Default Package for family or 1 person and visa question

Hi. My hubby has been offered US$75000p.a as salary in Dubai. The package is total gross and accommodation, schooling etc. is not covered. From my earlier research it showed that this salary (approx. 270000AED pa.)is almost impossible to survive on for a family of 2 adults, 1child (primary school) and 1baby. We plan to stay in a 2bedroom apt as I am advised from the forum that a villa is definately out of our reach.
1)Today I read a thread in the forum saying one needs minimun 260000AED to survive? I want to know is this 260000 for a family's needs? And what does survive mean? Does it mean I will have no savings or that I will not be able to make ends meet?
2)My husband has a job. What are the visa and work procedures if I choose (or have to, considering expenses) to work as well?
