The Etihad Package...
I have just been informed by the Wifee that the fees for my 5 year old at the British school this coming year will be 45,000dhs.
Checking my schooling allowance I see I am entitled to 25,000dhs per year. So I am short more or less 3,000 pounds!
Regarding the accommodation allowance, what can you get now for 115-120,00dhs? Dip all. Definitely no little villa or nice town house, two beds in a tower block & you'll be lucky to get parking. The available housing in Abu Dhabi is very low.
Coupled with the 30% increase in food prices last year, the perennial 5-10% rental increases and of course the US dollar things are grim.
Is it just me? It seems every time I turn around something or other has gone up 25%
I really hope the salary/package starts playing catch up soon. The way I see it the numbers are not adding up too good at the moment.
