Hi All,

I got a job offer in AbuDhabi for 18K AED per month.( Which includes house and local transport allowance ).I have to arrange accommodation for myself.

I am planning to move there with my family (myself ,wife and 2 yr old kid).

So want to know whether this salary is sufficient to live in AD ?
How much am I able to save?

Your suggestions are much appreciated .

Thanks

You can manage and save 3K pm. Much depends on your lifestyle and type of accommodation you take.

hey buddy..

For and Indian ,your salaries are on the higher end of the spectrum. Sorry to say this.Racial discrimination do exist in this part of the world. Western Expats are paid higher than the South Asians for equivalent jobs .

You can get a decent apartment for 70,000 -10000 AED per year or for even less if you can live in Musafah.. So I think you can save enough money
