Bro ,
You must've overestimated yours.

Who pays 250$ for mobile phone monthly except if you meant zim dollars.

What are you talking about? It's my bill, not yours. That cover phones for 5 members of the family including monthly payment of insurance in case phones are damaged in order to get replacement. If you live in the US, you won't argue it. Someone claiming to live in Ontario claims he pay $400 for communication. Now, because I once lived there, I could dispute that. But he know better because there could other fees attached to that.

Fort McMurray is crazily expensive being an oil and gas community. $600 just for Kumon. Wao, I only paid $150 per child several years ago, somewhere in the US. But surely your income cover this with extras, more so if both couple work.

bro 10k per year or 10k per month?

No per decade Didn't you read the topic?

Commotfornigeri:


Trust me, some of these people are inflating the figures.

Currently my household spends about 45% of our income monthly. 5% goes out to family as support and the remaining 50% goes into savings.

This is post tax income and we already have our pensions deducted.

At time of retirement, we'd have saved our 50% which is roughly 3k+ cumulatively for numerous years + pension which is about 3k per month per person + the Canada Pension Plan that old people get (about 500+ per person).

Imagine my wife and I retiring with that much, and a paid off house. We can afford to do vacation anywhere without depending on our kids who will already be settled too.

Should we choose to retire in nigeria, we will be killing it too.

So, look at the bigger picture. pensioners are dying anyhow in nigeria and you dont even have as much old people because people dont live long.

Look deeper.

I haven't seen much here that overinflated. Styfff can vary pretty widely depending on where you live. Accommodation in New York that's $3000 might be $1500 in New Orleans.

Your comment suggest you have a pretty good professional job along with your spouse. If there are two good earners in a family abroad and neither wastes money on fashion and gadgets, then then yes you can have money left over.

Other people though may have only one income (usually for kid issues), and the income is not great, but so they will tend to struggle. Extra income from spouse makes a lot of difference abroad.

If the figures are not inflated, then maybe they are living flamboyantly.

From most of the numbers, I can assure you asides rent and utilities, there are most of them that i can cut down rapidly and shave off an extra 1k into savings.

Now this is more realistic. One thing that is still affordable in the west is food. Especially if you buy in bulk.

I see people listing $400-500 for phone bills. What kind of plans are they buying? Why not get a phone out rightly?

Anyways, this thread isn't about frugal living...

Bvlgari:
As we all know, living overseas is very enjoyable but u must pay for those things unfailingly every month

This brings me to my question...

How much do u spend on your bills monthly overseas?

Pls note that it may vary from country to country

As for me, this is my breakdown spendings every month

1: house rent $ 400
2: grocery shopping $ 150
3: electricity $ 25
4: water $ 10
5: internet $50
6: gas $5
7: car fuel $ 50
8: kid school $ 150
7: miscellaneous $ 200

Total $ 1040 monthly

Pls kindly let use know yours because our people in Nigeria don't ever understand and they always demand and demand from us thinking there is a tree overseas that we pluck money from...and they pay their rent yearly o

May God bless our hussles

Add faster internet service and recalculate

Apart from $800 grocery most cad bills are reasonable
