Karin, totally. You have to do a bit of research on the costs out here and what employers will provide.
Even a singleton like me I had to learn about the costs out here- when I first came out I was living of credit card to get myself set-up and buy all the things I needed - like an ironing board, plates and stuff - have since learnt that most employers give an allowance if you request it - bit too late now but will know for next time I guess. Its a lesson learning time for us overseas working virgins. I thought I was pretty well prepped before coming out - I read up and found Qatar Living very useful (thanks to all) but still learnt a lot from experiencing it myself. Now I know where to shop and make savings and have recovered the debts I ran up from my initial move out. I wont get rich working here or have a huge pension or savings but I will have fun - and is that not what its all about.
