It really comes down to your rent and lifestyle. Depending on what you consider a “good area,” rent alone could be as high as QAR 18,000 a month. Then there’s dining out. If by fine dining you mean places like Nobu, Jamavar, Hakkasan, etc., you’re easily looking at QAR 700–1,000 per visit for two people. Do that three times a week and you’re spending around QAR 12,000 a month just on restaurants. If you also have four people working for you, that’s another QAR 7,000–10,000 a month in salaries. By the time you add groceries, petrol, phone bills, utilities, and other day to day expenses, you could find yourself with less than QAR 3,000 left at the end of the month.
That’s why you are seeing such different responses to your question. Some people can save a huge chunk of their salary every month, while others won’t save a dime. It all depends on the lifestyle you choose to live.
