Can you save money?

Yes - Nov 2015


Not if you dine out frequently, or fly out of the country regularly to escape. - Aug 2014


If you’re not paying for housing it’s definitely possible, though you’ll have to make an effort. - Sep 2012


Well -- I suppose you could if you're frugal. If you want to participate in sporting events, enjoy some nice dining, take home a few carpets and do some regional traveling (India is so close!) then nope. And really, why try? This can be a fabulous opportunity! - Apr 2010


Not much. Everything is more expensive, and you will leave the island to travel and take the edge off of boredom here. - Jun 2009


Ohh yes. - Dec 2008


Not a chance. In fact, you should pay off your credit card and student loans before arriving here. After a few months you'll be broke and planning a lavish trip out of here! - Aug 2008
