By fahd_nizam •
Friends - I have recently got a job offer in Qatar for
14,300 QR (includes basic , transport and accommodation allowance)- 25 Days Annual Year, once flight tickets to my home country (India) and insurance for self . I am single and my office would be in Banks Street . Please advise on the monthly expenses if I plan to stay in shared accommodation.
Any advise on expenses and shared accomodation near Banks Street would be helpful. Thanks.

HOW DOES THAT PACKAGE SOUND TO YOU?
this is comparatively good offer.
you can limit all your expenses within 5K Qrs/month if you are single even couple, for an executive level life.
Sincerelyyours, I love how you think ... great ideas for personal finance LOLLOLOL!
I am planning to bring along my mother in another 6 months . How about a family in the above salary. Also how about local transportation. Are buses available or cabs cheaper
What about a simple lifestyle ?
Is anyone aware of any shared accomodation close to Banks Street . Would be coming in Doha in mid Jan'13.
Thanks for the response :)
Sincerelyurs, you will be here after two year for good adv LOL
With shared accomodation you can live quite ok in QR 5-6000 a month. Would be sufficient to enjoy your stay. Dont have to limit yourself within work and home..it may drive you crazy ...so enjoy as long as it lasts keeping an eye on what you want in the form of savings. I would only say, dont go overboard in saving (though you are better placed to decide).
Yup if u take written list to Hypermarkets, travel light to back home without buying stupid gadgets or chocolates to relatives and if u keep ur wallet promise that u can survive in few pair of clothes for several years here in Doha... Trust me don't spend at all... Keep urself busy on Internet and music and doing ur office n home work... Don't drink or smoke or eat heavy stuff... Be vegetarian and jeep ur profile low.... After two years you will try to search me to say thanks becoz u will be multi millionaire by my advises :)
depends upon ur life style..
