My wife and i have been here for 5years coming this November. she started on 24000QR tax free with free housing and free utilities( power and water) also free airfares back to home country once a year. Transport allowances of 2000qr which we use to get a loan to buy a 4wd, which now we own now. We also get free health insurances which includes dental. The only thing we pay for is food, fuel which is very cheap , phone and internet and everyday stuff.

We have no children here which could be the killer for allot families wallets. Schools are very dear and most are not as good as england or Australia. They lack good teachers due to most leaving due to pay and been badly treated by the local Qatar kids. Children have a hard time finding things to do here that doesn't cost money. I have seen alot of friends leave due children's eduction or cost of having them here. I have also seen families go back worse off then they come here. from owning loans and credit cards and had to sell there house back home to pay off loans. Banks will give anyone a credit card and loan but will stop you leaving country until you get a bank clearances. We have a credit card which we pay 100% off each month

So if you like to spend what you earn and live above you salary which is easy to do here. you will be in trouble when you decide to leave, or be fired which can be anytime.The five years i have been here 80% of employs at my wifes work have been asked to leave or fired. Due to placing Qatar nationals in there place. can happen at anytime they aren't loyal to western people.

So 30000qr is above average and allot can live here on less but just remember you may not like it here or be replace after 3 months so live here like it is short time. Make sure you can pay your loans if you have to leave.
