Hi Dolly,

I recently checked some of the suburbs in Mornington Peninsula online and found them to be really nice with spacious properties and excellent rural type life style. I love all that!
Do you think it would be a doable commute to the CBD on daily basis on train? I would be working in the CBD and wondering if I could live in Mornington and work in the city. How long is commute? any pros and cons of this strategy?
Thanks and best Regards!

Syed

All figures are per month unless othewise stated.

Rent $1380
Food $900
Gas $48 (per quarter)
Electricity $360 (per quarter)
Water $45 (per quarter)
Fuel $1.48 per litre (but fluctuates)
Telephone/Broadband $120
Rego $45
Health Insurance $250
School fees $900 (for 2 sons - per year)
Dog Registration $30 (per year)
Ambulance Cover $140 (per year) - this was taken out before we signed up for Health Insurance so we won't have to pay this again

If I can think of anything else, I'll add to the list.
