It starts with the idea of getting out, if you didn’t have a car, you’d have to open your wallet for a taxi, even if you were using the subway, you won’t be able to survive walking in such weather even for 10 meters!
So you make your way to your destination, a mall, a restaurant, a friend’s place, a tower, or the beach. You will always find reasons to open that wallet, by walking near a shop that has something you might need, or a hypermarket for groceries you do need, paying the bills, or renting a movie to watch with a friend, or ordering lunch or dinner from a restaurant, pay entrance fees, or even paying the people who delivered a very heavy thing to your house. The thing is, you will always have reasons that will keep your wallets open. Family visits maybe the only time when you won’t have to, but sometimes you would also need to. And of course a walk on the beach in the summer is out of the picture.
My life in Jordan wasn’t so different as well. Considering the salaries there and how expensive life is, I am telling you Jordanians are very strong to keep up with that.
So I could guess this is how things are in general, but hey, you gotta be careful, it’s not easy when you live in Dubai, unless you get a reasonable number on that paycheck every month, don’t bother going out much!
But the only thing that compensates to all of this is that you pay for things that deserve their prices, you get the services you want, at the time you need, and you will be happy about it.
