Hi all,

I have made a summary table of my expenses for the year 2017/18. Relates to the Treviso Province (but not the main town of Treviso).

Hope you find it useful.

Hello
Thank you for posting the spreadsheet of the expenses . Give me some prospective of some fixed expenses. I try to gather as much information as I can. I understand everybody's lifestyle is different. My husband and I are planning to move to Italy to Treviso this year. We are very aware the apartments in Treviso are expensive but maybe we will be lucky and find something suitable if not we are open to places close by . I would like to ask you some other questions. Looks like you might be the right person to ask. Please let me know how can I contact you.
