38000 AED is a great salary. I would be willing to work at 25k too !!! couple of things to keep in mind if you intend to save a lot.
1. cook your own food
2. do not be quick to settle in first of few homes you see, if you like something negotiate, if negotiation is not an option move to the next.
3. UAE is famous for its love for exotic vehicals and cheap gas. how you spend in this direction is upto you. I do not compromise when it comes to cars so its your call !!!
rest I think if you have a wife/girl friend who would live with you, you could share expenses which would further reduce your expenses and leave you with 20000 approx. per month.
Thank you for your reply.
1) i will cook my food!! not for saving but for taste!! here is xxxx!
2) I will live in Dubai, the rent is much cheaper and I have friend there budget 70k
3) for the car I will budget 50k
No girlfriend at the moment, so I will cover the expenses alone!
