these "tailored for me" requests are usually asked with usually the same response. do your own math.

now here are a few tips:

one saudi riyal is in rough equalevance with 10 Indian Rupees.

some indian families survive with monthly expenses close to the following examples:

2000 SAR per month surviving

3500 SAR per month still surviving

5000 SAR per month living

7000 SAR per month living well

10000 SAR per month Living great.

these are expenses. think about how much do YOU want to spend and how much to YOU want to save. this will help decide whats good for you.

so now you know if you get what ever amount, what wil make you happy.
