It depends on where you are. Cost of living in Abu Dhabi is really high as is Dubai. If you live outside of those areas, again, it depends. How big is your family? Many employers will help cover tuition for kids, but not things like transport nor uniforms. I knew a few teachers who lived quite frugally and were able to save quite a bit. We vacationed a bit (never had done it before!) and were still able to leave with a little cash in our pockets.
