$2,000 salary may be good depending on where you live. By the Grace and Mercy of Allah Almighty, I am also pretty happy with what I earn. Managing expenses and trying to manage salaries at the same time could be pretty hard thing. I always pray that I always manage to deal with expenses by the end if the month. If you manage your salary and somehow deal with your expenses, you will be able to save money in case if you earn $2,000. This depends on the kind of expenses. I always recite Durud Sharif and I always manage to make enough money so that I can deal with my expenses by the end of the month. Inflation is also a really huge factor that could affect salaries and savings. The government should lower down inflation. But we also need to make enough money. Depending on your salary alone isn't a really smart idea at all.
Inflation is too high in Pakistan. Recently I read that rate of milk has become too high that it has become tough for the people to buy it.
