Not enough for family with 2 kids....you will save none if you need to pay for accommodation and children's schooling. 7000QAR is barely enough for you to sponsor your family.

You probably won't be able to sponsor your family with that low salary.

hi, to be frank with you salary is bit low compared to the living cost in Qatar, it is too expensive over here, a moderate single bedroom decent house will cost you not less than 3500QR ( Ezdan wakra), kids education will cost you not less than 500QR per month, a small vehicle ( which is essential) will cost you a EMI of 700QR / month( for 5 years), normal grocery for 4 will cost you around 2000 ( very minimum), so you will end up borderline without any savings, think judge and decide.

you mean 7k, means 7000 Qatari riyals ?????

that is very low salary. for a family of 3, you should at least be earning 17,000 to 20,000 Qatari Riyals
