74% of UAE residents do not save regularly
Do not save!



Savings is a habit, a discipline and has little to do with how much one earns. It’s about resisting the temptation to spend now and pay later, focusing on financial security instead of living for the day and being concerned with what others will say! For some reason expats who come to work in the GCC think they are on a paid vacation. So can we have our cake and eat it too|? Most certainly the golden rule Pay Yourself First! Yes, 10% of your salary cut at source and sent to an account perhaps in your home country basically in a place which is not easily accessible. You still have 90% to spend!

Etisalat chief denies scrapping Al Shamil internet service
You guys make me laugh - We are laugh at you



Mr JK, There is nothing wrong to the people other than u. If I don't need some service from Etisalt why should I buy & pay? I have been given the internet from my office and when I shift to new building I could not transfer the telephone line. I was told that they will only transfer our connection if I get e-life!.
Etisalat should keep options open for customers to choose what is required rather than forcing to take e life.

Calling all young Arab business leaders
Nomination for young Arab business leaders



I nominate Hind & Reem Beljafla. I'm not sure about their age but they are definitely younger than 30 yrs old. They are extremely successful Emirati designers they mainly design abbaya's

Money grows on the Tree of Patience



Whats the point in spending so many years in this country without saving a penny for a dark day. Remember that as your savings increase you will be able to think beyond the daily expenses and pay for larger and important things in this unpredictable life, like a holiday, an emergency, children's higher education without going into debts, retirement etc.

Forced Sale



In UAE, all consumers are forced to buy one thing or the other. Be it the fries(with no other option or reduced price) with the burger, or the premium package to watch important matches like world cup or the minimums imposed on various offers, definitely the suppliers/sellers are the KINGS. all the consumers can do is atleast whine on an open forum like AB and be self satisfied. Nothing is going to change in the customer's favour.. take it or take it.. you cannot leave it..

Great Initiative



A really responsible initiative by National Bonds - these are the stats that will show how badly we need to change our culture of spending. Interesting how we have come out of a massive economic crisis and people STILL haven't learned to save thier money!

What recession?



The area and line planned for tram was Dubai Marina – Internet City – Media City – Mall of the Emirates. These lines are already populated and one of the busiest in Dubai with residentials and offices. So what's the delay and what's the recession? Is it funding? Surely its not the developments around this area as it is already quite populated. JBR for instance is parking problems during weekends. We were expecting trams to let us leave cars to enjoy beach. Well, 4 years then it is.

But



This is all very nice but what about the people who have bought properties, were supposed to have moved in two years ago and still today have no villa or recourse to get their money back off the developers..? Not to mention the unpaid contractors, architects and suppliers, we hear daily about this being the fault of the world economic crash but in reality we all know it's deeper than that.!

Optomistic



I think the 48% who expect their income to increase in the next 6-12 months are being "optimistically optimistic". The economy has still some way to go to be steady and employers certainly won't want to be increasing their overheads for at least another year once some stability has returned.

Even if income does increase it's the outgoings people need to keep an eye on and this has never decreased in the 16 years I've lived here.!
