Just checking - you do have a Calling Visa don't you? Too many employers are scamming Indian nationals by getting them to arrive on a tourist visa which cannot be converted into any other visa such as a work permit.

You would need to send your daughters to government schools if they are that age because international schools are expensive. Four people can live on 7500.

However please note your income tax until about September 2019 will be 28%. This means your pay will only be about 5400 per month.
