Hi all..can anyone help?

I have a job to come to in Doha.
However, all expenses both back home and in Doha.....how does 2500 per month disposable income sound....is it enough for general living, eating, drinks etc..?

Thanks for all your comments guys...but britexpat was right when he said "Disposbale Income"..that means all bills, debts,housing, utilities and travel to and from work paid for.....but not entertainment and shopping....so my priority would be beer, beer, beer...golf, oh, and members of the opposite sex. (but not on a full time basis...wot wot??)

Didn't he say 2500 "disposable" income?

2500 QR, that's pathetic, people should be ashamed to offer so little.

2500 Canadian if other expenses are covered, thats not too bad.

if you moved here 10 years ago, may be it was kindda enough.. not anymore...

nowadays 1500 is not enough even for food for family of 3, as it's indicated in your profile... like no any possible way...

but the guy is asking about "general living, eating, drinks etc.."..

so for 2500 there is no GENRAL living (just the miserable one), there IS a food though.. there is no drinking in pubs and bars either.. i doubt he will get the license for the alcohol with this salary, as well as car loan, etc.

so as Dragon said, depends on the life stayle..but not in this case.. he won't be able to CHOOSE his life style.. the only choice will be given is a poor and sad lifestyle..

so... rpmba, you better think twice...

you must be kidding.. may be you mean 25,000?

2500 will be hardly enough for the food only... forget about the car, bars, pubs, nice clothes..
