I started working in dubai almost a year ago and have a bank account with Emirates NBD, i want to start investing -mainly in index funds and maybe a few cherry picked stocks- so I don't want to go through the bank's wealth manager. What are my options?

I’m not sure about NBD but can you get a Fidelity or Charles Schwab brokerage acct?

Sarwa

Try sarwa

Sarwa or stashaway

Sarwa or interactive brokers

IBKR - you can link your ENBD account to it and transfer money easily as well

Etoro is also an option!

Full transparency: taxes make it very difficult to buy. It’s not the down payment, it’s the taxes.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
