Is 19K aed+ accomodation a good deal?

ProfessorSnape

Hello friends,
I've just received an offer of 19k AED + accomodation from a firm in dubai. I am a bachelor and dont drink/smoke/party much. I lead a pretty normal lifestyle. What would be my average monthly expenses for utilities? Will i be able to save some money at the end of the month in this salary package??

Thats an excellent offer.

here are some prices.

getting a work shirt ironed 1 aed
burger king meal 25 aed
kentucky meal 20 aed
rent a car 2000 aed (small car like toyota yards)
gas per week (went to work and came back home five days a week) 70-100aed
100 if you have a jeep liberty
70 if you have a ford focus
(where ever you lived in dubai- distances are far but some how it adds up this way if its only from home to work 5 days a week
cinema about 35aed
ice skate rink about 20 aed

pants at massimo dutti about 300-200
shirts at massimo dutti about 300-200

super market (i could be wrong about market)
portions for one person
meat about 20
chicken about 20
shampoo about 20
conditioner about 20
soap cant remember
pepsi about 5
rice about 20
you wouldnt need anything else from their

gas tube for the kitchen 175aed
internet per month about up to 300 --dont get those stupid 3G sticks they dont work EVERYWHERE its a risk. when you first ask they say yes yes then your stuck with it for 3 months then you CAN cancel ON ONE SPECIFIC DATE.

you would probably spend 5k a month if you led a life without trying too hard not  to spend a penny. be sure to ask if you have anythin on mind.
