I have a family of 3 people, me my wife and a daughter, will I be able to save some money? Is this a good offer for an IT/software expert in School Management Systems?
Is 5000QAR enough for 2 bed room flat?
How much is living cost for 3 in Doha?

Not a bad offer in the School sector but the breakdown of basic and allowances is bit strange. it should be better the other way (9000+6000). You might be able to find a 2 bed room flat for Qr.5000 but 6000 will be better. A brand new normal car will cost you approximately 40-50k which can be arranged through installments.
