Hi,

I need immidiate suggestion. I have been offered a lumsum salary of 16000 AED from the software company in Abu Dhabi. They are not giving any other benifits except salary which means no health insurance, no travellign allowance, no education for children. I have a wife and a kid as dependents. So please advice, will I be able to save some money after living a healthy life style with my family in Abu Dhabi in this salary?

Regards

Medical insurance is pretty much compulsory (or you spend a small fortune), better have it covered by the employer.  School fees are steep, but you can run a tight ship with your package.
