After two years of calling Sydney home, I've found my spending habits have definitely evolved. I'm now much more mindful of balancing my budget and living within my means. So, what does a typical week look like for my expenses in Sydney?
Breaking Down the Costs
Fixed Expenses
- Accommodation: 230-260 AUD
- Groceries for home cooking: 50 AUD
- Eating out: 40-50 AUD
- Phone plan: approximately 5 AUD (I actively look for annual deals to save money)
- Household essentials (toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent): 10-20 AUD
- Personal care and supplements (skincare, sunscreen, health supplements): 10 AUD (averaging about 40 AUD per month)
- Transportation: up to 50 AUD
Variable Expenses
- Entertainment (outings, gifts, etc.): under 10 AUD (averaging about 40 AUD per month)
So, to sum it up, my weekly spending hovers around 455 AUD, which works out to about 1820 AUD per month. What do you think of these figures?
