Negative taxation?
www.listentotaxman.com (yep after tax)
Do you have like a separate building to live in? Otherwise, have you lived with your parents when you were 25+ more than a few months in a row?

"3300 times 12 is 39,6K. Or what do you mean?"
It means that the poster cannot count.

600 pounds difference? I don't know the specific living costs very well so the figures mentioned below are very approximate just to show the principle.
UAE: 3,375 pounds monthly salary - 900 pounds living costs = 2475 pounds saved every month.
UK: 2,750 pounds monthly salary after taxes - 1100 for an apartment - 900 pounds for other living costs = 750 pounds saved every month.
So, for every year you will save 9000 pounds in the UK and 29700 pounds in the UAE unless living with your parents. Even larger difference if your monthly living costs are higher than 900 pounds.
As been previously pointed out, money isn't everything. You can't take a few long vacations instead?

Go back, in 6 months you'll be spending every weekend getting out of London, fending off muggings and trying to not get stabbed. You'll still be moaning that the prick in costa who ****s up your latte everyday can't speak English.
London. The only city that is genuinely awesome yet consistently overrated. Somehow.

Its the chuggings that are the worst (charity muggings) - i've never actually been mugged mind you. everyday you have to run the "chugger" gauntlet to get to the tube. The trouble is most of us are so skint in london just paying for our travel and rent that you just rush past trying not to make eye contact because you feel too guilty saying no all the time.

Of course, I'm just being a bit awkward. Grass isn't always greener though.
