Agree with AbuAmerican. Cost of living back home is an important consideration. I'm Asian and earn lower than the Westerners - at least a third. But my cost of living back home is about a third lower as well, so it balances out.
I live within my means and don't bother about other people living in swanky apartments or villas in West Bay, the Pearl, etc. and drive expensive cars, etc. What do I care? If others have those luxuries, well and good for them. I don't need to look rich to have friends. I look like something the cat dragged in but have loadsa pals. Prefer them to those that glitter but are not gold.
What I can't stand is those with the luxuries flaunting it around and taking down to people. That's just asking for it. Ok off tangent ... that's another thing...
