All feedback for the following offer sincerely appreciated:
52,500AED per month, all in for accomodation, schooling, car allowance and salary.
Relocating with 15 yr. old going into 9th grade & 19 yr. old already finished with high school;
Interested in living in a villa in the areas of:
Al Barsha
The Springs
The Meadows, etc.
We're guess-ti-mating the following:
180000 AED p.a for villa
66000 AED p.a for schooling
Question 1: Is this realistic for the guess-ti-mate?
Question 2: Is the package a good offer for handling living expenses there, to have some sort regular lifestyle (i.e sight-seeing, dining out, entertainment), to work out a savings plan AND handle approx. 11,000AED per month debt back home?
Question 3: Are utility bills included in the rental rates?
Question 4: Approx. how much do utilities run per month if not?
Question 5: Do we understand correctly that there is no school bus service?
Question 6: How are the waiting lists and processes for enrollment for the next school year for the 9th grader?
Question 7: How close to the above mentioned areas is grocery and other shopping?
Question 8: Are there any other Brit/American couples in this forum or social groups that you may be aware of? (Not that we are limiting ourselves by any means!)
We've done some extensive reading thru-out the internet, as well as thru these threads, seems answers can be all over the place, so to speak

~any and all help sincerely appreciated!
