After only a few days in Perth I can legitimately say: ouch.
I’m spending way too much per day.
Even if I don’t consider the phone chips that cost a lot on the first day, the taxi from the airport, as well as the few things I needed for my two-day train trip, I’m way over any sustainable budget.
I got a small latte, a muffin and an a mind croissant this morning. For some 12$50. Hello? Once I’m in Melbourne I have to do breakfast at home…
Drinks are also ridiculously expensive. 17$ for a Mojito, 13$ for a big glass of a local red wine…
14$ for some fried noodles and a Sprite… in a Chinese take-out. Are you serious. Ok, I’ve just been to India and South Africa, but hey!
I’ll need to make a quick check up on my finances. Credit cards, accounts, savings, and then see the projected spending.
I still need to pay both the accommodation in Santiago and Buenos Aires.
I know after that there’s not much left, and once that is spent I’ll go into debt, use my credit card limits or ask my sister for a short term loan…
But ok. Come April 15h, I’ll have my salary again. I’m waiting for HR to contact me…
