Who actually pays their own rent here? Anyone? (I'm prepared to be shocked by a flurry of responses in the affirmative)
Quite a few people I know do pay their own rent.

I have for 25 years but fortunately have only lived in two places and highest payout was 47K about 7 years ago. Been very fortunate and thankful for that.

We alreadydecided to go with AD instead, but this seemed curiously timed. They must know some students won't be coming back and fewer are headed for Dubai so now is the time to get aggressive and secure students.

Funny how things change.
great news!! one less car to navigate on the school run!

it is all a storm in a tea cup
really !

The president of the United Arab Emirates has moved to try to reassure the shaken nerves of investors.
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan issued a statement saying the UAE economy was in good condition.
He also praised Dubai's leader, saying he managed daily "achievements". The Sheikh's comments come after almost a week of market turmoil
