Folks,

planning to be there in June. IT professional and starting new. Well, family joining later. How much would it be ( the least ) to get along with the usual expenses. I would be relieved from rent as someone has already taken it up to gimme some shelter.
Just tight on budget.

cheers

It depends on lots of things, ie where you will be living, the commute to your work, if your accommodation includes all utilities etc. If you have shelter does this mean that you will have no bills to pay, what about food? How did you live in the UK, are you use to living on a budget? There are lots of different variables. Although we can give you an approx costing for very day things, like utilities, rent, car hire even these can vary depending on your family structure etc.
People have done it with less than 10k and been fine, others have come over and spent triple that just setting up.
Good luck with everything.
Kate

Thanks again Kate. Yes, you are right i will be insulated from the bills and rent. May be my own car. Infact i'm not coming in from UK instead from Dubai. I will think that a ceiling of 10K would be fine. How does it sound like ?

cheers
