1. Saving depends on your life style. You can save 75% or more. Also you can easily spend the whole salary. But being realistic you can and should at least save 50%.

2. Get you cold gear with you but be reasonable. When it is cold here, temp would drop to 5 deg celsius. Keep in mind that you are not travelling to the North Pole.

3. You can manage to buy a banger (I have suffered to know what does it mean) for 10 to 15000 QRs. In such case I can figure out who would be your boyfriend (the mechanic). Alternatively, I would recommend that you buy a good car that would not depreciate much like Honda, Nissan, Toyota, so that when yu decide to sell you will not loose much
