I live in the USA, In Northern Virginia, my house is large and yes it costs more, but I do pay 150/month for internet because it has to be fast and work well. I think your expenses are very reasonable for what you get.
Ayyy DMV ✌️✌️
Never do grocery shopping in malls. Absolute rip offffff. Honestly you can save more than 50% if you travel a little bit out, like lulu hyper market and nesto. There’s a few near Dubai creek
Great Vlog!!! Love these kind of videos, very informative and useful. 🥰 It’s great that in Dubai you get the option to pay in one go, although it can hurt seeing it leave your account as Dawoud said 🤣 It’s nice not to have to think about it for the year.
– In London Rent is ridiculous (similar to Toronto and NY) for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment in a ANY location expect to pay above of £3000 a month( and that’s being nice.) That is not including council tax around £1300 on average a year or bills which gas and electric have skyrocketed since October.
– For bills expect to pay around £150-200 a month in total.
– Car Insurance average is around £500 a year (obviously depends on the car) however if you are a young first time driver expect to pay around £3000 for first person insurance and £2000 to second driver insurance!
– Petrol is 161.60 pence per litre (not sure about the quality.)
– Luckily we do not have to pay for healthcare which, simialr to Canada is taken out in the form of income tax taken straight out of your paycheck.
– Groceries have also hit a high due to inflation, probably expect to pay £100- 200 for a simialr shop.
– For a meal at a restaurant £30-40 per person is standard for the meal, drinks possibly a starter.
– These are all monthly expenses, UK don’t generally pay in one go. (Also these are london prices only, outside of London is much cheaper especially rent and car insurance.)
London is crazy Birmingham is half the prices😳
“- Luckily we do not have to pay for healthcare which, simialr to Canada is taken out in the form of income tax taken straight out of your paycheck. ”
So you do have to pay for it. Healthcare isn’t free.
@Franklin Armstrong like they said in the video if you’re employed you get free health insurance, so not necessarily they only pay it as they are business owners. I’d rather contribute a bit of money though if it means better healthcare.
@@armstrongQB1 We don’t pay for it upfront* as Jasmine described she was doing in Dubai. As I said similar to Canada we pay income tax which goes towards numerous things including healthcare which in the UK is ‘free at the point of contact’ except for dental and eye care. If you don’t understand look it up. I don’t think anyone expects healthcare to be free lol.
I live in Leeds and for 2 bed house I pay £700
We forgot to mention that there is no income tax in the UAE, so thats a huge saving! Also, our phone bills are around $81 USD each. What do you guys think? 🫣
Can you please share the link to where to find apartments for rent around the same price as $2000/$2300
Salaam alaykum, Is that monthly? Probably but just checking since things are either super cheap or normalish pricing
I personally pay much less (prepaid du). Ofc, depends on your consumption.
I’m from the US (NY to be exact) and I pay little over $100!
I’m from the US and I pay little over $100
I would say this is quite expensive. I am born and raised here but currently live in Sharjah. To match the Canadian lifestyle maybe it’s okay. Rent in Sharjah is super cheap (we pay less than half of 100k) but ofc you would need to compromise on the nice apartment and views for it. I would say you would need a good flow of income to live a comfortable (dubai ) life here. Alsoo lots of love to you jasmine and dawoud! Still waiting for the day to bump into you guys!
That is insanely cheap!!! I life in Central Florida and I definitely pay more on average for everything you showed. 1/1 apartments where I live around $1800. 2/2 are about $2200 or more and health insurance for a couple is about $700 a month with a large deductible.
Wilmington, Nc here and SAME.
Why are you paying for car insurance. Plus, that’s 84000 dollars in ten years and 168000 in 20 years. Just buy a new car if old one gets damaged.
@@Anon-uv9mj insurance in America and many countries around the world is mandatory
We pay $ 2,800 for a one bedroom apartment in Washington DC. The building is 24 years old. Rents are going up.
I lived in Dubai for four years, groceries, clothes and Internet/TV costs are very high compared to Europe. Standard of living and security however is very good. I guess it balances out at the end. Great video guys 🙌🏼
Hi Moiz, can I get in touch with you please in relation to living in Dubai?
@@heisenberg9739 let me know how to contact you, an email maybe
Longtime listener here! I’ve been watching since the very early videos. Love Jasmine and Dawoud 🙂 This video was super interesting; thank you for making this! For those of us in the US, I broke this down into monthly cost.
Apartment: $2,250
Hydro/Electricity: $200
Internet: $150
Gas: $15
Health Insurance: $333.33
Car Insurance: $31.67
Going out (assuming a $40 bill once a week): $160
Groceries (assuming you go once a week): $520
This brings the monthly cost to $3,660 USD.
I wanted to note that thee gas price in USD (and in gallons because the US is weird and doesn’t use the metric system) is $3.40/gallon (assuming $0.9/L USD). When doing comparisons, US citizens should look at the premium gas price as opposed to unleaded gas.
I hope this helps out people who are trying to break things down into a monthly cost. I’m from the midwest in the US, so my cost of living is significantly less than this. But I think if you were comparing this to New York or LA, like they said, this cost is significantly cheaper.
I’d be curious to hear about cars. Are they more expensive in Dubai? Many Americans have monthly car payments so that gets factored in as well. I would also be interested in hearing about retirement options in Dubai.
I’ve heard that cars are cheaper too
The cars are more expensive not cheaper at all
Cars are cheaper. Not more expensive. I’m comparing to Canadian prices. Not overly sure about USD. They’re for sure cheaper then Canadian costs I’ve seen. Even high end vehicles are cheaper then what we pay here in Ontario
The cars here are not wayyy more expensive…They are a little bit considering the fact there are very less car factories here and they have to be Imported.
Are you lining up in the US?
Chiller is AC. It can get quite expensive so happy that you have the first year off! Ranges from $100-$250 monthly (ofc depending on how often you use it). All the best and welcome to the UAE!
I don’t get it, Ac runs on electricity, once its installed you only pay for the electricity to run it, whats with first year free and pay the second year lol
@@haytch1598 It is possible to put the AC on it’s own meter.
Hot water for example is generally on it’s own meter in Australia so (generally on different time of day rates), so I just imagine that’s what they do. Put it on it’s own meter. It’s pretty simple.
Considering conversion rate, groceries, utilities and eating out, these things are pretty esspensive. I’m actually scared that prices will increase because SOOOO many expats are throwing the word “cheap” around whenever they move to a country where the conversion rate is inferior to their home country.
My thoughts exactly nothing they said was cheap. 380 for car insurance is insane. I drive a Benz and pay 140.
The one thing all must understand is that you cannot compare ur country of origin to UAE. Almost everything is imported and one has to expect the increase prices, which compensates for living in a safe country that is inclusive of many cultures and religions.
School fees here depends really on the schools . There are different price ranges but the average starts from 20,000 To 35,000 thousand AED . From lower grades it’s starts building up with the price , but there are definitely more expensive schools that would reach way more .
Loved the video! Schooling in Dubai are mostly in a British Curriculum. I was born and raised in Dubai and Im 24 years old. I can definitely say that school fees in Dubai can definitely put parents in financial problems because of how expensive it is god forbid. Elhamdulilah that did not happen to our family but unfortunately I know so many friends that moved out of Dubai with their families SOLELY BECAUSE OF SCHOOL FEES. I hope inshallah when the time comes for you guys to send your kids to schools inshallah it wouldn’t be the same.
Indian school and Arabic school are cheaper tho
How much were the fees?
Aren’t those international schools?
Don’t they have local/ government schools? Perhaps homeschooling is better?
Now if they read this they will also change school fees
@@Zazezoo local schools are cheaper but still costly for non emirati.. it’s essential to go to an international private school to have qualifications for overseas
for groceries – carefour , viva , and lulu would be half the price of that, (viva is the cheapest and best quality) – for rent garhoud and town square and many other places and compounds would also be half the price of that rent. a good school would be ranging from 6-10k USD per year. internet price could be cut in half if they use a different package that still has strong wifi du and etisalat have many packages starting from 250-300 aed.
A chiller is what cools the air in a centralaized ventilation system (The AC system used in buildings).
It is not usually used in houses.
$27,000 USD translate to about $2,250 USD a month which converts to about $3,040 CAD, this is pretty standard pricing right now in Ontario across the board for most 2-3 bedroom homes and condos at roughly the same size as yours or slightly bigger, depending again where you are living, but $3000 is the average rental price at the moment.
yeah but in canada rent is paid monthly so i think 3000 anually is actually a pretty good deal
Same as Australia. I’m in a large 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home. We pay 3K per month. Many pay a lot more in my area. It’s crazy. There’s no need for them to be soo expensive. Families can’t afford the rent alot of the time. Heaven forbid you lose your job.
They move further away and downsize to apartments or townhouses/condo’s
@@kulsoomhassan6957I’m sure it’s 3000 monthly, not annually…
@@jaggirl Where abouts in Australia do you live? I live in Perth in a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house and we pay $2000 AUD a month, which is the average here.
I was drawn to Dubai after hearing that crime was low. 🥲
Chiller free means that the AC cost is included in the building. Chiller free for the first year means that you will need to pay for your AC from the second year onwards if you decide to stay in the apartment.
Great video. I’m also a Canadian from the Toronto area. I’m moving to Dubai next month and really appreciate the details about costs to expect. Hope we can connect at some point in the future. Would love to hear more about your experience and any other advice. Thanks again.
Most charismatic couple on YouTube, it’s a must watch for those who are interested in the subject! Thanks for all that info!
