I’m in Canada on Vancouver Island British Columbia and my grocery bill alone for a family of 5 is more than your entire budget for the month. It’s out of control here for food, fuel, rent/mortgages. You work to pay bills, that’s it.

Don’t treat the pregnancy like a Disability. She needs to still move around the same. There’s only one thing that’s different. She’s pregnant.

In the Philippines, people use "mineral water" as a general term for any bottled water, but most of it is not true mineral water…it is a common language habit to call any safe, packaged water "mineral," even when it is actually purified or distilled

Your electric bill is enormous. In France our monthly electric bill is 250€ in a house with 4 people and every thing is electric: heaters, hot water, stove, fridge, washing machine….
