Cost of Living.
Hello All,
Miss the Cost of Living section that used to be on the site and was very helpful. Since the question has not been asked for a while, hoping to get your input on the following to get an estimate on expenses.
In process of securing an opportunity which pays 18K per month with accomodation, utilities and the other usual benefits paid for.
Here is my breakdown for a family of 3 (2 adults, 1 year old baby)
Groceries - 3,500 QAR
Transportation - 3,500 QAR
Eat out (Nando's etc on weekend) -1,500 QAR
Misc - 3,000 QAR
Internet and TV - 400 QAR
2 cell phones - 600 QAR
Gym for 2 - 500 QAR
Total - 13,000 QAR
Your input is much appreciated.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Did you get enough sleep last night? You aren't making any sense at all. Try re-writing your comment please so that we can understand what it is you are attempting to say.
Fubar two persons .....
1, Shake himslef ....
2, Fubar , who justified him because you say it's pretty good & normal family's story.
Who said he can't track where the 3000 riyals goes every month?
@MM yes that 3000 Misc... could be for alcohol and canadian bacon! In that case, this estimation is really goooooood!
@ Shake - you can get a liquor & pork license at QDC, bring with you, your RP and QAR 1000 for deposit, soon you will join the community of many and enjoy Qatar, peace be with you!
No no ,we can't say it's normal for being unable to track where your 3000 Riyals go every month .... .... Thu, 19.06.2014 , 10.15 hrs
Tfs....:))))
Muhammad you could eliminate this expense entirely by staying in your house and watching TV, instead of going out and living your life LOL. I think his estimate is pretty good for a normal family earning a normal wage.
@MM: buhahahahaha lolz... by the way 1500/4weeks which is 375 what's wrong in it m single and I spend 300 or sometimes more on weekends and he has his family with 2 adults & 1year old baby..
@all: Guys he put some buffer its fine just for safe side for the estimation purposes he is right...
what are you guys whining about? it's his money, let him spend it and live his life to the fullest....
to OP - you forgot to include budget for alcohol.... 2500 to 3000/month...
Eat out (Nando's etc on weekend) -1,500 QAR for what ? , You can eliminate this totally . Instead of spending at restos go to your friends / colleagues / junior staffs / neighbours homes on alternative weeks , your month will pass so easily with a lot of gossip there as well ....................

This looks like a good estimate, I spend similar amount for my family, except Misc of 3000. Is that your rent? For the TV and Mobile Phone package, check with Ooredoo, they might have a bundle package, so it should bring the cost down.
wtf, why the hell your expenses are very high, you should know and knew your needs not the one what you want,
