Harvans Nagpal and his wife once dreamed of a relaxing retirement in Dubai, enjoying leisurely days beside a sun-drenched swimming pool and unbeatable views from a beautiful, brand new serviced high-rise apartment overlooking the city’s glamorous Marina.
Now the 70-year-old London accountant’s plans are on hold, dogged by uncertainty brought on by delays in the building of the apartment and the prospect of its cost rising beyond his means.
After four decades of working nine-to-five, he expected that, by now, he would be enjoying the fruits of his labour. Instead, he is going back to work as an accountant. “I’m trying to get subcontracted work, but it’s pretty difficult to do at late stages in life,” he says.
