OK, devide QR37,000 per month by 3.65 and you get US$10,000 per month. If housing is paid for (the only big expense), then can you live on the $10K. Everything else is close to the price in the States.

If you are sharp enough to get that type of money, why would you ask this bunch of mal-contents questions. These are the people making QR2,000 a month. If you don't know, the US Government publishes a comparision of living cost for all their postings. Cost is about 1.2 times DC.Since you will not have housing cost, would be cheaper than DC.
