I am wondering if it is enough to live there and save some money.

Dear Mr hirands, have you ever been to Europe or America, just visit there you will know about their lifestyle, earning and how much they spend. 6000$ he can't earn in America or in Europe, his current Salary is 900 Euro which is less than QR 5000, and he got offer of more than QR 18000. He can live as Shaikh here.

If 6000$ includes accomodation you cannot live the life of a European / American.

Better develop Asian way of life then you can save about 2000$ until you have kids.
