Is it enough to live?
By Diogo Alvares •
Dear Friends,
I have a proposal to work in Doha as a entertainer.
They asked me to work 8 hours day, 6 days a week.
Could you give me your opinion about this salary?
Is it fine to live in Doha and save some money?

Correct, by entertaining others you will make many contacts , you will expand your sponsors business, you will get higher salary & promotion. Plus other benefits.
Entertain others, dont entertain yourself . you will save enough . good luck & welcome to the land of cruisers
Excellent money , save 75% & invest in Mutual Funds in your home place ........... Good luck ...........
Not a bad start.Again it depend on your lifestyle. If you are single, than you can live comfortably with a bit of saving. But if you have dependents, it will be a bit tight.
The two most expensive items here, in my, opinion are accommodation and schooling. Rest is ok.
If single, go for shared accommodation . You will find a lot of like minded people whom you can share an apartment with. This will cost you roughly 5-6 k a month ( furnished).
For transportation, i would suggest do not buy a car immediately. Rent a car for a few months. Per month rental for a small car is around 1600- 2000. Bigger are expensive( exclusive of fuel cost.. which is not much)
Communication allowance is good. You can save a bit here. Other expenses are totally up to your lifestyle.
B.t.w, what kind of entertainer are you?
Cheers
I know people on much less doing fine. And people earning the same as you doing very well. It depends on what you like spending money on.
It all depends on your lifestyle. Are you single ? You need minimum of 10K per month to sponsor the family.
Although I am concerned that you have to work six days a week, the salary is reasonable and you can save 3-4k a month possibly
In shaa Allah good offer
