Re: Dubai… Questions… so
Id have to disagree. There are plenty of options.
For one, it depends on the lifestyle of the person and his family. Some people are low maintenance, some are high. For a low maintenance family, 12k can be a fairly decent amount.
Secondly, also consider the fact that one can choose to live in Sharjah or Ajman, where rents are much less (in many cases, half of those in Dubai), and schools are cheaper as well.
