Hi, I would like to find out what the cost of living is like in Shanghai for a family of 4. My husband has been offered a job with Boeing and will be earning in Singapore dollars. His annual package converted to Chinese yuan is approximately 1 118,825.00. His package will cover everything from rent,water,electricity,fuel,car,international schooling etc. Would anyone be able to tell me whether we could live comfortably on this wage,as we do have a very cushy lifestyle in Brisbane and wouldn't want to trade it for anything less.
