Not sure what area your thinking of but if your talking sydney then your a bit off with the rent,our 2 bed modest bungalow with garage and garden in northern beaches is $495 pw and thats a bargain. Mobile phone you can spend $29 vodaphone cap and get $150 worth of calls/texts (plenty). satt tv -wouldnt bother..its all gash.
..elect -$100 per quarter, NO council tax if your renting, car insurance fully comp on a 3 door 1.8 hatchback with 65%no claims $55 per month,private health/dentist insurance $73 per month, all the others are about right id say. reckon youd need to be bringing home min $5000 -6000 per month to live in Sydney as a family of 4.
