Stop being so judgemental darling!:frown:

What a strange thread........ a bizarre question indeed.

How does anyone know how much they spend each month? Or am I missing something?

"Well I get paid 32,500, and after rent etc that leaves 19,250, and I save 6,000 so I suppose I must spend... er... 13,250...." :blink:

Who cares?

It's my fault, i thought through the answer but not the question. I find it expensive living here and rather than ask people in real life where it felt that it would be awkward, i thought it'd be fine on here. On reflection it is a crass question but i got caught up in the spirit of the save thread and was curious.

Sorry.

Apology accepted (and unnecessary).

Carry on.

I've no idea though.................

You must be able to do a rough calculation (say for last year):

Total annual remuneration
Less how much you saved / invested
Less your annual rent
Less an estimate of how much you spend each month (x 12) on the other things
= your annual "spend"

I suppose so.

I don't spend much - but then I am ludicrously and quite undeservedly overpaid.

But I thought you said you are paid Dhs32,500:confused: It may be more than I get, but hardly silly money given what some other westerners are evidently paid.

That was just a random example, to explain why I thought it was a silly question in the first place........

I get a little more than that.
