New & Need Some Help

dear Nefertiti

i will tell u what my plan was to distribute my salary here

up to 5000 for housing

up to 2000 for car rental

up to 1000 for phone & internet line

up to 4000 for food & entetainment

total = 12000 so i end up with 3000 extra for saving

do u think i can make it?

3000 for room rent will be on Villas, sometimes if you are lucky you can find room for rent in a new villas! of course you have to choose which place you will be staying you just dont grab the room because its 3000.

and car, in hsbc you can loan a chevrolet for like 980 per month! or a honda for 1500..

normally i'm not a real saver of money ... i know its a big problem specially that i'm here on my own ... back home family and friends are there always for me

how good is the room of 3k u r talking about?i want to save some money but not against my comfortability now .. i mean i'm not willing to stay in a place below the standards just to save extra thousand or two

of course i'm not thinking of a fancy car ... and not taking an exhausted one ..

what would 1000 or 1500 instalment for a car offer me??

if you are into saving! you can budget your salary.

first thing you should learn is that you should never be fusy with things and the way you live.

You can rent a room for 3000 - 3500,now if you are a bahraini really you can get a driving liscense that easy and you can loan a car for less than 1000 a month, you do not need a fancy or big Car most important is you can get in to where you going!

Yes there is a lot of memeber here in QL says its small its because they are earning more than yours and there lifestyle is posh and they are living in a nice villa, apartment or condo! so 15K is not enough for them.

There is a lot of asian people here in doha, earns less than 5000 but they manage to live a good life some of them even drives a Car, go for an expensive shopping and even saves money and sends money at home.

So really, it depends what is your lifestyle and way of living!

in Bahrain.

Welcome aboard mate, before anything else, people learn to welcome this chap on board first...

and well like our two good ladies put it, its a good salary to get you through the month very comfortably but if you want to save then just a little bit impractical...but still you can do a lot in that...and I would say go for a Studio diff in rent can come to about 1500 - 2000 QR...the rest is purely dependent on your life-style mate...!!!

Cheers...

You can get a 1BR independant apartment in a Big Villa for around QR 4000-4500 mainly in Hilal area. You can buy a Qatar Map in The Centre shopping Mall. You can buy a Brand New car for around QR 1000 a month 5 years bank loan without a single QR deposit. Contact me if you need a car. I have contact to Nissan & Renault. I will ask for a special discount for you ;)

Those areas are close by it will take only 10 to 15 mints.

You can buy small foldable Qatar Map from any of the bookshops...try Jarir Books near Ramada Signal. Also get a copy of Marhaba book its very useful for newcomers.

formatted soul

yes total package is QR 15,000

after doing the math according to your suggestions i might end up with 2500... as i have added telephone & internet line summed up to QR 1,000

how far are the places you mentioned...as i don't know nothing about the roads here yet

charanmafiriyals

thanx samyaUK

u think i need a flat, or better go for a studio???

been told that car is gonna cost like 2k ... i'm bahraini but never worked or lived outside bahrain ... not even depended on myself 100% like its going to happen to me here

forgot to ask aobut one more thing,,, where can i get a map of Qatar that explains the roads in a clear way.. so i can keep it in my car and deend on it

Is that all inclusive? you mean total package is Qr. 15,000?

Rent single bed flat cost - 6000...good places to live is TV R/A, Markhiya, Bin Omran, Al Saad, Bin Mahmoud etc.

Car small saloon car - 1500 , If you are panning to stay here longer better to buy.. monthly installment will be only around 1000 for small cars.

Food & Entertainments - 3 to 4 K

Its enough to live but wont get much to save.

A decent flat is going to cost around 6-7k, renting a small car will be around 1k per month then u have to look at your daily expenses food, clothing etc. From you nickname im guessing your Bahraini so u should know the rough prices, but i think u will be ok on 15k but try a push at least for a transport allowance...
