Hard to live in Qatar
Dear all,
Since I'm in this forum, I remark that life seems expensive in Qatar.
When I see that people have a salary of 10-14000 QR and renting appart costs minimum 5000 QR how could you save money after meal, furniture, etc..
Regards.
Abdelkader, living in Belgium-Brussels

Hey .... ..."Tell us about yourself
I'm maried and I have 4 children. My goal is to go in a country of Emirate or Qatar or Saudi Arabia to study arab because we are non arabic speakers."
----> I quote that from your profile ... if you think it is expensive living in Qatar i would sincerely suggest to stay where you are. :-)

yeah.. i was going to add: ...or ppl have their own goals here, apart from crazy savings.. like changing the life styles, like getting new experience, like some personal issues..or like in Novi's case: to learn new language and new culture... so whoever are here here, it is THEIR choice....everyone still has his/her own country to go back to..

gpsman,, ...Strange comment..
Its all relative, since different people have different requirementsand standards.
I know people who live on 10k a month and others who can't manae to on 30k.
I am sure its the same in "Belgium"..
gpsman said
No offense. It's only ...No offense. It's only observations after some investigations about costs of life. I knew what we heard by media. But when you go deeper in research, you'll compare what you see with what you get.
To novita77, we are at this moment thinking about moving to another country for a year maybe more. We have different choices : Morocco, Emirates, Qatar.
I have opportunity to take a sabattic year ("année sabatique" in french, used or not in english?).

GPS, its really a matter of calculations..... ...If you are bringing your family here in Qatar, then definitely, that 14K will not be enough if housing and transpo is already included. You should negotiate for something like a net SALARY of your need less the housing and transpo (food is always included in the salary). When you're here, everything you heard is a myth. Welcome to come here and experience simple life!!!!!!!!!!!
