Hi

Me, My Wife and 10 month old daugther would be comming to Dubai on Long Term Project. Salary offered is 14K AED / Month this inlcude accomodation, transport and stuff.

As I gathered information Expensea will be:
Rental(Sudio) - 5500 pm
Transport - 2000 pm
Household - 4000 pm
Maid - 1200 pm
Total - 12700 pm

Almost no savings.

Is that 14k including your accom etc. ie. at the end of the month you get a cheque for 14k and your housing has already been paid. if so it's livable, if not then i don't see how it is. One thing, is your wife going to be working? Cos if she's not why do you need a maid?

Thanks Andy,

Yes you are correct, i will get cheque at the end of the month. And Still I will need to maid, since she might be working. But would like to calculated like it.

Please let me know if this is liveble still.

You'll be just fine then, as long as your accom is fully paid for along with your dewa bills etc. No problems.

[suneetsharma]

You said "just fine", does it mean that i will be touching to the border and there will be no saving at all. Since still have not added other expenses like clothing, internet, phone and roaming around with family for entertainment.

Please suggest I should ask for more, and how much would be good to save at least 30% of salary or say 5000 per month minimum. Since saving is the thing which we need most in life.

I hope I am not bothering you with my questions.

Saving is not the thing we most need in life.

Living is.

And you know your own lifestyle, I've lived on everything from under AED1000/month to well in excess of AED100,000 a month.....

[suneetsharma]

Yeah Agree, I do agree with you for pointing on Living Style.

I think I am expecting same life style I have here.

So at the same time, i got your message I will not be able to maintain same in this package, I believe I should ask for 23K.

Thanks Andy,

Suneet.

Ask for it then - remember shy bairn's get nee grub!

Sorry...but maybe I misunderstand the original post...it says 14k/this includes accmodation, transportation etc.

does that not mean you will need to pay the accoum out of those 14k ?
will you get money in addition to the 14k or will they give you a flat/house PLUS the 14k ?
what about home leave, insurance for you and your family ? I actually don't think you can live on 14k if you need to pay accom out of that !

Thanks Lenochka,

Can you expedite, how much i should expect?

Here I m living lavishly. Car, complete kitchen, internet, phone, etc etc etc etc.

Just i am expecting a figure, which can just guide me. Rest I will manage with my employer.

Thanks Again,

Suneet
