Some folks at EK put positive spin on everything...up to them, makes moving to Dubai seem like a good move...
I would need to save about one third ,roughly, of my income here to get a pension ..(final salary, 1/50th's) the same as the one I left behind...DOH!
Wont make that mistake again..
People forget about the real world when they move to the sandpit, one day we will have to go back, some of us sooner rather than later....but you have to have a fair wedge of cash in the bank to be ready for it when it happens...
F/os' wages.....dont even come close, and there is no way I can save a tenth, never mind a third of my salary...
Dont want to stick up for oblapop , but a grand is 22hrs of OT, not that hard to get, if you had a choice.
