why oh why are so many young couples rushing into having children so soon after marriage? Can no one get to know each other anymore?
Probably because they met on social media! Jokes aside, this is becoming common culture around the world. Everyone wants to live like the rich kid next door, regardless whether they just arrived here or not. Building up decent wealth before rewarding oneself just doesn't happen anymore.
I once flew with a single FO who's car is worth more than a studio apartment! I'll bet he's one of those 'heavily invested' here in Dubai residents.
