err... i'm an engineer and the $650 is my food allowance per month. I was just wondering if that is enough, I don't fancy eating in posh restaurants everyday maybe once a week is not bad but i do have a strong liking to coffee hehehe..

@ janeyjaney & formatted soul..its usually people asking abt salary whther its enough or not..so i just assumed at one go that it is about salary.

@ boo0221, 650 US $ food allowance is a pretty good amount!

Muhammed, maybe you should read first before placing your comments.

$650 is more than enough unless you fancy having dinner at those uber posh places and eat there every single day. ;)

A single person can run his life here from 500 riyals/month to millions/month.

there r people eearning 500 but its damn too low for the current economy, 500 would be difficult to live with , maybe 1000 would do fine.

Formatted soul is rite there...it depends on what u eat , where u shop etc.

State ur job so the people can tell u whther 650 dollars is worth for ur job or u have to ask for more.

Depends on what you eat... Its more than enough for a moderate eating person.... of course not in a Five star Hotel everyday!
