Hello,

1250BD isn't perfect but it isn't bad either. It all depends on your lifestyle, where you want to live and what type of school you want your kid to study. Surely you will not be able to send your child to a school like St. Christopher but don't forget many people in Bahrain live on way less salary than yours so I'm sure you should be able to find a school for your kid to study in Bahrain.

Utilise the company you are going to work for and their knowledge. Always ask HR of your company these questions and they should be able to help you - suggest you what to do.

Hi thanks brightonguy for the info. it's 2150 not 1250 actually. yes, surely it's all depends on the lifestyle and how we live. I assume having we're not a big spender and hope we can survive well.
