Cost of living near HKG still a mystery...
Fair enough, but would someone with kids please answer my specific question regarding cost of living?
Are you limited to living in HKG or can you catch a train from the airport and live in the suburbs as a SO?
What could I use for a rough number to plan things financhially? ie: in the US a regional captain makes about $80,000US. I pay $1,000/month for a mortgage, $500/month for groceries, and $0 for schooling our children. If a SO at CX makes around $330,000HKD what percentage of that goes to rent/mortgage, food, and schooling?
From 400 Jockey's quote I have the information I need for one of these questions:
So to review:
1. Can I expect to be have the option to live outside HKG? Do any CX pilots live in the "suburbs"?
2. What could I expect to pay for housing to fit 2 adults and 3 children/month?
3. What could I expect to pay for groceries for 2 adults and 3 children?
4. I understand from 400 Jockey that I can expect to pay around HK$10,000 for 3 kids schooling after the CX assistance. Thank You for that info!
I would really appreciate another parents response as opposed to career advice. Thank You gentlemen.
