    The bottom line is you moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes.
    Due diligence is brilliant.
    How you didn't do due diligence on your medical expenses, is beyond me 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
    Bringing Race into your video is a scrapping the barrel .
    My nephew as lived in Dubai for 5 years now as a Black guy and never had a problem.
    He is earning some day up to £4000 a day and the main reason he is in Dubai is for tax reasons..
    Its a hoilday for you and i cant see it being long term !
    Your business will suffer, which will be a shame.
    You have put in so much effort and not really got the returns, results and subscriptions as you thought
    50K , is very poor considering how much effort and time you have been doing UA-cam.
    Hope you find happiness one day , i can tell deep down your not happy with life .
    Good luck on your New adventure 👍👍👍🤔

      Oh dear @lawrence. Who spat in your coffee? I hope you feel better after that like outburst. Bless your cotton socks
      A lot of assumptions in your comment which tells me you're a bit an asshole in real life. Either way, please don't you worry about me or my business. I'm pretty confident I'm going to be more than fine. Worry about whatever it is that made you type such a pathetic comment. Sounds like you're either jealous, bored or you're projecting. Regardless, politely F@*k OFF and that your shit elsewhere.

    Good content bro and best of luck. To all the others looking to move here let me provide some additional tips as someone from London (lived in LND for 20+ years) who has lived on and off in Dubai for more than 15yrs. The whole weather/sun thing is nonsense for 6 months of the year - summers here are extremely unbearable along with the humidity. Apart from Kite Beach and JBR, it's not a walking or biking city like Europe. Employment law here is not like the UK with very little protection and rights for employees. Schooling fees + medical insurance negates a lot the "tax advantages" gained. Grocery and food shopping is quite expensive. Happy to provide more advice if needed. Dubai has advantages and disadvantages. It's a real grind and struggle for those working in lower category jobs. Salaries below manager levels are also very very low.

    Thanks for your transparency. I heard that Sukoon is reasonable for health insurance. I have a pre existing condition too and this is a worry when i relocate.
    How can i get a quote on insurance before i move? Insureres usually want your local information first, before providing a quote.

    • @MyDXBDiaries
      @MyDXBDiaries  6 днів тому

      I wasn't able to get a quote ahead of time because I didn't have the residence visa, emirates ID and local contact info they ask for. It's difficult.

    We pay £12k GBP equivalent for a family of 3 with no previous issues and i was surprised with yours coming out at 8.8k tbh. Wait until you add schools fees into the mix 🤢🤢 I tell everyone to be financially secure here you need to earn minimum 100k GBP and a family of 3-4 then 20k a month gbp.... that includes savings, return trips back home, emergency fund and actually living here and going out to eat once a week. FYI im self funded with my own business and not employed so i have no packages like you do as say a teacher for example. Good luck!

      Thanks Steven. I'm surprised your's is expensive, albeit for the family. I saw base quotes starting from 4400dhs with the likes of Sukoon. What do you do here business wise?

      @@MyDXBDiaries Im a self taught Gold trader, purely online only not physical gold. ( Not a Forex Scammer) 🤣🤣Started learning about 10 years ago after 10 years in the Royal Marines. Trade prop firms and my own money. Can work from home anywhere pretty much, hence the move to Dubai. Some people in the comments get funny about tax but to people i know i showed them by annual tax which was around £164k and now my annual living expenses here are covered by that tax saving alone... i can now put that extra to work for a future for my family and even family back at home. It's a no brainer! Quality of life, weather , safety and better education and health care albeit at a cost granted. In the UK once over a certain level your tax increase exponentially over £120k so it becomes way more efficient to be here in Dubai. For people earning £30-60k say you would struggle here especially with a family unless employed with a package.

    Allways makes me laugh people uprooting themselves away from their own country and family just because they don’t want to pay tax and then eventually find out what happens in tax free societies you get your trousers pulled down on everything whether that’s healthcare or schools (your looking at 10k gbp per child and that’s minimum) and the worst part is you’ll never be a citizen of UAE so you are a citizen of no where

    • @MyDXBDiaries
      @MyDXBDiaries  День тому

      That might be because may have never lived in different country before. This will be the 4th country I’ve moved to. That idea that you wouldn’t do this, isn’t reflective of myself, my partner and hundreds of thousands of people worldwide are moving here for a better lifestyle, better infrastructure, better business opportunities, better climate, a much safer environment to raise a family with virtually zero crime and on top of that no personal tax.
      The average cost raising a child in the UK per year is just over £14k for a couple and over 16k for single parent. The idea of staying in a place that has an ever decreasing standard of living, an ever increasing tax burden and cost of living, just because you’re a citizen is crazy to me in 2025. But each to their own.
