Hi my husband has an offer to move to AD and would love to know whether it is an offer we should accept given our circumstances. We are a family of 3 (1 very young baby)& only he will be working:
Salary is USD 18.000 per month
Most of the normal benefits.
Is buying a nearly new second hand car a good idea?
Is the salary package being offered sufficient?
What should our average monthly utility expenses be?
Average grocery bills?
We both like to play golf and go to the gym. What about monthly costs relating to these?
Any other expenditures we are likely to incur I havent thought about?
Thanks for responding!
