for your kind words of support Gadarene...
The responses that i would like to write to you will get me banned from Qatarliving so i will try and write something constructive....

If the Pearl Qatar was created for the mega wealthy then why did they build studio and 1 bedroom apartments?
Besides that the mega-wealthy didnt get that way by letting themselves get ripped off...

My wife and i bought our place as our first home together, we met and were married in the middle east.
The financial aspects of buying this place, as well as the emotional ones are huge for us, hence we are finding this entire situation incredibly stressful as well as more than a little scary...

So in the future, Gadarene, think, before dispensing your words of wisdom or least do us all the courtesy of reading what has been mentioned before in the discussion...

And to everyone who is not in our shoes, i certainly hope for your sakes, that you never will be.
