Re: How Much do you Spend?
Rent 5250 per month
Taxis 1750 a month food 600-1000 a month entertainment- cinema going out- 500 trainer 1700 a month bills- phone/du/dewa- 1000 a month I try to keep my monthly outgoings at under 11k- 12 maximum. Thats basically it. I don't go clothes shopping much but when I do I have a blow out- maybe 3-5k every 4 months or so. Having said that I have only recently finished decorating my apartment but a l of that will come home with me so long term investments Travel acorss the year budgeted at 15-20K including spending money. |

Bugger. I'm in LH's category, but then that's only on me (family's in the UK). If I included what my family costs, then it'd be about AED 60k.

That said, one car is owned - the other almost owned. If I was renting them I'd be in for another 10k / month on leasing. |

No, no: I have no shame about spending as little as possible, its the shame of being in the same category of anything as LH, especially where money's concerned.

What on earth are you spending it on!? :rofl: I'm around 13k, but we own the cars. I can only think that if I was leasing the two then it would around 23k? |

No, Al Dente... looking at these voting ranges, I assume that you are way about 10-15k....

I bet there's a fair few expats who actually buy from the expensive shops in the malls rather than feigning disinterest like me. Previous colleague bought two GBP5k watches in a year (for himself), and his wife actually had a little device (a refractometer?) which she used in shops to tests whether the diamonds were genuine, so god knows how much they spent on lumps of rock. 20k a month on average would be quite easy if you're of that mindset.
