Hi,

I will be moving along with my husband to Al-khobar in the month of October 2010.We have got a job offer from one of the comapny.

They offered below package

Basic Salary: 10000 (Ten Thousand) SR.
Transport Allowance: 12% of Basic Salary
Housing Allowance: 03 Basic salaries per annum.
Marital Status: Single.

So the actual package is approx : 13700 SR/month

My Question is:
===============

1) I am married having two kids. What will be the approx expenses for 2 kids, one will be in 5th class and second will be in UKG. I heard about the British and American Internation schools which are costly to afford. So apart from these british/america schools what will be the fees for the good schools in Al-khobar.

2) Which are the good schools in Al-Khobar. As I will be moving from India so is there any Indian schools available in Al-Khobar

3) Is the 13700 SR/Month salary is enough for a family of 4 with 2 schools going kids, I am a person with moderate life style.

4) How much money we will be able to save per month after all the expenses like Rent/Schooling/Groceries/Phone/Electricity etc...

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Zebi,

Hi !

I am no expert ... My husband has signed a contract and we looked into compound prices and schooling prices etc . To me it sounds kinda lean ... Good luck !

Regards

@zebi/ Aftab,

If you could just go throught the forums, there are some posts already directing you the exact expenses and all that. Just try and find them out.
Regarding schools, I am not too sure, but then there are some good schools here in the region which are affordable and have good standards.
expenses have been detailed in one too many posts, please if you dont mind just go back to some of the earlier posts and you will find a lot of info.

a doubt though, marital status :single?? and you are married?? I am not too sure what you intended to say..

Cheers!
