Keen to buy first home in Dubai but skeptical given the uncertainty around the global economy albeit high oil prices which is a positive for the region. What are people thinking? Anyone here from middle east?

I’m pretty bullish on Dubai, it seems best situated to withstand whatever negative shocks occur in the region relative to other cities. Thinking about buying here.

We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
