Q: I have a family of 4 (wife, 2 sons - 8 years & 8 months). Would be shifting from Delhi. Will this be sufficeint for a decent lifestyle ? Will i be able to save anything ?

A: If you bring the family here, the minimum you can expect to pay School fees for two children will not be less that Dh3,000 per month. Grocery bill will set you back by Dh2,000 a month just on basics. You will need to purchase a car. Insurance costs U have to pay the insurance as well as monthly PMI for the car. The company will offer you life and health cover, so you need to look for health and life insurance for your family members. Check whether you and your family are offered air tickets back to your country every year for vacations. If you are offered a job, check the type of visa. Some companies make you work on a visit visa, which is illegal. U must get residence permit from your company. Also do not forget the weather here is hot and humid for about six months of the year. So overall 15000 is a good salary and you can save 6000 - 9000/- p.m Best of Luck!
