Not the Las Vegas of the middle east, the London of the middle east. Tourism and financial services in a religiously moderate, open, society that can attract the best and the brightest from the muslim world.

Hookers don't nag you, if they do they don't get paid.

As Charlie Sheen said when he was named for paying Heidi Fleiss $50,000 for hookers: "I don't pay them for sex; I pay them to leave." :lol:

Dubai gets $10B from Abu Dhabi to cover debt. We can't even get a loan on a property w/ $100,000 equity to build a $20,000 barn :roll:

But if you're Goldman Sachs you get all the money you want from the Fed at 0% interest to fund your trading operation.

my son is a mortgage banker and if you have a $100k equity I'm pretty sure he can get you a refi at less than 5% that will provide you with your $20k barn money and maybe reduce your existing mortgage payments even with the additional loan. ..

PM me with your email and phone number and I'll have him contact you.
