Listen, if you are expected to pay housing and school fees out of 30K, you will be left with around Qrs.12,500 after forking out for housing and one school fee (primary) per month. You then have car expenses (min. Qrs.1,500 a month to lease I think), then water/electricity, telephone and food..

You will survive for sure but don't expect to save...

How many kids do you have??

What do you mean by have a "band on your contract"?

Are they giving you annual tickets for the family etc...?
