Cable Tv
Car - loan repayment, insurance, petrol
Monthly Grocery
Medical Insurances
Entertainment
Miscl Exp / Other expenses i should consider
Thanks Painther and Gduck for these details..
@ painther
to be specific on what i meant by entertainment - eating out couple of times, a movie and couple of visit to malls etc..
is there any other major expense i need to consider?
Ofcourse my aim would be to save money , but also not to be frugal
@ bijuabraham
I agree that each one of us has a different living style and nature of expense, the aim of the query was to understand a midway (neither frugal nor luxurious) so that i could make a fair estimate. Thanks
Rent-2 bed = 5000
Schooling (Indian School) = 900
Electricity & Water = 150
Gas = 25
Landline/Mobile/Voip = 100
Internet = 250
Cable Tv = 00 (u can use triple offer landline/ineternet/cable in 250 QR only)
Car - loan repayment, insurance, petrol = 1500
Monthly Grocery= 1500
Medical Insurances = Normally provided by all companies (& if ur comp dont give, check if it's really worth!!)
Entertainment = U shudn't ask this qustion, Hw do any1 know ur liking of entertainment, I kept it 00 assuming u like inhouse entertainment only :)-
Miscl Exp / Other expenses i should consider = Your wish!!
Keep some money for deposits (returnable) for ekectricity water/ housing etc.
You can also save QR 500 against car loan if you take smaller car.
These figures stand good if you are coming here for saving Only; Double all these expenses if you want to enjoy luxury!!!
You can control your living expense, housing also availble for lesser price but the facility may be less, no one can say what is your style of living and expense depends.
