Average Monthly Salary for a Decent Living

[weisshorn]

- Yun lang, wala kaming nirerentahan
- Fuel almost similar (6000)
- Yung food almost similar pero kasama da dyan yung toiletries at kitchen related expenses (15000)
- school almost similar din (5000)
- electric bills mas less sa amin, 2000 ave. (control ang gamit ng aircon pag gabi)
- drinking water lang sa amin, poso gamit for water, 300 ave


- House maid for two, 5500.
- others (cp/internet...), >10000
- yung emergency galing sa savings kaya di nawawala savings sa budget

Since may maid tayo, tingin ko decent na rin yun.
Control lang din sa mga bisyo, lalo na may natitipid sa mga basic needs ay dun lang nagaadjust sa mga bisyo/luho.


kaya yung sayo nasa 56k, sa akin nasa 40k (basic needs lang din ito).
So, 50-60k monthly budget ay tingin ko average decent living na rin yun lalo na kung may savings pa.

Wow!! What can I say? Inggit ako sa inyo napagkasya ang 50 - 60K a month (honestly po).

^ so di pa nagaaral yung 6yo nyo?

Nag aarala na. This coming school year prep na sya. I did not include school expenses sa monthly kasi kinukuha namin yun sa bonuses namin and for now, once a year naman kami magbayad. Yung school service nya, kasama na sa miscellaneous yun. Wala akong car amortizatin kasi fully paid yung car namin (segunda mano). Yung preventive maintenance ng car, annual registration at comprehensive insurance, galing lahat sa bonus kaya di ko din sya isinama sa monthly budget. Mahirap talaga pagkasyahin ang P60,000 dito sa NCR for my family size, with house amortization. Pigil na pigil sa mga dine out kaya sa tingin ko para considered Decent or Comfortable living, dapat nasa P100K.

dapat nasa 150K at least ang monthly gross mo to get the 100K net.

2 yayas + 1 maid 11,500.00
groceries 26,000.00
palengke 6,000.00
Electricty 6,000.00
Water 1,000.00
Gasoline 6,000.00
Miscellanous 2,000.00
58,500.00

House and lot Amortization 34,000

Di kami maluho. The reason we have two yayas is because meron kaming 1 year and 4 months old and a 3 months old daughters, yung pinaka panganay is 6 years old so alagain pa talaga mga kids ko. Me and my wife work. So yunng household namin composed of 8 including the yayas and the maid. so ang total monhtly expenses namin is 92.5K if we will include the h&l amort. :-(

That's more like it, here in the Metro...
15.3K:jazzybass:

taas ng cost of living dito sa metro manila. I was comparing it sa SG. it seems like mas mababa pa ang cost of living doon. ung bahay lang mahal doon. electricity and water kasama na sa bayad sa house rental. commute lang doon (mahal kasi tsikot). sa foods, maybe a little more pricey compared here.

di hamak na mura pa rin sa atin compared to hong kong or macau.

dito, normal cash wash (mga pinoy) ay 80 macau dollars or more than 450 pesos. normal mcdonald's meal will cost you more than 200 pesos. gas per liter is 70+ pesos. ang simpleng 2 bedroom apartment, nasa 25k to 30k pesos.

yun nga lang, mas mataas din ang sahod kesa dyan.

live within your means

if your standard of living is rising faster than your income it doesnt matter how much you make -- it always won't be enough

match your standard of living to your income and you'll be ok

Common na sa tao na pag lumalaki income lumalaki din ang gastos...

Marami ako nakakausap na bakit nun starting pa lang sila and 8k lang sweldo kasya naman daw ngayon 40k na sweldo kulang na kulang na

exactly

tendency pag lumalaki ang kita lumalaki din ang gastos kasi tumataas ang standard of living

kaya no matter how much ang income it's always not enough

self control kailangan dyan

[Just]

yun iba kasing tao, mas nauuna mag adjust ng standard of living kesa sa sahod nila, kase nag expect na agad.
kaya when the time comes na lumaki suweldo nila, sakto or minsan kulang pa din

sabi nga ni uls "live within your means" and you'll be okay.

pinilit kasi makipagsabayan sa mga mas mayaman

Hindi pa nga nagiincrease ng sahod naka-magnum treat na everyday....

Many "industrialized" nations with high standard of living have more old singles than those with families. Because these singles earn and save more than those with commitments. Pinoys tend to get married early. If you are still single beyond your 30s, you are viewed as not normal. If you don't earn and live comfortably, don't force yourself to get married to satisfy some people...

contentment is the key
