Hi I am a female educator with two years experience. I am married but my husband is not a teacher. I am offered a job by a school in Dammam . I am offered a salary of 7500 riyals for 10 months. One month paid vacancy . The first three months I would have accommodation but when I take my husband over the agency is not sure if the school will provide me with family accommodation which means I might have to rent.
Can someone please advice if that salary is livable especially if I have to rent. Would I be able to save anything?
Thanks a lot

Will be hard to meet both ends but many people here live with such income.

Thanks so much for replying. Would that amount be enough to rent and live a good life?

Depends on what's your definition of 'good life' :-)
This amount will be hardly enough for 2 persons after paying rent.

You mean 7500 per month or is it for a total of 10 months ?
