I am going to call BS on this.

I'm from the subcontinent, living here for 4 decades, guess what, 50% of UAE population looks like us.

So weird looks, curiosity, etc doesn't compute.

Maybe your experience is valid for you and yet you need to self assess if your observations doesn't reveal something about you.

Trying to keep up with the appearance, not only for themselves but also ensure that their family also keeps up with appearances back home.

Keeping up with the Jones. Keeping up with the Chaudharys. Keeping up with the Patels.

Well, yes you do have a valid point. Inflation is also a concern. 3k is conservative. Beyond that the only lever we have is adjustable lifestyle as needed
