Mr BYMONEK:
As you will be aware I am not a regular contributer to this forum but occasionally I do like to read some of the guys posts.
I appreciated MICK JAGGERS post giving us an insite to life within CX and Hong Kong, and agree, that Hong Kong may not be for everyone.
I am also pleased that you are happy with your villa in the desert and that your children enjoy swimming in the pool, however, one should refrain from pissing on others fires and showing resentment as this can raise the question of how happy you actually are in the desert.
I am sure that Mick will do extremely well from his investment in Hong Kong and that he can safely budget on the monthly outgoings associated with his purchase. I beleive that the costs associated with living in Dubai have recently increase with the introduction of a 'property fee' or tax as other countries like to call it. Maintenance and inflation are also other unknown quantities you are faced with in the UAE. Also, the capital gain in normal countries tends to maintain a steady growth.
I do hope that you consider retirement and the consequences when you have to leave the desert. After all, your kids will be all grown up and off to live in the real world. Will dad still have a pool for them to swim in then?
