with the same income, UAE is far cheaper than Qatar.

Only the petrol is cheaper in Qatar.

It is according to the way of life, you wish to follow, each person experiences different circomstances. It all depends on the package and on what you need to spend on, if you have kids, saving will be hard, you have too many fees to pay, same if you have a loan taken from the bank...

Anyhow, do note the following: Today we are in recession, rents are decreasing be it in UAE or Qatar. In both countries, you can find cheap items to buy, like in Qatar, you can buy carrefour products, most are made by internationally recognized companies, but hold a non-known brand, it is all about organizing your spending, set a level, let us say, we want to put aside that much cash, put them in a bank and don't touch them, the question you should really ask is, what will that new job provide my husband: position satisfaction, salary satisfaction.... and you, where do you feel better, because in the end, you have a big role to play in helping him keep on going.

hi there....

from my experience, i've been in the UAE for more than 3years.. i just moved here last 3months.. UAE is much cheaper in a lot of things.. like taxi fare, starts at 3dirhams(UAE currency) here 4riyals.. bus fare uae 2AED here 3QR....eggs 6pcs UAE 3AED here 7AED.... alot of things cheaper there.. even chinese prostitutes, doha 1000QR in dubai as low as 100AED, hehehe joke.. but there's one problem, in dubai flat or apartment is very hard to get, although prices may be quite equal here but its difficult to get one... but in sharjah, abu dhabi, ajman it is very and very cheap( flats)...

do u like my answer..?

life is cheaper where you find bigger salaries and little things to spend on, when life gets boring and you don't know where to spend your money on.

the answer is the proportion of your earnings or income to your expenditures.
