38000 AED is a great salary. I would be willing to work at 25k too !!! couple of things to keep in mind if you intend to save a lot. 1. cook your own food 2. do not be quick to settle in first of few homes you see, if you like something negotiate, if negotiation is not an option move to the next. 3. UAE is famous for its love for exotic vehicals and cheap gas. how you spend in this direction is upto you. I do not compromise when it comes to cars so its your call !!! rest I think if you have a wife/girl friend who would live with you, you could share expenses which would further reduce your expenses and leave you with 20000 approx. per month.
