Putting emotion back in, you definitely need to read some of the other EK posts. I was always a "rah rah" EK and Dubai guy. Not so much for some time now.
60k per year in savings? Tough. Very tough. I know of an FO who lives in EK accommodation with a wife and 3 kids and he manages to save $3300 us per month.
$3300 us saving a month on a FO salary?
Hard to believe unless wife is working, very senior FO plus overtime and no extra curriculum kids activities (swim, soccer, music) and ... dinner always at home with rice ....
