To make it clear:

My average monthly salary is around 26-28 k aed with all the deductions taken from it and my flying play, so this is what I have transferred to my bank account.
I am not trying to cheat on those figures!

Next, I do not have any house allowance, it means I am in a company accommodation, yes it cost me nothing...

I am just saying I have a "normal" life with no fashion, no restaurant parties, 2 cars because we need those 2, kids, activities for the kids... I am not saving anymore money now, shopping is getting more and more expensive, activities too, school fees have increased by 20%... and I do not want to force my family staying locked at home to try and save 1000 aed per month being in the sandpit.

Decision taken, figures balanced, I can't afford staying in Dubai anymore, there is no point, life in Europe is less expensive at this time, and I will save more money back in my home country.

Guys, enjoy and good luck!
