Hi everyone,

You must get this a lot but I cant really see a good answer. After rent can you live on 500BHD a month as a single guy. Mid 40's reduced partying etc. but would like gym, British club membership and decent tv package.

Your thoughts would be great.

Yep we get this a lot.

Looking at your profile, you are from the UK, so I am going to be blunt and say no. Because you said reduced partying. It should be more like zero partying (alcohol is super expensive compared to the UK) and very little eating out. Search the forum. Housemaids in good households get 250 BD a month with living costs covered (groceries, medical, toiletries etc.). After rent, you have got multiple costs e.g. groceries, transport etc. (assuming medical and so on is covered).

If you manage your lifestyle severely then yes it is entirely possible - not sure how much BC costs but a good neighborhood gym would not be expensive. Ditto tv.

If you do all your drinking in the British club, then you might. Booze is so heavily discounted in there.
