Can i live on this?

16 years ago
I have read the topics on pay but I am still having trouble making a decision on whether or not to move from the usa to London. My company has offered 41 base and a bonus of 20 with a guarantee on the bonus. I have a wife and two kids that will stay at home. My company gave me a mock pay stub that came out to be 3500 (after taxes and insurance) per month to give me an idea. I have looked at rentals in london and 1000 to 1400 looks like a price range that I get a 3bedroom. Car is included in the deal, and accomadation for the first 2 months is taken care of. This is a 2 year contract. Can I live on this and be i a safe area for my family?
