how much could I save

How much do you estimate I might save on a salary of 25000 QR, accomodation covered? I tend not to be a big spender, though I'm not big on cooking.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Housing is your vaugest option as there are so many options.

You could find a reasonable apartment in a reasonable area for 8/9000 ish or a nice villa in a nice area for 25000. Just depends what you want or need.

thank you darling, I've seen such a list, though I guess I wonder about other unforeseen expenses too, as there always seem to be many of them in my life thus far

25000 - 3500 (room rent)

21500 - 1500 (food)

20000 - 1600 (car rent)

18400 - you might save this amount
