This is a good salary, but for a family of five people, you will end up spending most of it and saving too little. First, you will need a big house (villa or apartment), in which case you will most probably pay more than your housing allowance. You will also need to buy/rent a car (2000 riyals a month) and allocate at least 1000 riyal for telephone and internet. So eventually you will have 15 to 18k to spend and save. That is more than enough for a family of 5 if you spend reasonably, but if you like to eat out and travel then the salary is not that much.
