me jane 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 hmm - quite a lot I think. I give Tarzan 9 man a month and he pays everything excect Sky Perfect, Yahoo BB & NTT which come out of my bank. They come to around a man so that's a total of around 10man for everything except food & petrol. These are the monthly costs he pays for two of us out of my 9 man plus his own money. The total is 17 or 18man: Rent & Parking 130,000 Keitais 20,000 Electric 12,000 Gas 5,000 Water 3000 Car Insurance 3,000 Car Shaken 5,000 (total divided by 24 months) Car Tax in May 3000 (total divided by 12 months) I think there was something else he paid for when we were working it out but I can't remember now. I pay a bit more than him cos I use one one of the rooms in our house for teaching. He buys most of the food though so there is probably not much in it. Link to post Share on other sites

its-a-clock 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Electricity ¥13,175 That is a lot. My place it is usually about 5000 yen. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 muikabochi, My actual rent is 14man for the apartment and 1.5man for parking but we negotiated with the landlord and got both for 13 so I'm not sure how it actually breaks down. Hmm - seems we spend a lot on electric. I don't know why. Hardly ever use the aircon & our main heater is gas. Have a tumble dryer which guzzles a lot though. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 My utilities tend to hover around 3man a month, sometimes more. That's for home phone (which includes ADSL fee), keitai, gas, elec, water. Link to post Share on other sites
