I dont have any idea about overseas govt. jobs? What about medical treatement in baharin>? please give briefly by cost wise like Accommodation,food,electricity,house hold items to buy and savings. Thankyou in advance..
A: Josh, The amount would be enough for you and your wife as a starter. Life in Bahrain is not that fast comapred to UAE and Qatar and is enjoying a much better inflation percentage than that of the two other GCC Countries. I suggest that you live in a shared 2 bedroom Flat where you and your wife will live with other family. Cost shall be around 200/m. Food and Transport shall be another 200/m. Misc. should be maximum of 100/m and you will find that you still have something to save. Besides, your wife will surely find a job in any school or day care centers in Bahrain being a BSEd. graduate. It will be an additional income and savings for you. As what I always say to people who will try the Gulf, it's not how big your salary is - it's how small your expenses are and how you manage it that counts !!! Welcome to Bahrain... another country full of opportunities !!!
