Can anyone tell me what is the cost of decent life is doha for someone with a wife and new born"I already asked and got very different views " the lide style does not have to be very luxury life but good enough for highly educated person.
the true cost of being an expatriate is the 'opportunity cost' (any economists out there??)
i.e. the cost of what you are doing / proposing, as measured against the alternative.
The real cost of becoming an expatriate is what you give up - home, family, etc.
Essentially, it seems to me (after 10 years in KSA, and 1 year in Big Q) that you 'put your real life on hold' for the (undoubted) benefits of saving a lot of money, having good holidays, enjoying the sun, making new friends, being part of new cultures, being safer than at home, generally having less stress - oh, hang on, maybe it is not that bad after all!!

Yes, it gets hot - very hot, what with the humidity as well, it is pretty nigh unbearable in July /August / early Sept.
Thankfully, you go from a/c'd car to a/c'd office to a/c'd shopping mall, etc, etc.
But wish you well, and good luck if you decide to come here!
silver, thanks for your feedback. You said you enjoy the sun , can you enjoy 46 degrees!

Yes ... i think i can agree on that figure. On top of that ... should put around 1500 QR to 2000 QR a month when the kids come into school age.
I hope that my QR 380,000 annual salary will be enough
yeah, i think you are very close..
Thanks Angelo. QR 20,000 of expense to be close to a decent life is too much. I think people in doha are well paid to live and save.
To live a close to decent life in Qatar for a male, his wife and a kid you would need atleast Qrs.20,000/-
A two bedroom flat Qr.7,000/- to Qr.9,000/-
Weekly food allowance (Grocery) Qrs 500/-
Eat out once a week Qrs.300/- for two
Vehicle allowance for a month Qrs.2,000/-
Clothes, Misc. Etc per month Qrs.1,500/-
Save for retirement/rainy-day Qrs.3,000/- per month
