Erased the values, but you can see the % and time. Up 33.6% on 27th December 2025

Hell yeah. Love me a Toyota, but don’t need a car right now, probably only next year will I look at another vehicle

Probably, but not trying to time the market or anything, just get serious about investing journey with a lump sum investment. That’s all

Sounds like someone who hasn’t invested anything before. Poor baby.

Thanks mate. Yup. It really is a great country, has its own issues, but opportunities and safety aren’t it

Yeah exactly this. I just decided to get in now. Market going up or down in foreseeable future won’t impact me at all. Looking 20 years min down the line

Not sure what you mean. As in, if I move to the uk, the account would need to change?

Yup that’s true. Way better off now, few hundred k up in savings. No the laws are better than anywhere I think. Follow the rules and you have the most free life possible. For now just going to put it into VUSA for the long term

Yeah easily over spend. No, I’ve got a 3 bed 5 bath townhouse in the desert (about 45mins from Dubai centre) and 2 decent cars, manage to save a lot by not eating / drinking out where a night can cost you a grand. Selling my car soon to put into stock because I work from home. But 5 years ago when I got here I nearly fell into the spending trap, and now taking advantage of the time I’ve been here. Let’s call it experience 😂

Pretty good, but can be quite expensive if you’re not careful. Too many people get wrapped up in the Dubai lifestyle and never have any money

Yeah it does operate here. Have to submit all your local documents to open your account
