Cost of living

Hello All,

Miss the Cost of Living section that used to be on the site and was very helpful. Since the question has not been asked for a while, hoping to get your input on the following to get an estimate on expenses.

In process of securing an opportunity which pays 18K per month with accomodation covered, utilities and the other usual benefits paid for.

Here is my breakdown for a family of 3 (2 adults, 1 year old baby), we do not drink which I believe helps eliminate one cost.

Groceries - 3,500 QAR 

Transportation - 3,500 QAR

Eat out  -1,500 QAR

Misc - 3,000 QAR

Internet and TV - 400 QAR

2 cell phones - 600 QAR

Gym for 2 - 500 QAR

Total - 13,000 QAR

Your input is much appreciated.

You might need to add QR 2000 more for the Groceries, since you have a 1 year old. Diapers and milk don't come cheap and when they are over one, they demand more milk formula, also adding other things for the baby.
