I know the parent company only offers medical to the employee and not the family. And even that cover is pathetically low unless you want to be treated by a local witch doctor (you go to HK or BKK if you are really ill).

Similarly no schooling allowances, and school fees can be anything from free (once you get residency) to USD8000/yr (see http://www.skhps.edu.mo and http://www.tis.edu.mo). Aussie school also coming next year.

Tax is ~5% on income, no VAT/GST, 7% on booze, 0% on savings and investments. Further cuts possible.

MOP50k/month is enough for you all to have a good lifestyle. Helper costs USD400-600/month for full time six days a week incl babysitting, and worth doing.

If you are already typed, I suggest you contact Air Macau (who is recruiting) since I am hearing that the whole project may be in jeopardy due political and managerial problems.
