How much I can save out of my RM16500 in KL by NMReddy

Hi All, I joined a company in KL with an offer for RM16500. Now I am alone for the time being and planning to bring my Wife and 2 Kids (5 Yrs and 2Yrs Girls). Is it wise to bring family and manage the expenses expecting good amount of savings ...
