Tips on moving to Doha

Hi Guys & Gals,
I am slated to move to Doha in next 2months and have been regularly visiting this highly informative website.

Could some one please help me with following:
1. What should be the budget for family of 4 (two kids below 6yrs age)? Exclusive of medical and school fees.

2. Monthly grocery budget? Assuming I maintain a moderately decent life style.

3. How much would it cost to hire a maid (part time/ live in)?

4. How mush would it cost to hire a driver (10hrs a day)?

3. If the housing, utilities, medical and children schooling is taken care of by the employer what can i save from a pay packet of 20K QR?

Thanks

make sure ur company are paying for schooling and housing, the are the two highest costs here. rental prices here are as you will know form reading this site astronomical.in terms of other outgoings, most things are relatively similar prices to UK i have found. there is on this webiste a guide to things like groceries, telephone, tv, electric, water etc which is pretty accurate.
