    We only have 3 members, but are expecting number 4:

    Per month:
    Rent - $1000
    Nappies (daycare wont use cloth) - ??
    Petrol - ?? (only one car and it is DH's - so he know all that stuff. I don't drive)
    Phone/Net package - $80ish by memory
    Phone calls - $2.50 this month, 50c last month (ha, losers)
    Daycare - $280 a week, so, 1120 for a 4 week month
    Food - Recently went up...about $75 a week for fresh produce and $6 a week for bread flour = $324
    Electricity - way too high, but this is a rental and EVERYTHING (water, power, cooking etc) is Electric = $215 for 60 days = $107.50
    Water - not sure, but pretty good. Can't find a bill atm.
    Mobile Phone = $30 a month

    So that's minus the all car costs, pet food and water as I am not sure about them. Internet is high coz DH needs the high speed and high dl limit when he's working from home.

    Oh yeah there is Health Insurance too, but DH handles all of that according to him. Something insane like $1000 a year.
