    I know!!! I've tried to cut back, but it just never seems to happen. I eat out everyday, but on a whole food is just more expensive in Australia than it is in the US. There's pretty much no way you could feed a family of three on $400 a month in Australia unless you were really scrimping on produce and pretty much subsisting on carbs.

    Realistically I could cut my food bill by at least half though if I stopped being such a lazy bitch and cooking. It's just so hard to cook for one though!

    Life would be so much cheaper if I was ana and not a fat-kid-waiting-to-happen.

    Not neccessarily. I was ana, and now I'm a fat kid. And the fact that you know the term ana probably indicates that you're half way to starving yourself silly and wearing a red bracelet every day. LOL!!!! (just kidding I hope not it's not a fun disease. but I like to make fun of it because it makes me feel better about myself)

    You're a fat kid, at 113 lbs? Honey, I'm sure you look lovely. However, I know its a rough disease.

    Why would anyone wish that upon themselves, a disorder that makes you fear the very thing that keeps you alive!?

    Alright... while we're on the bandwagon...

    18,200 - Rent
    10,400 - Petrol (no fucking joke. I spend 200 a week in goddamn petrol!)
    2,400 - Car Payment
    1,300 - Car Maintenance (Bimonthly, not major repairs)
    5,200 - Food
    2,400 - Phone bill (if I DON'T go over, hahahaha)
    1,200 - Private Health Insurance
    800 - Electricity and Gas
    ------

    41,900 per year in just myself. D:

    Good thing I'm converting my car to gas next year! (1.20 per litre... 30 cents a litre...gee, will I save money?!)

    Edit: Fark, I forgot a few things. My insurance is only like $20 a month (I only insured the other guy, hahahaha) and my rego is about $600.... that's still another thousand...

    Thank god my income is pushing the 100k mark or I'd be FUCKED. D: *saves the other half*

    My Turn!

    $320 per week rent (it recently went up by $10 from $310 per week)
    $12.50 per week mobile phone
    $7.50 per week in landline (phone)
    $10 per week in electricity
    No food costs as I have a great set up with my flatmate (he would pay $110 per week in rent so I agreed to allow that money to be used for food/groceries instead of rent)
    $10 per week internet cost
    $100 in club fees per week to work (whilst at home)
    $12 per week car rego
    $40 per week fuel budget

    I also get the car minor serviced often and major service once a year. So another $200 per week in misc car expenses also including oil etc.


    $712 per week thus including miscellaneous spending equals $800 per week for me to live and work.

    $800 * 52 weeks in a year equals $41600!

    Damn... I didn't realise I spent so much....

    Except... around $500 of the $800 per week it costs me to live is a tax write off for me so ... $26000 per year is legitmate business deductions for me!

    So really I'm forking out only around $20,000 per year in expenses that I won't be able to write off in some way !!! (which is right as that is what it works out to be on my tax return each year between $20-30 K)

    If I didn't have to have a car to work I would probably have a moped motorcycle to get me around which is a HELL of a lot more cheaper: no parking fees more often than not, registration is $200 per year (compared to $600 per year for a car), fuel is around $10 per week and so forth.

    Being the Gold Coast, public transport isn't necessarily the way to go here.

    ETA: I do have a credit card with a $2000 limit however it is for business purposes only such as purchasing flights for work, purchasing anything in re work. So it is a write off and I usually pay what I purchased on the card off within a fortnight's time anyway (if not sooner). It is 55 days interest free from the POP date so I never incur any penalties or charges except the annual fee. I also use it as it helps me separate my business and personal expenses more easily since I use my VISA Debit Card for personal purchases.

    Do you really need to be with THAT Internet service provider? Can't anyone else provide what you require for less?

    Also in re the car: if you don't really NEED the car yet still want some form of motorised transport to zip around Brisbane why not look into acquiring a moped motorcycle. You can get a decent one for under $2k incl. a whole slew of things (yes 6 months rego). Rego costs only $200 per year, fuel costs are $20 per week at the max if you use it often, parking costs are nearly non existant (as all the motorcycle parking 'bays' don't have meters on them)... they are safer than a motorcycle because you won't be going a million miles per hour (imo).

    Plus you can get one with a car license.

    If you want to go faster (thus want something with more CCs) then you do have to acquire a motorcycle license.

    No .. all cars are unleaded fuel here in Aust. And yes it costs over $1 per litre. Usually $1.20-1.35 per litre.

    Thus the reason gas (as in GAS not fuel) is cheaper.

    Thus the reason gas (as in GAS not fuel) is cheaper.
    I believe that you're referring to a Propane gas conversion ? That's available in the USA as well ... and for the moment is significantly cheaper than gasoline / diesel for just one reason. All sales of gasoline / diesel have federal and state 'road tax' added to the pump price, whereas Propane does not.

    However, in the US at least, gov'ts are quickly figuring out that they are losing massive amounts of 'road tax' revenues by failing to collect 'road taxes' at the point of sale for Propane, Biofuels etc. Same issue with hybrid / total electric cars. As a results, many states are experimenting with other ways to collect the 'road tax' i.e. mandatory GPS tracking of vehicles (which also allows states to charge different road taxes on different roads), annual vehicle mileage times some sort of fuel efficiency constant from a lookup table on each make and model of vehicle etc.

    The kicker here of course is that anybody who invests in a Propane conversion, a Biofuels conversion, a hybrid or 100% electric car etc. on the basis of current differences in 'fuel' costs may wind up seeing that 'fuel' cost difference drop tremendously when gov't begins collecting 'road tax' via other methods. In the western US states, this could happen over the course of the next year or two ... depending on the results of state GPS testing that is currently underway. Speculation is that the mandatory GPS installation on vehicles will go hand in hand with the increase in state vehicle emissions / mileage standards, which are set to take effect in a 2009 or 2010 time frame.

    Nononono.... petrol is american 'gas'... but gas is.. well, the kind of gas you use to heat your house. We use it as fuel here. it costs $3000 to put the tank in and set your car up for it. Then you have gas AND petrol (my car uses regular unleaded, like most cars) in one car for travelling.

    $1.20 a litre for petrol is about $5.00USD a gallon.

    So once I get my gas converted car, I'll be able to half my petrol and gas fuel prices AND save the economy.

    Agreed. London is paying somewhere around $15USD per Gallon! o.O; At least they ARE closer together!

    Failing that, make public transport better and easier and more efficient. However that goes into the realm of 'poor town planning' especially here on the Gold Coast! Whoever designed the 'town plan' for the Gold Coast was NOT thinking long term and that is for sure !

    Thank you helpful Australians! I figured it was some sort of language confusion. $5 is pretty rough a gallon, though we pay $3 or so here. I WISH I had a diesel can, because you can convert to waste oil. At least some places you can. Eat the fries, fuel the car.
