RM 3000/month Mana Cukup

Let's do some calculations here:-

In M'sia, the average family income is RM 3000/month (where father works,mother doesn't). i understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM 3000,but,to make things simple,let's take RM 3000 as the figure.ok lah,right?

Okay,let's stsrt rolling with a family which has Abah, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam.....

Calculation starts.....

1. Electricity and water bill: RM 100
(No air-con,no home theatre,no water heater....ok?)

2. Phone bills (telekom): RM 100

3. Meals for a happy family: RM 775
(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons.....?)

4. Abah makan/ teh tarik during working hours: RM 155
(RM 5/day, RM 5.....can eat what?)

5. Car repayment: RM 400
