How to budget responsibly
- Check current listings in the specific neighborhoods you would actually accept.
- Ask whether arnona, building fees, parking and furniture are included.
- Model the real commute: public transport, one car, or two cars can change the city comparison.
- For young children, obtain actual daycare or preschool quotes before deciding what salary is sufficient.
- Add a 10%–15% buffer for setup costs and irregular expenses during the first year.
