A: 15,000 I can say will be just enough for you guys....!!!! If u live in Ajman or Sharjah rent for a 1BHK will be 2,500-3,000 per month... but if it is Dubai then it can go upto 6,000-7,000 even for a studio. 1,500 for food & entertainment... I & my husband live here & 1,500 is more than enough, dont worry. 500 for school, all good indian schools it is max 500... if it is british or american school it is 2,500 per month. say for books etc 200 more.... & 500 for entertainment. & 1500 for Vehicle(but for that u shud set aside 10,000 for getting license first) So finally i conclude If u live in Ajman say 7,000 expense & 8,000 save for u... If u live in Dubai say 10,000 expense & only 5,000 save for u... I have the experience so telling u.... dont get misguided... All the best.
