00:01I've literally got no idea how much it costs, probably more than you think.
00:06Especially if you're going to get the right actual stuff to learn with, you know, like books and spaces and,
00:12I don't know, like computers now, you know, everything.
00:15I don't even know, quite a high number, like, it's like there's room for me, like food.
00:20I'd say 25k.
00:23A year?
00:24Yeah, for sure. If not, even more.
00:27A bit more would always help. So maybe I'll say 30k.
00:31Average, I'd say yearly, about 7,000 a year.
00:37And surprise and outside costs are extracurricular activities from schools,
00:43stationary exams and school trips, stuff like that.
00:49I imagine extra costs would be probably uniforms or repairs, lunches,
00:55getting kids to and from school. So I imagine it can be quite a lot if you're not prepared for it.
