Answer 8

that's a decent salary for a family of four especially in riyadh where expenses are reasonable, rent is way cheaper there than in jeddah (most of our salaries go to the overpriced tiny apartments we live in). the lifestyle however is what determines if this salary is good, bad or decent. if 16000 is your basic salary and you still get housing, transportation and schooling allowences not to mention healthcare...then go for it, it's really good...no brainer.
