Hello All,

I have been offered an onsite opportunity to Malaysia and will be paid around 7500RM, can anyone please let me know if this much money is suffice to survive and can expect to save some money?

Appreciate your responses.

Thanks
Ankush

technically yes, you can survive. savings will depend on how u live and your expenditures. will u b by yourself or do u have a wife and kids? what is ur work location? i have made some posts before on expenditures. have a look.
