Hi Kenjee

Thanks for the reply.

I have had a look at the cost of living section and think we'll be ok, however there is not much point in relocating to only survive?

Hopefully I'll get some more feedback to consider.

Thanks again

AJ

My monthly expenses food, Fuel, Car lease, entertainment, Water, AC, Electricity, Phone, Internet, TV and mobile come to about 12-15k AED a month. Your biggest expense will be accommodation. Because the rent is normally in up front payment in the form of a single payment for the years rent or two payments.

The amount you pay in rent will also affect the amount you pay in services.

Hi Martin
