You will need a minimum of 25x your expenses to retire but preferably more, I’m aiming for 35x so I have a buffer. I’m attempting to get there by saving hard and not wasting money on unnecessary items. Eg. No shiny new Porsche on the drive, no 700 dirham champagne brunches, no 2000 dirham dinners at Nusr-Et, no weekends at Bab Al Shams etc
