Hi

To what extent are the monthly estimates below accurate for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids:

4500 Rental for housing (not furnished)
2600 Consumption (2 adults + 2 kids)
2780 Car rental + Fuel
520 Internet & telephone landline + mobile phone use

Are there any other costs we should take into account? (or savings ideas - cheaper options?)

Thank you

Many thanks for your response,

figures seem quite high, are options for lower costs? I mean are there different life styles making some pay 10000 and other 2000 in food?
