Cardozo said
Thanks for your ...Thanks for your reply...
As I said, I am single so no major expenses but I would like to transfer a monthly 5K QR. Now the question is how good could this make me live (well...) and can I save in the meantime?
denbonggerald said

... my concern is the ...... my concern is the housing and the medical... Is there a gvt coverage or should I require that?
novita77 said
housing you can get a flat ...housing you can get a flat for QR 10.000, if you dont have a medical you can apply a health card. With that card you can get a treatment from the government hospital.
Alternatively you can go private that will cost you an arm and a leg ....
vignale said
Cardozo, it depends on your ...Cardozo, it depends on your background if it is good enough or not.
And if you are happy with the salary then go for it, but if you
believe you should be able to earn more then don't take it.
Remember Salaries in Qatar are low if you compare with Europe, North America and expat salaries in other parts of the world

I understand that it ...I understand that it depends on my needs but since I have never been in Doha, I am not sure what to expect as for the daily life costs....
novita when you say a flat for 10K, how many bedrooms? furnished?
Sorry am still new to the terms there ;)
novita77 said
for 10 K you will get nice ...for 10 K you will get nice 2 bedroom flat.
Cardozo ... you can live on QR 5 shawarma or eat it out in a expensive restaurant. Depend on how you manage the budget.
There is another QL'er call QT that jst move into a flat ... maybe you can ask him how much he pay for his flat.
Cardozo said
Ok - So the housing is the ...Ok - So the housing is the most expensive piece... They said it will be increased when I get married so I will rush on :S
Still thinking... converting to US$... calculating expenses.... confused :S
novita77 said
cardozo ... you do know ...cardozo ... you do know that QR is peg to the USD right? 1 USD = 3,65 QR
do you have to pay income tax?

Cardozo ...just be aware, that if your fiancée is following you, it's really better to get married as soon as possible, as you cannot live together out of wedlock in Qatar...
just little advice...sorry...

Aha! anyway single = ...Aha!
anyway single = low housing allowance + you cannot see your fiancee
Married = better housing allowance + your wife home
I believe that the system is encouraging me to get married :)
I know I know... Marriage has also other advantages!
Thanks folks

27 K QR 10.000 for ...27 K
QR 10.000 for housing
QR 5.000 to transfer home
QR 2.000 for car hire
QR 1.500 for water / electric / internet
Total 18.500 QR, the balance will be for food drinking and saving? Depend how bad is your drinking habit. If you go out clubbing every weekend that will put a hole in your pocket.
Alternatively you can apply a booze license and do your drinking at home ...
casanova said
Money Manager ...I believe, it depends upon the way u live and spend...
wait, lemmi turn to your money manager...
A good sharing accomodation = 6000
Car instalment = 2000
MT = 5000
Clubbing = 5000
Allowance including food = 3000
Yep... Its a good offer
Pure Love...

people survive here on QR500 ...and if you earn more than that you can save to send back home,.
stop joking my friend, you are offered a decent salary
you can survive ok
are you asking us how to spend it LOL
Cheers
YOU DONT KNOW ME, DONT EVEN TRY !!!
Cardozo said
There are never problems in ...There are never problems in spending ;) but you know with the rents going crazy and the prices of everything getting higher, it is normal that I ask questions before going to a country that I don't know... Let me give you an example: without asking you, I would've never expected a 2 bedrooms rent to be around 3000 US$... This does not exist in the normal places in North America... So the more info I get from you guys will help me understanding the life costs there.
Again.. Thx all for your time!

QR 1.500 for water / electric / internet ...Hi Novita77,
I read your posting with interest. QR1.5K for water, electric and internet? That's really expensive. Is this the average or the maximum?
cheers

Cardoza ...I pay 10k per month for my 2 bed apartment!
fully furnished (well sort of), including water, elec allowance and (slow) internet!
You can get a one bed for about 7/7.5k per month.
If you go out and drink a lot, that will be your greatest expense!
bt, you obviously quoting a monthly package right?

Stay in USA ...Cardozo I am also from America (Cincinnati Ohio) working for American company in Doha Qatar. Let me tell you this if I haven’t committed to my company I would have left Qatar with-in one week.
Compare to USA, standard of living in Qatar is 5 (On scale of 1 to 10).
Weather is nasty (Too Hot compare to Cincinnati)
Driving is dangerous.
No entertainment except for few clubs and they are outrageous cover charge and drinks are expensive. Most of the girls you meet there are prostitutes.
ETC, ETC

Cardozo ...I am also American and I like it here. I have some really good friends and I make sure I get out and do things. Cincinnati it ain't but I think Cincinati sucks. In fact, I think the whole state of Ohio sucks and so does my friend Vegas who is originally from there.
If your salary is QR27,000 per month you will not have to pay US tax. You will only pay tax on earnings above $85,000. Your salary will be about $70,000 so there is plenty of headroom before you have to pay tax. Even, then you will only have to pay tax onthe amount above $85,000. If you use your IRA allowance it means you only pay tax on amounts above $90,000.
If I were you I would give it a try. I haven't noticed any prostitutes here. Maybe I don't go to the same places as kqureshi but I like it here. This place is as good or as bad as you make it.
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
