SNAFU

Time is ticking away. Those fabled options better start appearing pronto.

As of today - no options other than moving out of our house and into a matchbox to save on rent. That would give us about 3-6 months, provided a lot of other issues solve themselves out. The issues don't seem to be willing to do that, however.

Man I hate this freaking crisis!

I don't know how to save money.
Or to cancel my vacations?
NO!

Feel sorry to you, too, Auntie :-*

Is the economic crisis getting that bad in Dubai?

Read an article that 3,000 cars abandon by expats at airport were being auctioned.

Jack,

It's terrible. Not sure on the number of cars abandoned, but yes that's the number that gets published in some papers. The situation is much worse than anything you could read. All I can say is - it's long overdue. The bubble was going to burst sooner or later, and when it did, things came crashing down. I think the worst is yet to come. However, it will hopefully bring some stability, balance and common sense back. Not holding my breath though.

Sorry to hear this Cat.
Jobs are dropping like flies here too. Everyone around me is getting laid off. I'm suddenly the big bread winner in my extended family because I haven't got laid off yet.
