I am married with 3 kids, however and do not think that the offer I expect to recieve is going to cut-it with the cost of schooling etc.</p><br /> <P>Two of the kids are school aged, one primary, one secondary with the third requiring day-care of some kind, ideally in a social environment, i.e. day-care, kindergarten...</p><br /> <P>The offer is likely to be in the region of HK$45,000 per month. This is inclusive of housing allowance. The company stopped offering ex-pats additional schooling allowances some time after hand-over so that's that. We want the kids to attend ESF schools (about HK$12,500 per month in fees.</p><br /> <P>By my (rough) calculations we are at least HK$20,000 a month short of what we would need to have a decent/good standard of living, assuming HK$14-15000 per month for rent. I want to take full advantage of living out there to show the kids some more of the world so i also want some 'pocket money' for travelling.....</p><br /> <P>Can someone give a little guidance as to whether my sums are there or thereabouts?</p><br /> <P>Many thanks,</p><br /> <P>P.</p> http://www.batgung.com/node/4001#comments General fees Kids salary schooling Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:51:12 +0000 peemac2 4001 at http://www.batgung.com
