AED 30-40k all in if you want to live comfortably, it can be done for a lot less.

Means good house, premium car, buying mostly organic, eating out pretty much every meal during the weekend, and a few shallow purchases here and there. We don’t buy a lot of stuff let alone luxury goods though.

Agree comfortably can be very subjective. Especially in Dubai where a lot of people live beyond their means regardless of how much $$ they make. You’ll always feel poor and not making enough if you start comparing too much with others

AED 25-30K, ~8k in rent, nice car, part time help, eating mostly organic, respective gym memberships (those don't come cheap in Dubai), eating out mostly on weekends and a few takeaways during the wk.
