Thank you, Could you tell what could be the average expenses for moderately decent lifestyle sans drink/smoking/partying/excessive shopping?

Thats an excellent offer.

here are some prices.

getting a work shirt ironed 1 aed
burger king meal 25 aed
kentucky meal 20 aed
rent a car 2000 aed (small car like toyota yards)
gas per week (went to work and came back home five days a week) 70-100aed
100 if you have a jeep liberty
70 if you have a ford focus
(where ever you lived in dubai- distances are far but some how it adds up this way if its only from home to work 5 days a week
cinema about 35aed
ice skate rink about 20 aed

pants at massimo dutti about 300-200
shirts at massimo dutti about 300-200

super market (i could be wrong about market)
portions for one person

you wouldnt need anything else from their

gas tube for the kitchen 175aed
internet per month about up to 300 --dont get those stupid 3G sticks they dont work EVERYWHERE its a risk. when you first ask they say yes yes then your stuck with it for 3 months then you CAN cancel ON ONE SPECIFIC DATE.

you would probably spend 5k a month if you led a life without trying too hard not  to spend a penny. be sure to ask if you have anythin on mind.

Thank you T unit. Your post was extremely useful
