I'm about to start paying board at home, and I need to get an idea of what other young people are paying out there

Just give us a quick rundown of your a/s/l, how much you pay a week/month and what you are entitled to.

cheers

Zero in board.

But pay about 50% of bills like utilities.

$30 a week. Agreed to 10% of my pay with the olds. Hopefully be able to renegoicate (or however you spell it) when i move into my new position later in the yr.

I used to pay $80 a week ($160f/n) and that was to cover my food, internet, etc.. but then again my parents like to rip people off, so no wonder i stopped paying board and moved out after a couple of months

about twenty bucks a week to me old man,
But we just shell out between us for the rest like milk, smokes, piss, etc etc

it would be more, but niether me or him is there very often. thats why its not more

Gawd dayyum...

Do you all live on easy avenue or something.
For me it's:

$60 per week
Some food included (parentals SUCK at food shopping, I better re-educate)
Quarterly contribution to Energex
Lawn mowed when reqd
Parentals vehicle washed, vacc'd weekly

I spose I do earn a fulltime wage

I pay nothing in the house.

i pay $75 a week plus part of the phone bill whenever it comes...and do odd jobs

so...anyone in brisbane wanna move out with me into the city/valley? im nice and dont smell or anything

hehe, i've got a great deal
10% of my before tax total. so when I was earning $1500 a week i paid $150 a week board, but now I dont earn anything I pay $0! and they still pay for food.

when i was living at home i payed $75 per week.. only extra i paid for was my internet account.

from when i turned 17 till when my dad moved back to england (and turned the house over to me) IIRC i was paying $50/fortnight, but that was 2/3rds of my youth allowance, but still no biggie, back when i was 17, $100 was a crapload of money.........

[Edit] back when i was 17.... god that makes me feel old...... it was also before i had experienced the joys of rent, bills, rego, fuel, insurance, shopping and debt collectors.......

my parents still pay for all my food at uni and train tickets and stuff even though im working

Wait until you have to do it yourself, your ****ed!

that'll be when i marry my g/f and she gets a good job and i have a decent job too ~
even then i hope parents will still pay for stuff... =/

I'm on $50 a week...And that includes food and laundry service
But I usually work nights (and sleep all day), so i rarely eat at home

So its safe to say the average rate is somewhere between $45-$65? It would be interesting to see if that actually covered all utilities used and food etc

20yo Male

$290 a fornight

+fone each money

each quater
$50 net
+Gas
+Electricty

i buy all ma own food ect

oh wait im living out a home

My parents sometimes take in people with nowhere else to live, we charge them $100 a week, all food utilities etc included and that seems a pretty fair deal.

lol, well done, set for life
