The savings are ephemeral. In Qatar there is no public transportation, no retirement, no pension, no health care that can be applied out of the country, no unemployment compensation. The food and housing are VERY high - no let me correct myself - the food is high, the housing is astronomical! Air transportation is quite expensive. Auto insurance is expensive, and covers very little anyway. Entertainment is exorbitant. You could try to economize but you would end up pretty cramped and miserable. Gene is right, there are new adventures but they come at a cost.
