My Living Expense in Qatar- OFW

Our living expense plays a big role to know our savings capacity. I believe that you already encounter some people who are earning less but yet they have a lot of savings and on the other hand, there are some who are earning more but yet keep borrowing money from others. With this, you can see how lifestyle affects significantly in one’s life. Given the opportunity to work overseas where they offer a benefit package of accommodation, food, transportation and uniforms I grab that chance even the basic salary is quite low and far from others expectation. As a fresh graduate, of course I know that I need to look first for quality experience rather than big salary. That’s what I have in mind while getting the first opportunity I had in Qatar. Rather than looking in that negative aspect of the offer, I divert my mind on what else it offers which are skills, experience, knowledge and quality of life. In this blog, I will be sharing my personal living expense in my six years working here in Qatar. Since the economy is changing from time to time and our needs differs from each other, expect that my way of living will not be ideal for some. Despite of this, I’ll be sharing you my experiences so that you can get an idea before moving here.
