The actual cost of living?!
How long is a piece of string is how I would probably sum up my question, but I was hoping for some up to date information about living costs in Dubai.
My hubster has been offered a job and I'm looking for some advice on whether it would be enough to support us. We do have a bit of cash in the bank, but am counting on that for an up-front rent payment and paying some ongoing bills back in the UK for a bit.
We live very modestly, with not much frivolity in our lives as we have a 2 year old son. We would be looking for a 2 bed apartment (accom not provided but a 4000AED is his allowance). We would also have to furnish an apartment (unless we could ship our own furniture - not sure of costs though!) and we'd ideally like to have a car...nothing too fancy to start.
It looks like (initially) I won't be working however I'm still hoping to secure employment in the coming months.
I guess my questions are:
Could we survive comfortably on 22k a month or would it be a stretch?
If I was to get a job, how quick and easy is it to hire a live-out nanny/maid?
Are we silly to consider it if only one of us is employed?
My heart is saying 'just do it!', but my head is holding out judgement!
Any advice appreciated!!
Thanks
