Q: I really want to live in a country outside of America for a few years just to experience other sights
A: Depending on your lifestyle, living costs in Dubai can be cheaper than in the USA beside the rent. Rent in Dubai is comparable with rents paid in Manhattan. Phone, gas, water, electricity, transportation and labour is much cheaper then in the USA. Also local or from neighboring countries imported food is cheaper than groceries in the USA. On the other hand, imported food from Western countries, pork and alcohol is more expensive than in the USA. First step you have to do is to find a suitable job and negotiate an attractive salary package incl. housing and transportation as a minimum.
