thanks a lot for the info geordie.

I just saw in a past post of yours that you replied to somebody who was going to make 16000 dh a month to rethink what she was doing cos she wouldnt be going nowhere with that money.
At 45k usd a year without housing included i should be making less than 16 k dh a month.

can you tell me what life i should expect with my suggested salary?

i m currently living in china. i make about 1700 usd a month and make a comfortable living with only 500/600. and even though by now i know life in dubai is a lot more expensive i expect to go there to be able to make more and also save more.

what do you think?
