At least you need 350 kd for renting apartment, and minimum 300-400 kd monthly living cost for the person with family, this is without schooling and transportation,
Good luck

House rent PM KD 350
School KD 700-800 (per year for two children
food and grocery KD 250-300
Total : 700-750 , you can save around KD250.

It is not a good offer for 4 persons family. Please let me know your domain,technology, years of experience , qualification and current salary , so I can advise you how much you should get.

I assume your monthly salary is 100000 INR (KD 500) in India.If you are getting KD 500 in India , there is no meaning to come here on KD 1000 , if you change your job in India then you will get easily KD 600-700(120000-140000). It is really bad offer for those who is getting KD 500 in his native country. In Kuwait the rent is almost 5 times more than India, other Stuffs are also expensive compare to India, you will not able to save KD 200 monthly with your family. You wouldn’t learn any new technology here. I advise you not to come here on KD 1000 , try to negotiate with HR, you should get KD 1700-2000. This HR peoples are very clever , so be smart and ask them to give KD 1700-2000. Have you got the offer from financial sector?
