We go out less, we spend less and we spend more time at home watching TV.
Rent, food and transportation is becoming too high and we will soon be forced to leave Dubai.

The cost of living is becoming higher by the day.
Rent, school fees, transportation and food are becoming unaffordable. Even salary increases do not help anymore.

Rising prices are affecting every aspect of my family's life. Starting from unbelievable rent hikes, extremely high prices of consumer products and horrible traffic, living here has become much harder than before.

It is impossible to save or invest any money anymore. I do not even take my wallet when I go out these days. I cannot afford to spend anything.

Rising prices would be bearable if they were accompanied by rising incomes. They are too much to handle when the income stays the same though.
If before we were not able to afford luxuries, now affording necessities is becoming a challenge.
