I am am India married guy with 2 kids

1. Salary - I have been offered SAR 42,000/ month. I am in a retail MBA with 15 years of work experience and will be聽 looking to take up national role with a large retailer.聽 聽Is it a good salary ? How much is the saving potential

2. Accommodation - Looking聽 for 2 bedroom accommodation in聽 western compounds聽 with amenities like kids play area, swimming pool, grocery stores, etc (preferably play school in the compound) . How much it will cost me? Also, is there is a waiting聽 in decent compound聽 for long? Can some one suggest compound popular in Indian Community...this might help family to settle down fast.

3. School - - I can see all kinds of schools in Riyadh, I am looking for Indian school...which which is the better choice? DPS , YARA, IISC, Modern Middle East are the few options...which is the best one? Don't want to compromise on this part. Also how much I would be spending for young kids education apart of fees...I can see on school sites Fee & Transports are in range of SAR15,000 to SAR 17,000...What about other misc expenses, if any.

4. Food & Other Expense - How much family need to spend average on food, Mobile, Internet, Clothing and weekly dining out.

Hey.

With a salary of 42k a month you are definitely in the top 1% of the population in terms of income.

-Regarding your expenses it totally depends on you.
-You can easily find more information on compound prices by googling.
-Usually companies do not give insurances for parents. It's best to clarify with your HR.
- Car leasing is very straigt forward as long as your company gives you the required documents.
- Internet prices can be found on STC or mobily website.

All the best.
