It's been two months since we got back from Brazil and started to enjoy our life in Perth. We truly enjoy where we are, there is lots to do with the kids which brings me to the subject of what is cheap?
I thought that a lot of kids stuff in Karratha were expensive due to lack of choice/competition and because we lived in such rich remote area.
I am starting to doubt that thought I once had.
See, daycare over there was about $100.00 per day, over here $84.00. Soccer; in Karratha $100.00, you had to buy socks and shorts separate, over here $220.00 with uniform included. Swimming; over there was $100.00 per term, over here $130.00. Dancing; there $140.00, here $+/- 130.00. Then there is Circus, $147.00, there is Gymnastics, $7.00 per class (I think that's the only activity which is way cheaper than Karratha). Options here are endless here, I could enroll my kids into a fun filled activity every day, but how can I define cheap? What is cheap when prices are so similar and wages are not?!
