well it appears my math was way off, and he does earn now what he was earning here, but this is with the housing allowance. he is earning 2/3 without that. But the cost of living is so much lower here, there is no way I would expect him to earn 50,000 QR monthly unless he is a medical professional or something. at the height of his career living in California, one of the highest paid and most expensive areas, he wasnt even earning that.
