If that is your monthly salary, it is 3 times more than the Dutch minimum wage; many people live on that salary. If it's your annual salary (it can't be because it's below minimum wage, so illegal), then don't bother.

Like I already said you can live easily with your family. That said finding a suitable house to live in is going to ask your patience, we have a housing shortage in the Netherlands. Look for housing also in Barendrecht, Vlaardingen, Capelle a/d Ijssel, Krimpen a/d Ijssel en Ouderkerk a/d Ijssel.
