errrr - NO!

not unless you plan to homeschool and eat lettuce!

We're in salary negotiations for 30,000dhs per month + house + car + school fees and wont go for less - its not worth it if you cant live well.

School fees for us range from just over AED21 000 to AED 42 000 per annum-three kids at a total of AED 84 000, plus school uniform etc! So NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

As everyone else before you told me. NO! thats really low.

he should be looking at the 30K per month range.
