Hello!,
I am moving to DR next month and will be working in Playa Grande,
I know there are two cities nearby, Cabrera and other which name I cant remember.
How much should I be making (usd) to be living comfortable with my wife and 2 dogs? Not rich life, just enjoyable and safe living. Thanks!!

First welcome to the forum.

Second have you been here before?

Are you working for a corporation and has all his work visas in place?

$$$ depends on lifestyle, rental cost, and many other factors. You can spend between $1500 and $3000 US a month again depending. If you stick to local products you will keep costs down. We use mainly local products, eat in local (non tourist ) restaurants, drive older vehicles, and live here for about 60% of what the cost would be for the same lifestyle in the US.

Hope this helps. Read the multiple forums posts here and ask any questions you may have.

Thanks a lot Bob, I will be working for a Hotel Chain who will get all working visa and documents taken care of, expected salary is about 2,500. Would have to wait for formal proposal to get all details.
