?
Brisbane, $34,000.
Two adults and two young children, the plan would be to go for state schools.
How are these figures? is it doable? I know that people have different expectations and it's a difficult question to answer, but we're used to living frugally, we're not going to Oz to get rich, that's not our dream.
By doable I mean: enough to put food on the table, live comfortably in our house (re electricity bill due to a/c), cover our basic clothing needs, and a bit of entertainment/activities for the children. I don't know what our commute costs would be though, so leave those out. We're not planning on going on a holiday for the first few years, so that's not an issue.
Any insights?
Thank you in advance
