    We forgot to mention that there is no income tax in the UAE, so thats a huge saving! Also, our phone bills are around $81 USD each. What do you guys think? 🫣

    Longtime listener here! I've been watching since the very early videos. Love Jasmine and Dawoud :) This video was super interesting; thank you for making this! For those of us in the US, I broke this down into monthly cost.
    Apartment: $2,250
    Hydro/Electricity: $200
    Internet: $150
    Gas: $15
    Health Insurance: $333.33
    Car Insurance: $31.67
    Going out (assuming a $40 bill once a week): $160
    Groceries (assuming you go once a week): $520
    This brings the monthly cost to $3,660 USD.
    I wanted to note that thee gas price in USD (and in gallons because the US is weird and doesn't use the metric system) is $3.40/gallon (assuming $0.9/L USD). When doing comparisons, US citizens should look at the premium gas price as opposed to unleaded gas.
    I hope this helps out people who are trying to break things down into a monthly cost. I'm from the midwest in the US, so my cost of living is significantly less than this. But I think if you were comparing this to New York or LA, like they said, this cost is significantly cheaper.
    I'd be curious to hear about cars. Are they more expensive in Dubai? Many Americans have monthly car payments so that gets factored in as well. I would also be interested in hearing about retirement options in Dubai.

    $27,000 USD translate to about $2,250 USD a month which converts to about $3,040 CAD, this is pretty standard pricing right now in Ontario across the board for most 2-3 bedroom homes and condos at roughly the same size as yours or slightly bigger, depending again where you are living, but $3000 is the average rental price at the moment.

    Great Vlog!!! Love these kind of videos, very informative and useful. 🥰 It's great that in Dubai you get the option to pay in one go, although it can hurt seeing it leave your account as Dawoud said 🤣 It's nice not to have to think about it for the year.
    - In London Rent is ridiculous (similar to Toronto and NY) for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment in a ANY location expect to pay above of £3000 a month( and that's being nice.) That is not including council tax around £1300 on average a year or bills which gas and electric have skyrocketed since October.
    - For bills expect to pay around £150-200 a month in total.
    - Car Insurance average is around £500 a year (obviously depends on the car) however if you are a young first time driver expect to pay around £3000 for first person insurance and £2000 to second driver insurance!
    - Petrol is 161.60 pence per litre (not sure about the quality.)
    - Luckily we do not have to pay for healthcare which, simialr to Canada is taken out in the form of income tax taken straight out of your paycheck.
    - Groceries have also hit a high due to inflation, probably expect to pay £100- 200 for a simialr shop.
    - For a meal at a restaurant £30-40 per person is standard for the meal, drinks possibly a starter.
    - These are all monthly expenses, UK don't generally pay in one go. (Also these are london prices only, outside of London is much cheaper especially rent and car insurance.)

    Chilling system fees is similar to heating system fees just opposite. So the chilled water supplied to your AC will be calculated as per meter and at summer will be more expensive than in winter, best if the bill paid by the landlord. Also price will be different in each tower depending on maintenance of system, the meter is genal for building or separate for each apartment.

    I’ve been living here my entire life! I would love to get to meet you guys. I have a big family MashaAllah and we all love you. You guys should come over to our house one day! And yes it’s expensive for sure! My dad knows about all this stuff. You guys should contact him! And definitely if you pay for school fees over here it would change your spending. But, it honestly depends of where the school is located and the quality of education. In my opinion, the cheaper schools are mixed with mostly non-muslims and can have a bad influence on kids whereas the private Islamic schools here might be expensive but it’s way better for kids + girls and boys and ALWAYS separate.

      @@nabati8903 Education is quite expensive here. If you go to a public school as a local here, then you get free education. But there are barely any public schools here. Most schools are private and quite expensive compared to the US or Canada. I pretty much know this because of most relatives moving out to the US or Canada because of the prices. It’s definitely more cheaper there. But at the end of the day, parents look for what’s best for their children, and I would say Dubai is the perfect place for that. Although it might be expensive, it’s worth it because at the end of the day, your giving good high quality Islamic Education that your kids need.

    The cost is comparable to where I live in the USA (South Carolina) except for self-employed health insurance and car insurance. Both are much cheaper in Dubai than where I live. Your rent is much more than my mortgage BUT I live in an older house about 20 minutes outside of our main "city," and I've seen the recent rent for comparable apartments in the city; its about the same cost as yours in Dubai. Also, rentals tend to be more expensive monthly than mortgage payments for the same properties in the USA. Your gas is more expensive, but SC has cheap gas compared to the rest of the US. Utilities and groceries are slightly lower cost in Dubai. Having to pay a year up-front sounds rough though; you first have to save up that money for the first payment and then you have to continue to save monthly to amass enough to pay for the subsequent years, so its difficult to re-save that initial investment unless you make substantially more than the recommended monthly income for that rental amount. Other than that initial big payment, you have much better quality of living for about the same price in a small "city" in one of the cheaper states in the USA. I know that you both are self-employed, but what is the average income for most people in Dubai?

      @@armstrongQB1 I think we have lower taxes than a lot of other states. Also, I think SC is much cheaper in the rural areas, but I live on the outskirts of Columbia. Lexington (Columbia Suburbs), Charleston, Greenville, and Fort Mill/Rock Hill (Charlotte suburbs) are also more expensive than the rest of the state. There are a ton of people moving into SC from the northeast, so I think it has been steadily driving up prices for stuff like real estate.
      edit: Also, if you compare SC city prices to cities in higher cost-of-living states, its definitely MUCH cheaper. Real estate and rent is quite expensive near cities; Charlotte, NC pricing is about the same cost to MORE costly compared to their apartment in Dubai, and usually those units are at least a few years old. But the income is a bit more in Charlotte and the quality of living tends to be a bit better, so I guess it balances out.

      Wage is not calculated per Hour, you will receive your salary in monthly basis and work 6 or 5 times a week 8 to 10 hours a day (most private companies 10/6 a week)

    Regarding the insurance the quote is good however I would suggest looking into what the network covers first, so for example does it cover several clinics and hospitals (such as mediclinic, medcare, prime, American hospital, nmc …etc).

    schooling is really expensive...and there's multiple curriculums to choose from....Cambridge CIE(British), Edexcel (British), SAT (American), SABIS, etc. but a certain curriculum isn't more expensive than another it depends on the school you choose...however you'd have to look into board exam costs for these curriculums.
    and there's this thing in UAE where school with a majority of south asian, arab (not emirati) staff will be much cheaper compared to a school with white, or European staff....and not all schools have the same facilities, so like I've heard the most expensive school in dubai is Repton....you'll get all the facilities you can want, but you'll pay your apartment rent FOR JUST ONE KID.....
    schools in sharjah are also cheaper than dubai...its why a lot of families live in sharjah despite working in dubai...and that's why the sharjah to dubai traffic is crazy in the morning....schools in UAE also arent like Canada...so you don't get assigned to a neighborhood school, you choose your school. and walking to school isn't a culture here...get through one summer here and you'll know why so you have to consider transportation costs...they vary depending on the school....is this too much info?
