    You must be offered the mega bucks if you are considering living there.

    not necessarily. bc in the UAE, you don't have to pay tax. and if you compare that to say, france, where your income tax is near 40%, and the VAT is quite high as well, even if you are offered your same salary, that's still a huge plus. it's different for Americans, but it's still a bit of savings.

    and, you know, someone could just want to live there bc they like the place.
