Hello All, I need help.

I am currently working in Hong Kong and have monthly salary of around HK$ 26000 after Rent and Tax Deduction. I have received an offer of RMB 18000/monthly after Rent and Tax Deduction. Can someone tell me if just on the basis of this, is it worth moving to Shanghai if I want to have better savings in the end of the month.

Here I am just focusing on day to day living expenses.

Thanks for the help.

Ajay.
