A Dubai Resident Shared Why He Thinks AED60K Is the “Most Dangerous Salary” 💸

  • Is AED60,000 a month the dream… or the trap? That’s the question Dubai resident Tarik Chebib sparked on LinkedIn this week after calling AED60K per month the “most dangerous salary.” 👀

  • In his post, Tarik broke it down saying AED60K a month feels like you’ve made it. You look rich. But, he puts it this way – “you’re not free”⛓️‍💥

  • With this kind of salary per month, your lifestyle can upgrade way faster than your assets do. And once that lifestyle locks in? Your risk tolerance drops. You don’t take the leap. You don’t start the thing you always wanted to 🥲

  • “You are earning well. But you are trapped well,” he wrote ✍️

  • In a city that makes it very easy to level up fast, the real flex might just be building freedom quietly in the background. Food for thought, fo’sureee 🤔
