Is 450 bhd basic + 150 bhd accom enough

Hello i need an advise on this one.  A company offered me 450 bhd basic plus 15 bhd transpo and 135 bhd accom per month is this enough to live decently and save in budaiya or manama? Thank u very much!!!

Hi

I don't mean to be rude, but have you read the Definitive guide in the forum? It gives a good breakdown of how much things cost.
The truth is no one can tell you if that salary and allowance is enough. For e.g. I won't survive on it. But I know beauticians etc who earn less and still manage to send money home.
So please read previous related posts and the above mentioned guides and if you still have unanswered questions we can help you .

Hi chemistryteacher,

I assumed that you accept the offer for the position of TEACHER. I would greatly advice to consider your workplace on choosing your accommodation because your transportation allowance is very low. Perhaps there is a bus coming and going all over bahrain for like 100-300 fils (if i am not mistaken)

Regarding your housing allowance, definitely you can share a flat. Because a studio flat here cost for about 300 above.

Wish you a safe flight.

Cheers.
