JAVI, he is not going to hit a red light.. he is going to WALK to his office...:):)
Patern, if you want to live a normal life here, you actually will do need a car. But on the other hand, if you are ok with staying home all the time, you will be able to save most likely about 50-60% of your basic salary. Since all your expense will go only towards the FOOD, so about US$500-600 a month would be enough. but again, how long you are willing to live as a hermit? you will need to go out, to buy some good, to entertain... here depends on your priorities..
some ;) might leave at the bar about US$700 a NIGHT, some have never been to the bar... some only dine in the 5* hotels, where the meal starts from $50-60 per person. Some cook exclusively home, and don't spend a penny on outings.. some are travelling out of qatar every once in a while and spend money abroad.. some only go home for vacation once a year on the Company's expense...it all depends...
but basic (far from being luxury) things are:
grocery – $500-600
utilities - $120-160
average car (if) - $ 500-600 (could be less if car is cheaper)
other $200-250
Total: $1,350 – 1,500
