AED 200 Fuel
AED 200 phone
AED 1000 food
AED 200 (toiletries, also a minimum estimation)
= AED 2,200
Then I didn't buy make-up, clothes, gifts, no entertainment, no magazines, no hair cut/colour etc.
AED 200 (make-up) some months more, some less
AED 70 birth control
AED 250 (underwear) no clothes bought, no shoes, no handbag, no accesories
AED 100 (one movie outing for two)
AED 34 (3 magazines)
AED 180 (hair cut only)
AED 15 (one cup of coffee)
AED 150 (15 dvd's)
AED 120 (one breakfast)
AED 40 1 x car wash
AED 490 (gym)
= AED 1650
TOTAL: AED 3,850 - then I didn't go out, I didn't buy ANY clothes (just basic underwear), shoes etc, no take-aways, no entertainment (going places, seeing things, doing things), NO savings, no pension, no medical costs, no hobby, no long distance phone calls, no migraine medicine*
I also got a package deal for AED 6000, with company car and accommodation.... NOT enough.. I always struggle the last week of the month and I don't do much, don't have expensive habbits etc.
I thought I would be able to save but there is always something eating up the money, a fine here, an emergency there, medical costs, all sorts of small things - like buying vitamins and water!!
I would say NO don't take it unless you are not planning on saving.
