Too bad you hadn't done this for a few years running so we could figure an accurate percentage for inflation.

Umm maybe, just maybe, it will help in answering this question:

Oh, and trust me, it is a lot more than 300; I am not one of those extreme [non]spenders. My findings will give a very good idea on range of spending to most people coming to any big city in this country, especially one of the 3 biggest cosmopolitan areas. |

No! Also, for smaller places like Jubail you need to factor in the cost of anti-depression medication.
For even smaller places factor in the cost of an overdose or rope to hangyourself with, though some would say in Hafr Al-Batan or Ad-Dawadmi suicide becomes a redundant expense. |
