Abu Dhabi - Post Report Question and Answers

Can you save money?

No. - Jun 2015


It's possible, but Abu Dhabi can be a very expensive place to live, and as one major sanity-keeper is travel, it's easy to lose track of spending. - May 2013


Yes, if accommodation and utilties are part of your package, and if you don't go retail crazy in the malls - Jul 2012


If you're careful, possibly; if you need to live like an American in DC (or like a high-living expat), no. - Aug 2011


Yes; especially for Europeans who don't have to pay taxes back home. Americans can pay reduced taxes under "Foreign Earned Income" regulations. - Jul 2011


NO! I suppose if you never eat out or go shopping, you can save a little bit, but chances are you will travel and all savings will vanish. - Nov 2010


yes we have but there are many things we've had to sacrifice. - Jan 2010


Not really. You still gotta eat. - Aug 2009
