Re: How is everyone holding up?
Wife bought 1 bed off plan in Reem Island Abu Dhabi, 4 years back... delayed for two years just paid under million dhs… Was told she could rent for 85k yearly... She's lucky to get 58k now...
And yes saving face rather than throwing in the towel. I see a lot of stay at home dads dropping there children off at school with there expensive cars. Living on savings... They all worked really hard, However Health insurance got expensive and perks fell through the waste side in December 2017 many were made redundant on Christmas break that year.
Sad really. Especially now every utility's is going up in price instead of down. Cannot see how these guys will survive much longer but hey living the dream!

Rail industry is booming in Qatar and Saudi. Can't get enough people and staff retention a problem. New projects kicking off in Bahrain and UAE also. Good industry to be in in this part of the world at the moment.
