    Thank you for your insightful video, respectfully, I think, this is way too expensive for a teacher's salary 😭😭 Your monthly salary exceeded teachers' salary 😩 How much do teachers earn per month in Dubai in 2024. I am baffled after watching this video...

    I'm an Indian who fully grew up in Dubai and it's actually very nice to see a non-Indian talk about their cost of living. I have lived in Dubai for over 22 years. Here's a tip: If you to save up on groceries and food (eating out), try venturing out into the part of the Dubai that is east of the Creek (Eg: Karama, Al Qusais, Deira, Bur Dubai, Oud Metha etc). These areas often have these very famous stores called LuLu, where most of the groceries are extremely cheap compared to something like Carrefour. These are primarily Indian communities having a majority of Indian residents, but I have seen loads and loads of foreigners who come to shop in the places I have mentioned. One more thing, these places generally have much better access to public transport (metro and RTA bus). You can just look at Google Maps and see the density of the metro stations in the green line - how close they are to each other and they cover a lot of areas. Red and Green Lines have pretty much the same passenger flow despite the red line being much longer. And, as I did my schooling completely in Dubai, I would like to tell that the school fee for Indian schools are nowhere near the numbers that you showed. How the system works is that as you up the grades, you pay lesser and lesser. So, my highest fee was in KG (kindergarden), where I paid near AED 2,000/mo. In my 12th standard (the final school year), I barely paid AED 1,100/mo in one of Dubai's top schools (often comes in KHDA top 5 rankings). Obviouslt, I understand that your daugter isn't Indian, so she won't be going to an Indian school, most likely an O-level school. All in all, Dubai is a great place to live and grow up. I hope you really enjoy your life in Dubai!! Thanks for making a very informative and well structured video! PS - I understand that I'm and Indian and you're British, so you may not live the same lifestyle as me and may not take what I say into consideration. What I'll say is to give it a shot and see how you like. Thanks!

    Why do you pay for Entertainer membership? many banks give free membership (e.g., HSBC) on any half-decent credit card. For your viewers, it is possible to live decently in a lot less than this. I am single and spend around 6K-7K inclusive of rent, so 24K is on the higher side, even for a family with 1 kid.

Was it at the airport and what mobile phone provider was it with? Also do you get free lunch provided at your school as a teacher or do you have to pay?

    I had to double check your living costs. Wow! We live in a 3 bed villa, pay for everything, rent, DEWA, petrol, car ins, health insurance, mobiles, home internet, drinking water, twice weekly car wash, Tv streaming, pool, gym, grocery for two, two cats, for 9320 aed. We don’t do all the subscriptions, school fees, etc. Nor do we use Salik or have a maid. We bought a used car for cash a lot cheaper than in the UK. So we live a more frugal existence but are more than happy and are saving like crazy. I’d love to know your maids expenses. Don’t forget to put money away for your retirement. One day you will need it wherever you are.

    • @RushmoorFizzbomb
      @RushmoorFizzbomb 8 месяцев назад

      @@caffeNoizette DH2 3beds start at approximately 70k aed. This is cheap for Dubai. Move 15 minutes closer to the city and you can add another 50k. This is still relatively expensive to many parts of the world, but it’s as affordable as it gets.

    • @caffeNoizette
      @caffeNoizette 8 месяцев назад

      @RushmoorFizzbomb thanks for your reply, indeed not a chance to get closer to the city for me if I had to consider moving there this year....I still feel that as long as am in safe area not so out of Dubai and close to kids school which takes major part in this, That would be good. Al KaraMA , bur Dubai is my thinking....as long as I can save bit and pleasant area thats the most....
