Good Afternoon

By way of introduction , I am Chris 28 (Hello)

I have been offered a job opportunity in Malta but I am not sure if the salary expectation is in line.

I have been offered 40 000 Euro a year.

My questions :

Is this enough to sustain a good lifestyle on the island for 2 people with a few Euro to save up each month
So it would be Net around 2600 (Including a deduction of NI for the second person from that and a pension contribution)

Will be going over as a married couple.

Guidance appreciated

Regards,
Chris

Thanks for the friendly and informative reply.
I have indeed read up on the other topics, so let me rather re-phrase.

Can anyone on this forum who is in this salary range please give me an indication of the standard of living (2 people worse case on this salary)are experiencing there.
-->
With money saved after expenses, how many overseas holidays they do.
How often the are able to eat out etc.
How much is a good contribution % of net wise towards retirement provident fund.

Constructive feedback much appreciated.

Chris
