Can you save money?

Yes. But be careful about foreign travel and the luxury stores. You can get bored and blow half a months' paycheck easily. - Dec 2013

Yes, but I recommend getting out of Kuwait when possible. Kuwaitis travel all the time to Europe, the U.S., and the Far East. You need a break, but if you can limit your travel and you don't get addicted to shopping on Amazon, you can really save. - Feb 2013

Hard to as the cost of living is high. - May 2012
You can save money by shopping at co-ops and not eating out too much....but most people say 'what else is there to do besides eat out and travel away from Kuwait?' So it can be hard, depending on how you live. We didn't travel much, and shopped at Co-ops, so we saved some. - May 2012
Yes, if travel is kept under control. - Jan 2012
Uh......you CAN if you don't: travel, shop or dine out. But that's what keeps you going. - Jul 2010
