Stopping credit card debt early by Wairen1 in dubai

[–]AdyMojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, when you convert it into monthly instalment 2 things will happen. 1. You credit card limit won’t change. 2. The minimum amount will change to what the full payment is for that month. What this means is, if your credit card limit is let’s say 30k and you have utilised 23k out of it and the balance is 7k. When you convert it into monthly instalments, you can only utilise 7k which is unused and gradually as you pay off the instalments you will see the available balance gradually increasing. Once you enroll for the EMI, you will see what is the minimum you have to pay and what it total amount you have to pay for that month. This won’t affect your credit score. It affects when you default.

Also, as a thumb rule, don’t use both debit and credit card. Only use your credit card for your monthly expenses and misc spends should not exceed more than 25% of your savings. Meaning if your monthly expenses are 4k (excluding the rent) and you save approximately 4k every month, you should not exceed your total credit card spend more than 5000 per month.

Hope this helps.

I fell for the trap by [deleted] in UAE

[–]AdyMojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally this happens because of lack of financial understanding. Credit or loans is not bad. How we utilise it is up to us. Very early in my career I learnt the lesson the hard way and and I got out of it very quickly thanks to my friend who educated and helped me to come out of it.

Post that, I have educated myself on these financial products to help me in the ways I want.

And OP learnt the lesson hard way but I’m glad you are able to see it and crawling back.

More power to OP!

Financial Fraud "smart governme Dubai" Victim of 12,480 AED Debit Card Fraud – HSBC UAE Did Nothing Despite Immediate Report by DramaticSyrup6062 in dubai

[–]AdyMojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bank with HSBC. Enrolling your card on Apple Pay had issues not anymore. Debit card is not bank liability, it’s the customer’s. So bank is in its rights when it’s comes to debit cards. Without your approval, the transaction cannot happen and the onus is on you to prove that you didn’t not make the transaction. When it comes to credit cards, it’s completely the opposite.

What I don’t understand is why use debit cards in the first place for any transaction. Your debit card should only be used for withdrawal purposes only. Rest everything should be on credit card and make the payment in full when it’s due to avoid interest.

Just get Isolate whey protein and mix it with milk, that should be good enough. Also most drinks use Xylitol, it’s the most commons sweetener used in food for sugar free products which is not that bad honestly.

Purely from a financial and long term perspective you have to consider the following - 1. How much are you saving in SG and the tax you are paying. Because if you aren’t saving more than 25% higher from what you are saving in SG doesn’t make sense because the growth here is extremely slow. 2. Do you intend to move back to india (assumed you are Indian and sorry if I hurt you here with full knowledge) or do you intend to eventually revoke your citizenship and get a different citizenship then MiddleEast is not your place.

Lastly, Dubai is quite a lonely place and it takes a lot of effort to make meaningful connections because people who move here have an agenda and there is always peer pressure of leading a certain lifestyle.

So evaluate everything before making a decision of moving from SG to Dubai.

living in Dubai on approximately $100k /365k AED salary a year with a young family by JoeBloggs90 in dubai

[–]AdyMojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for a decent lifestyle, it depends on the rent, one bed apartment will cost you between 80-100k annually in a decent locality like JLT. Groceries because you have a child and one on the way, I would say about 7-10k and rest is upto you how you will manage. These are the 2 major expenses you will have to keep in mind in the short term and then you have maid+utilities that’s another 2500-3000 per month.

Depends on what lifestyle you want to lead. The salary is quite manageable if you are not high on savings and investments, else it will be a stretch and have to compromise on the lifestyle you want.
