I should add, we don't have a budget, this is just what we spend, we always cook at home, bottle of wine at the weekend rather than going out. I own my motorbike, she owns her car. I would say, a simple family life.

I downloaded one of those expense tracker aps last month and gave it a go.
Background info:
Age 36, have lived in Thailand for 10 years.
Married for the last 6 years. Thai wife age 33.
Child 3 years old.
Wife gave up her job when having our child, to be a homemaker, small business owner, and distance M.A Degree student.
She plans to return to work when our child starts Grade 1. (they're now in KG1) having upgraded her BA to an MA, or may continue with a PhD.
she owns her own house which she rents out, I own a condo (2 more years of repayments) that I rent out, and we rent a private house here in a private moo baan.

Well, I might as well answer some questions in order to sedate some posters emotions.
With our child, we choose to live in a house rather than my condo, so I rent out my condo and we rent out a house. My wife’s house that she rents out is in a different province.
240k baht in uni fees... yes, she’s doing a distance MA with a British University. I pay ¼, she pays ¼, her parents pay ½.
Coffee
School fees, we had the choice to pay monthly or by term, we chose monthly as might have moved during the term.
Insurances: all paid annually, not monthly, all of which are due in October and November… Can you wait that long to find out or is the excitement too much?
Visas – annual extension, paid, ummm, annually, not monthly.
Motorbike service: It’s a Ducati, 10k baht isn't expensive.
Purpose of the thread: Solely to annoy Jdiddy.
