These are provincial figures. Not realistic I have to tell you. Earn and evaluate how you it's spent first, only then can you come up with tentative figures. You haven't factored in electricity and water cost,fare,emergencies,michango hapa na pale,garbage collection,repairs. Your food budget is sh 3000 but food prices keep fluctuating. What are u using to cook the food? gas,charcoal or stove,Ni ngumu to be exact. Lol @ gf sh 2,000.If she's the type that relies on you for everything from hair,clothes,fare to airtime then triple that. My small advice is,double the figure for each expense to be safe. Anaanika kwa jua kisha antafuna tafu-tafu! Portfolio: Sold You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.
