How do you spend your salary?

my husband spends 6000 for rent and over all 1500 for all expences.Our weekly grocery expences are only 100 Qrs.We rarely go to Lulu.All the time we buy necessary things from local small shops next our home.So that way we save a lot of money out of 54000 Qrs what our monthly income is.yes we are vegetarians so we have not much to spend on foods.Restos we hardly go.But yes my husband is one of the richest in his colleagues.

50% of the salary will go in rent, 10% in bills like Ooredoo and kahrama, 20% in house hold expenses, 3% in charity 2% in petrol, 5% on car servicing from dealer and rest of the money which is only 10% keeps irritating me rest of the month that will it be sufficient for the remaining days.

Accommodation is expensive.................!!!!!!!!!!!

true. It is so unfair that rents are so high. some brokers advertise flats for Qar3500/- 4000 & they look like toilets. above that, they collect a commission. doesn't the GOVMT have a say on housing rents? Not everyone can afford these.

Government must reduce the rent cost in Doha... Its very expensive

Really Good Question... we were expecting since long time.

1. Half of the salary i paid from my room (accommodation)

2. from the balance money 3/4 paid for car loan

3. 1/4 for the Food and daily expense

4 0 for fun and saving

gd

unnecessary expensive for room rent and taxi. I am getting 1500QR bachelor house allowance, Currently bachelor single room is more between 1500 to 2500QR with all facilities some kind of area only. Pl increase the bachelor house allowance.The govt. want look this problem also.....

Good i left Qatar. Bahrain is such a welcome change. Everything is so easy. I just got myself a good 1 bedroom hall kitchen flat.. fully furnished for just 300BD or 3000QR approx.... No hassles. General cost of living is low here as well. I am loving it

Accommodation is sooo expensive....in Qatar.

40% of the salary is spent on rent/accommodation, even that's not going to Qataris, it's going to Mallus partitions. If this government take over all these vacant flats and rent it out then it would bring down the prices a lot. Nowadays what's happening is, neither villas are occupied nor rent is coming down..

25% saving 75% expenses......

My 40% salary i transfer to my family for general expense and everything they like,,,,,,,,,Rest i spend here,,,,,then i wait for the next,,,,,,,btw, who know whats coming neXt,,,,Jus imagine that u guys r jus saving money and one day u die, then what ?? the money which u hav saved, will be spent by ur family like a Jackpot,,,,,,,So, Njoy life guys,,,,Live life like a Mini King :D :D

Planning & budgeting in line with your earnings are more important.

It doesnt mean that need to sqeeze your regular expenditures, but cut short more on purchases, every time think about your savings specially if you have kids. Cause for expats nothing is certain here, be prepared to meet any contingency's.

half of them on rent and food and rest saving.. money is never enough.. you have to spent it correctly..best way is just sit at home ..never go to market..

you must apply the 70-20-10% rule...don't live like a king...life is like a tidel wave full of suprises and predictions, sometimes you are on top and sometimes you are below. so, instead of spending your money lavishly, save for the future and definitely you will all go back to your homecountry when you grow old although i truly understand that we need to enjoy life but with not to the extent that you are spending your money like a millionaires....
