Question

Do you think in Dubai 5000 AED with free accomodation is enough for a bachelor? Thanks in advn.?

Answer 1

Think about what you're comparing it with. Do you have a current job in your home country and weighing the options of coming to Dubai?

AED 5,000  will let you afford an used camry, party every weekend, eat at mediocre restaurants and maybe save something after that.

I know a family, the husband and wife together earn around AED 20,000 and still don't manage to save over 2,000 a month. I also know a friend who earns 2,500 and saves a 1,000 a month.

Answer 2

if u have extravagant style u wont save much , otherwise save at  least 50 % of ur salary .

Answer 3

At about $1300-1400, it doesn't sound like you'd be able to put all that much aside, and I thought that was the point of being an expat.  True, there's no tax and free accomodation, and I don't know where you live, so I can't really judge whether that is a lot of money to you.
