Oneen...i couldn't agree more...but i don't think it would make you happy seeing your family suffering with you coz of lack of finances. I would rather bear the pain of separation and let them live a comfortable life back home, than be here and stay all day inside the four corners of the room, and watch TV which is being repeated every 8 hours. QR2500 for a 5X5 room in a sharing villa, QR500 per month per child for schooling, QR600 for child transportation to school and back (cheaper if you prefer the school bus where your child had to be picked up at 5AM for the 7AM class), QR1800 for food, electricity, water, internet for QR500...if you're earning QR7000, you only have QR1000+ left in your savings...and if you'll get a car, you don't even have enough money to pay for petrol. That is one reason why they put a cap salary for family sponsorship, so that the family will not suffer...and if you plan on leaving them with a nanny so that your wife can work, that's another 800-1000 per child plus transportation to the nanny's house. Check if you are willing to take this chances.
