My next question is; would the following be a comfortable lifestyle in the area i am looking at? And what have i missed?
Budget (monthly):
Rent 2.5k
Bills 500 (utilities, cable, fuel etc)
Food 800 (we eat in and cook a lot, probably 6 nights a week)
Spending 2k (1k each)
Savings 1k
Holidays 700
Total 7.5k pm after tax
If i used the online calculators correctly then i would need to be 135k pa. Am i missing anything from these rough estimations?
Thanks all
Well work has come back and offered me 140k for the first year, while i build up my clients over there. After that it reverts to 80k pa base so i need to be making 5k pm comission after the first year, which should be acheivable but i need to look into further.
Also offered 2k relocation costs and first month in corporate housing.
Anything else i should be asking for or confirming?
