Hi,

I have been offered a job in Dubai. I currently live in London.

The package that has been offered is a basic salary of 20,000AED per month, which includes healthcare, a car, laptop and phone. There is an increased earning potential available through commision, but this is by no means guaranteed. The package includes free accomodation for the first three months but no contribution thereafter.

I would be looking to rent a 2-bedroom villa with access to a shared pool in an average neighbourhood.

My question is this... assuming my partner is able to earn half of my wage, could we afford this accomodation AND expect to live a comfortable life (plus put aside a small amount for savings) on a joint income of 30,000AED per month?


Thanks in advance!

Peter
