Hi everyone, first post!

Over a delicious chicken parma at our local pub, my best friend and I began talking about how it is so hard to get ahead in life without 30 years of hard work or a lucky break.

Being a fan of neither we have started looking into options of working in Dubai. Over here it has a "alladins cave" notoriety and we believe that it may just be an excellent solution to saving up some money.

anyway, I am a Web Designer with a couple years expierience and my mate is a Personal Trainer. what kind of salaries and allowances could we expect to find? Realistcally is it possible to save a large amount of money over there or is it an expensive city to live in to complement the high salaries.

Also what kind of tax would i be looking at when bringing my savings back to Australia?

I suppose basically what I'm asking is, Is it possible to save a large amount of money in Dubai within a couple of years and come back to australia to invest it.

Thanks so much in advance.
