Just FYI, they all make money in the US and live in the SEA. It is rare that someone just move to VN or another country and speak highly about working and living there unless you have your open your own business in VN and even as that, there are some issue even for the local. It's better to have option, get a good income and asset in the US and then live in VN. In case if it doesn't work out, you have option to come back. US has it issue, VN also has it issue. I wouldn't put everything in single basket.
Good read. Thanks for posting. I am a Filipino American who is born and raised in San Francisco. I have a Vietnamese wife who lives in Phan Thiet. I have been to Saigon HCMC and Phan Thiet two times this year for a total of 4 weeks. I have thought about moving to Vietnam and I always wondered what it would feel like living in Vietnam while working remotely at my San Francisco based position in the US. Now, I know. I can validate every word that Kavi is saying about the US. Thanks for sharing your first hand experience Kavi. Much appreciated.

@xxxxxeeeee It's going to soon. The petro dollar deal between the Saudi and the USA just ended this past Sunday the 9th 2024. The Saudi decided to not renew the deal.
Don’t discount Laos. Outside of Vientiane, life seems calm. Many places to live that are very laid back. You want no hectic, look to where the Hmong live.
Get ready to get scammed then. Cambodia is the known for having scammers. Plus it is much more expensive for food and living cost is much higher. Only good about that country is the nightlife entertainment and the condo prices are much cheaper than Vietnam.
I probably would not stay in Saigon unless I really had to. I mean if you have never gone there, then do go and see what its like, but its not a place to live. So many nicer places in Vietnam to stay, like Da Nang. Have to understand in Asia ppl comes to the cities to work; if you don't need that then you can stay anywhere, especially nice places, by the beach, etc, with good facilities.
Her comments about Vietnamese people not hussling to make a living, is so privileged. You live in luxury while other people only present positives to you on the surface. She's really living in a bubble.
Actually I kind of agree w her. I have a friend who moved his factory from China to Vietnam and he said the Vietnamese are not as ambitious and go-getting in general.
Very interesting interview. Not sure why so many haters are commenting here. Life is a choice and Kavi is making a choice living her life the way she wants. Chill out people. I love these kinds of interviews with Vietkieu living in Vietnam. Please have more videos. Also bro, please let the interviewee answer fully before cutting her off bro. Nice clip.
Agree. Live and let live. Everyone is different and chooses to live whatever way they want. Too many overboard, judgmental comments here. She just says what she prefers but doesn't advise others. so, let her be.
I was thinking of moving to VIET NAM too, but I thought: air pollution in Vietnam is the worst, food poisoning is the normal, the water is very polluted. Traffic is nightmare. Health care is the worse ( go to the any hospital and look for yourself. The government often cut off water and electricity due to shortage. The weather is extremely hot and when it rains, flooded everywhere. The water from the sewer smell very bad. Don’t let these bad things stop you from moving to VIETNAM. good luck.
Bạn không cần phải về vì Việt nam không đáp ứng đủ tiêu chuẩn cao cấp của bạn . Ở Việt nam hiện nay người Mỹ , người Nhật hoặc Hàn quốc đông quá rồi . Theo đại sứ Hàn quốc vừa cho biết . Gần 300.000 người Hàn quốc đang sinh sống và làm việc ở Việt nam .

@@HungNguyen-dt8nl things you described happened like 20 years ago. Sure there’re some improvements to be made, especially with the traffic. But other than that if you go to a private hospital it’s much better quality n cheaper than in the some developed countries. And its very safe, no homeless or drug use on the streets. Just don’t leave valuables unattended though.
@@Congtrihayankeomut = you are so naïve. What I just described, happened every day in Vietnam. I am not talking bad about VIET Nam, but these things happen
I am glad she do it , me and my husband intend to go back to our birth country Vietnam, that what when he was 59 years of age , I give on telling him to go but he said I need to work for 2 more years to get the right amount of pension , even know we own our house we can rent it out but the unthinkable happens my husband have Cancer at the age of 60 years old and he passed away after one year of fight it , now I want to go but I have to wait to sale my house , all I hope for is I can go back to my country, I miss Vietnam so much, I am glad any one who made decisions and do it don't waste time, life is unpredictable.
@vienchan4975: the future of vn is very bright. With all of the changes in the world geopolitics, the American dreams are getting tougher and tougher to attain.
@@vienchan4975I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to heal from your husband's passing. May you find peace, happiness and contentment in VN. Do you watch the vids of Kyle Le? Your situation reminded me of one of his vids (husband died due to cancer).
Great interview, she gave her honest opinions and gave a lot of info that will help me make my travel plans clearer. I have health concerns with food, water and air pollution. I agree with her mom and probably Vietnam is an ideal destination to visit but probably not the place to live permanently. She seems to be really well centered and a delightful person to meet and hang out with. 🙏😊
My fiancee moved to the US with her kids because the rest of her family was here. I know her life and her kids lives were better in Saigon than in the US. She was a teacher in Saigon and although her pay was low, she had huge respect from students, parents, and administration. She lost all of that here in the US.
Her "it's chill here" thing is definitely from a foreigner who makes US wages perspective. I never lived there but like other people are saying $4k is ok (not great) in the US so it must be a crazy amount there. His playing devils advocate line was it tbh. All of her reasons for the Pros of being in vietnam about how in the US you have "to buy the house and keeping up with the jones's" is definitely still there for the people who were born there, it's just that she herself no longer has to conform to those things.
In my experience as an American having lived in Vietnam in Saigon for 8 years. It’s ’’chill’ here doesn’t only refer to the economic factors. Yes, money is important. I found and still find most Vietnamese people to be extraordinarily focused on the present moment in most situations. Couple this with that sense of community mentioned above and it does create a vibe that’s quite different from the west. After having some time away I’ve decided I can’t live without it. I love Vietnam, I’ve never felt more at home anywhere in my entire life. Life in Vietnam for me is durable fulfillment. Good days and bad days but on the whole life is enjoyable.
The locals are working their butt off to survive. I don’t think these expats (VK) really understand it. She gone to VN so she can have the lifestyle she can’t have in the US. Would she like to earn in local currency?
I'm Viet and I lived 19 years of my life there. I laugh every time when someone says it's more relaxing in VN. If you want to have more time to relax, you work less, then you earn less. Period. The same for the US or just anywhere in the world. In Vietnam, a lot of people struggle to live day by day. Ask those friends that can spend 3-4 hours at the coffee shop what they do, how much they earn. I stopped watching when she mentioned that. So delusional.
Lookin at all the people on the scooters can stress me out. I know they are not on those scooters for the fun of it. They are out there making a living or going about doing their business.
$4k is living an extravagant life over there and its not realistic for most people who want to move there and try to live on a budget. Depend on what city you in I think 1k is plenty and that still way more than most people that makes over there. I wouldn't even speak that number to anyone over there out of respect.
So I watched until 5:00 and then I realized she still need to do more research. I do a lot of charity in VN, people selling banh mi in small shop do not chill, they struggle to make a living. She might be right if it is a big - mid shop. Maybe she is living in a rich area and seller make good money to feel relaxed. Try really good out in the normal streets
To her and a number other oversea Vietnamese, Vietnam is just a place for a long, long vacation. Same as living there - but one can enjoy more with the mindset that this is my long vacation. In terms of dating, there was an expression for her situation "bringing woods back the forest"
I agreed with many thing that she said. Where I live, a bowl of pho noodle cost $17, tax is near 10%, tip is 20% - $22 per bowl of pho. In Vietnam, Ha Noi old town is near $3 (7x+ difference). 1 bed room rental is $2500 vs Da Nang at $600 (4x+). Not to mention medical cost comparison... However, the air quality in Vietnam is terrible. AQI in Hanoi and HCM is mostly red and purple levels. Food safety is also a concern and the need to adapt to city noise pollution. So base on individual preferences, compare the pros and cons... For me, I intend to stay in Vietnam 6 months or less per year (non rainy/typhoon season) - mainly in beach towns like Da Nang, Nha Trang, Qui Nhon, Vung Tau, Phan Thiet, Phu Quoc and spend sometime travelling to neighbor countries and other cities in Vietnam...The other 6 months, plan to stay back in the U.S.
Y'all do any local charity work while living there, like providing free English lessons to some of the people in small villages?. It's great you're discovering yourself and blah blah blah ...how bout spreading some of your privilege to help our people?
I like her, strong and independent. Even as a dude, i think women in general should be strong and independent. Now, i dont know how that translates to family life because we human have been wired Từ Cổ Chí Kim that women should be submissive but i never want to see my sister being submissive to her future husband. Ive seen that sh!t with my mom to my dad and i dont like that sh!t. My dad is what we call truyền thống gia trưởng cổ lỗ sĩ Hopefully women being strong and independent does not have any internal family conflicts
I love that idea of moving and living in Asian, especially Vietnam or Thailand but without retirement money and without nursing home when we get old and cannot longer strong enough or do things on our own it will be hard.
@@Geico23lmfao. If she's indian why would she consider leaving Canada to move to S.E.A when she can just go back to india? South india is pretty tropical i think. But by judging from her alias she's a chinese born canadian.
@@AHA_meme_Dollar Ain't nobody says canadian born of chinese. It's chinese born canadian. Just like VBC : it's vietnamese born canadian, aint no one is saying canadian born vietnamese because that would be a CBV. Nobody and i mean noooooo vietnamese person says "yah, i am a CBV" because wat da heo is a CBV?
Chinese Canadians are people of Chinese descent or origin who were born in or immigrated to Canada. They are Canadians by naturalization, but ethnically, their ancestral roots can be traced back to China (Li, 1998). Canadian-born Chinese are people of Chinese descent or origin who were born in Canada.
Bro $4000 a month is A LOT in Vietnam. A lot a lot. I go to Vietnam often and I never spend close to that amount. I go to Vietnam twice a year (will be going three times 2025) for about 25-30 days each time. My total spent including airfare, hotel, food, in country travel, transport is usually around $2600 for each 25-30 day trip.
I doubt Vietnamese guys would date her because they usually would go for younger girls. She wouldn’t date local Vn guys because she sees them as old fashioned and she is westernized (whatever that means). As for foreigners there are plenty of Vn local beauties with a true Asian charm so I doubt any of these guys would choose this girl over a local Vn beauty. Hmmm she is making very good money (4K USD) per month which is extremely high for Vietnam. What she says Vietnamese enjoy life hmmm I think she hasn’t met local people because they all worry about money and making ends meet. Life in Vietnam for locals is not easy. Vietnam although “socialist” on paper has a brutal form of capitalism and it’s a dog eats dog kind of place. Add to that the lack of transparency in the government and legal sectors and …. It is not an easy county to live in. I was talking to real Vietnamese in Saigon and they are all confused why me as a westerner like Vietnam so much. These real Vietnamese told me these words: we don’t understand why you westerners love Vietnam so much and many of you want to live here; we Vietnamese want to move out of Vietnam and migrate to a western country.
yea... she gonna stay single. But, partnering up was not her priority, nor is it necessary. She's okay, she'll be just fine. Nothing wrong with singledom, if that's what you want.
Really interesting interview. I'm honestly very shocked to hear that shes from Atlanta because I heard a lot of bad stories about how asians get treated there. I'm a 31 years old Vietnamese American man (culturally) who has lived in Southern California in areas heavily populated by chinese/vietnamese people my entire life. I'm a virgin who has not really dated. I consider myself a loser by asian american standards, let alone american standards. In visiting Vietnam a few times, I consider it to be a very romantic country, just based on the things I've seen. I've been considering becoming an expat because I feel like I don't know who I am and I feel like I don't belong here. Maybe living in Japan or Vietnam might changed that view. I can't really do WFH with my job so thats a whole other issue. But its so hard to know who you are if you don't do something to change either your environment or how you live your life.
I suggest that you go there to live only if you have an income stream from the West (like she does). If you can afford to stay there for a long vacation (a month or longer - afford time-wise & money-wise), then I suggest to do that too. Live there as a resident, not as a tourist. Good luck!
@@kitty_s23456 yeah, you mentioned a good point. I saw the other comments and honestly, the perspective shes presenting here is very privileged and naiive. Expats tend to already be rich with assets and good stream of income from their native countries. I am not in such a situation...
@@ClassyJohn if you're coming as a foreigner, many SE Asian countries have restrictions on jobs that can be done by foreigners. Local companies won't usually hire foreigners (bcos foreigners would expect higher pay). You can start a business but you'll have to deal with red tape. So it's best to have a source of income from the West (like the interviewee). Also, be aware of the visa policies - will depend on rules of host country & your passport/ nationality. For VN, you can get a 3-month visa then you can do a visa run. Edit: if you're Viet Kieu, then I think you can get a special type of visa.
every where, work to die is a normie, die to work is big issue right now too. however, life needs a balance of Happiness is what creates worthwhile life?
After spending the last two years in south America I decided to sell my house take that 400k profit take my 3k a month passive income and retire to Colombia at 45 years old. Life in America is not fun anymore dating has become impossible in the USA. The average American male no matter what age lives like a castrated caged animal. Life as a human being in general in much better in Colombia especially if you have money. A jetset Miami style high rise condo that's brand new cost 350$ a month
old topics. bottom line: two types of repatriating VK: old, 1st generation VK immigrants, who have the financial means to retire in Vietnam comfortably. They don't have to worry about making a living. Te second is young/foreign born VK like those in this series: for a variety of reasons, from personal growth/identity to escapement, to adventuring... they explore a new path of life. Ultimately, if they have to worry about making a living, then it is obvious that Vietnam economic opportunities are not as good as those in developed economies, and they have to make that decision whether it is worth it. Nothing wrong and some will find happiness and a niche of life, others will move on - or rather move back. It's all good as a phase of personal growth.
Not data security but tax liabilities with the foreign countries for the employer. That's the main reason. Data security next though. She's a contractor though so she can do what she wants, it's her company.
@@kayflip2233 I am freelanced as well. It depends on what type of business. I am in accounting and budgeting; the data security is important here. Also, you need to pay self employed income tax to the U.S and probably the country you are staying at. You are penalized if not paying estimated taxes quarterly.
The idea of living in Southeast Asia is so appealing, especially the cost of living, but the humidity kills me. It is so hot! Being constantly uncomfortable outside took away a lot of the desire.
Being opinionated is good, but overly opinionated will be a turn-off for everyone, doesn't matter if you are black, white, brown, or anything in between. Gotta find that balance! Good for her if she brings home $4000 USD and take advantage of low cost of living in VN. If her clients are US based, very likely she will be required to file tax, so the take income will be around 25% less. As a client I would want to write off as expense and therefore anyone working for me will end up with a 1099 form. Anyways, $4000 USD a month even as net income is not enough to cover rent at where I live.
Be careful if you do plan to go live there. If you only plan to go visit or tour those countries then the people there will treat you like a tourist and guest but if you decided to actually go live there red flags may occur.
@jeretso - @voan is correct. Being a tourist is different from being a resident. If you plan to move there, then I suggest that you visit first & stay longer (a month or more). If you're white (or black) and you don't look like a local and don't speak the language, you'll be subject to "skin tax". You'll also need a source of income & be aware of visa policies.
@@ClassyJohn if you're ethnically Chinese, you can pass as a local in some SE Asian countries (or maybe they'll say you're Chinese, Japanese or Korean). Some locals have bad vibes against Chinese mainlanders (because of geopolitics) but it depends on the country - whether that country has good/bad relations with China. But I think if you speak English with a western accent, then I think their bias will be removed. You won't be subjected to Asian hate crimes, that's for sure. However, be careful with your valuables (wallet, phone, etc). Some places/ cities are safer than others. Also, in Asia it's OK to carry a man-bag or crossbody bag. (I think that's not done in the west?) Keep the bag in front. Btw if you intend to live in VN, maybe improve on your Vietnamese. That way, you won't get the higher "tourist price". Even if you look local but don't speak the language, some vendors will try to mark up their prices. Good luck!
They're blindly trying to find that American dream. I don't blame them because life in V.N may have been a struggle and they think the U.S is their light at the end of the tunnel.
Not just Vietnamese wants to move to US. Everybody wants to come here, maybe not so much for Europe area because their money is higher than ours but for the rest of the world, US money holds higher value.
@@BT24287I've been in Canada for a long time 3/4 of my life. If i can live comfortably in Vietnam and with the proper health care system like canada then i'd definitely choose vietnam
@@saidroid3220 😅 I think healthcare in vietnam is one of the worst. One of my best friend who did not study well at medical school. After graduated, he bribed one of Famous Children hospital in Ho Chi Minh city $150k USD to be a doctor over there. 😅
Very interesting interview. Thank you. I admire millennial and gen z’s approach to finding a different way to create their best life. In our gen X days we really didn’t have opportunities to make a sustainable income online, anywhere in the world. Stuck at corporate jobs or running a local company. But we bought properties early. Now everything has changed. Having said that, we are now seeing many of these countries harden up on ease of access to residency and PR’s. Let see where things go in the future
USA is the land of opportunity for jobs, school all that, but it is stressful even when you are financially independent. Vietnam is more fun and less stressful even for people with very little of money. I personally exprienced that if the majority of people agree with me.
I think it's good she's taking 9 months out to experience another country when she is young. No difference from going abroad to school or whatever. However, she should know that on surface life it's not the same as reality.
Also, how do I say this without being judgmental but she seems like she can take it. But imagine being a 32 yr old woman living with only a water dispenser, no pots nor pans and nothing but alcohol in the fridge. And she has the nerves to call other expats LBH? She’s a walking red flag in both VN and America.
Locals only struggle if they have debts to pay, usually gambling debts. It's a country with a 90% home ownership rate. There's always room to improve, but the government is on the right track compared to many countries
As a former Vietnamese American who lived in VN, I'll give her max 3 years. She will be running back to USA. This is nothing new, Vietnamese American have tired to move back to VN for over 37 years. THERE IS A REASON why your parents are living in America vs in their motherland country. Enjoy your time in VN and good luck to both of you. ❤❤
This is true. I also know of some Viet Kieu who are young who went to VN and have now gone back to the West. I think if they're retired, it's OK to live out their senior lives in the East. But if they're young, it's hard to make money (or other stuff like healthcare, conveniences, etc) in the East - whether that's VN, PH, Indo, Cambo, etc. Still, if they're in their 20s or 30s & want to experience the motherland, then good luck & good health to them!
Vietnam is a beautiful country to visit with so many e interesting things to do and cost of living is so affordable compared with the USA but I would never move to Vietnam permanently, not even wanting to stay for more than a few months.
@@armunroyah she has a great gig. Making 4k usd and living in vietnam, it doesn't get any better than that. Kudos to her If i can make that much remotely i'd be living there too but in the country side where i was born. I dont need much because that 4k usd/cad can make me super comfortable in the country side
The fact that she is unpicked age in vietnam but bringing up LBH/ yellow fever is wild. Sounds like jealously / bitter that she is now unpicked in from locals and vietnamese
@@AHA_meme_Dollar Yep and she's probably unmarried because nobody is good enough for her. She said when asked if she got abused or cheated on that she didn't and he was a nice guy. Well maybe he walked away for reasons unknown, or maybe she got bored and needed to travel and "find herself" like many women in the west.
This chick ain’t never getting married with high maintenance attitude. She goes to a new country and complains about the men’s traditional mindset. Did she expect the whole culture to change for her instead of adapting to it?
she is expressing her life opinion is great. she reduced her workload so to focus on life balance is great too. really, nothing is wrong with that. The sense of entitlement will change living as expat in VN :) just speaking from experience
She'll grow up and humble herself eventually. I mean does she hear herself speak? She said they were all good guys and nothing wrong with them and she still cant commit.
Maybe they dont check her boxes? Everyone have different views and criteria. I may find her attractive but you may not. Different strokes for different folks.
Native vietnameses can't make as much as the the foreigners. the foreigners feel it cheap bc they compare those services' cost to their home countries'
This woman is living a luxury lifestyle on the strength of the Dollars but she thinks the locals can be just as relaxed as she is about their lives. She should visit a factory in the countryside and see how tough lives are in Vietnam 🤦🏼♂️. One minor health issue and she’ll find out how relaxed it is living in Vietnam. I’ve lived and worked in the country a few years back and traveled around enough to see how lives can be very stressful for the Vietnamese.
@@ClassyJohn With that mindset and attitude she display (typical modern western women) it's a sign that she'll be alone with cats when she's in her mid 40s and beyond. 1)She's not willing to submit to a Husband as a Wife. 2)Below average looking. 3)Tattoo. Those three examples are enough to not willing to invest in, just ain't worth it. She probably will have mates here and there, but best believe ain't no men of value would scoop that spoil doo doo up.
From early humans, delude disorder syndrome has been present until now. Each person is responsible for his or her own life and should avoid risky decisions in the real world.
This is why everybody wants to come to America. For example an Uber driver makes 134,000 us dollars a year in NYC. Yes working hard 8 hours a day 6 days a week. My friend and his wife both driving. They are now retire at age 35. So after driving for 7 years they save one million dollars in cash. They both now live in Da lat. Congrats to hard working people. 💯👍🙏🏖🏝🗼
Bruh the fact that she earns 4k USD living in low living standard country makes you rich and makes everything look good too. I earn more than her which is 5,800 usd but I live and work in NYC. That doesn’t make me rich here but above average somehow.
great interview. life with 1500 usd would also be relaxed I guess. you at least would stay in that 30% income for rent range while still living in a quite luxury apartement. Am I wrong? I thought about reaching 1500.- passive income to slowly start my potential emigration to vietnam. I am far away from retirement, but once I do i d still get the minimum rent on top of that 1500.-. Potentially reaching all together around 4-5k but in 30 or so years when that money is also half as valuable lol. but still. I guess my plan might work out more or less. I can still work for plenty of years but do something I like rather then do something I need to survive. cant be bothered to work 2-3 nights in a bar to have some play money while still staying focused on saving my passive income. I know lots of questions and thoughts. but the question is mainly, is a confortable life with 1500.- possible in Vietnam? thank you
Good content. Hope you find happiness in vn. The longer you’re there the sooner you’ll realize that Saigon is a beast to survive in.

What? If you’re happy at 30-36K annually, then that means you are working some type of entry level job. Her settling down to $4K monthly with only 2 clients clearly means she was making over $10K monthly in the US. That’s decent money unless you reside in California or NYC.
In the US you have to keep up with the Kardashians. OMG! 😂😂 I've never watched 'em cuz I cannot stand show. That's why I am planning to go back to Vietnam, returning to my roots.

The petro dollar deal between the Saudi and the USA just ended this past Sunday the 9th 2024. The Saudi decided to not renew the deal.
Don’t discount Laos. Outside of Vientiane, life seems calm. Many places to live that are very laid back. You want no hectic, look to where the Hmong live.
@@generalnguyenngocloan1700Laos is chill but they don't have good healthcare. I know of an expat who chose to go to TH to have eye surgery.
Get ready to get scammed then. Cambodia is the known for having scammers. Plus it is much more expensive for food and living cost is much higher. Only good about that country is the nightlife entertainment and the condo prices are much cheaper than Vietnam.
I probably would not stay in Saigon unless I really had to. I mean if you have never gone there, then do go and see what its like, but its not a place to live. So many nicer places in Vietnam to stay, like Da Nang. Have to understand in Asia ppl comes to the cities to work; if you don't need that then you can stay anywhere, especially nice places, by the beach, etc, with good facilities.
I think Da Nang is my go to city once I make the move to Vietnam
Danang is the best, environment is top notch, and so laid back.
Da nang all da way
Her comments about Vietnamese people not hussling to make a living, is so privileged. You live in luxury while other people only present positives to you on the surface. She's really living in a bubble.
It's her perception. It's true (in a way) and also false (in a way).
she lives a fake life. she can't adapt to USA anymore
She is naive. Once she is a victim such as in a car accident then she will know problem better.
Actually I kind of agree w her. I have a friend who moved his factory from China to Vietnam and he said the Vietnamese are not as ambitious and go-getting in general.
@@wonderfulworld572 the Vietnamese prefers working in Japan to working for a foreign company in Vietnam.
Very interesting interview. Not sure why so many haters are commenting here. Life is a choice and Kavi is making a choice living her life the way she wants. Chill out people. I love these kinds of interviews with Vietkieu living in Vietnam. Please have more videos.
Also bro, please let the interviewee answer fully before cutting her off bro.
Nice clip.
Agree. Live and let live. Everyone is different and chooses to live whatever way they want. Too many overboard, judgmental comments here. She just says what she prefers but doesn't advise others. so, let her be.
Yes, you’re absolutely right. People should mind their own business, that’s her life she can do whatever she wanna do 😂peace
@@truthseeker7081 very truth. I love America , this country gives me and my family so much.
I was thinking of moving to VIET NAM too, but I thought: air pollution in Vietnam is the worst, food poisoning is the normal, the water is very polluted. Traffic is nightmare. Health care is the worse ( go to the any hospital and look for yourself.
The government often cut off water and electricity due to shortage. The weather is extremely hot and when it rains, flooded everywhere. The water from the sewer smell very bad.
Don’t let these bad things stop you from moving to VIETNAM. good luck.
Take it from a former Viet kieu who lived in VN, don't do it. Vacation and go.
Bạn không cần phải về vì Việt nam không đáp ứng đủ tiêu chuẩn cao cấp của bạn .
Ở Việt nam hiện nay người Mỹ , người Nhật hoặc Hàn quốc đông quá rồi .
Theo đại sứ Hàn quốc vừa cho biết . Gần 300.000 người Hàn quốc đang sinh sống và làm việc ở Việt nam .
@@NhatVinhLe-lm5jh = thì tôi đã nói rồi. Đừng để những thứ không tốt này làm bạn thay đổi quyết định về VN sống.
Hỏi thật bạn, bạn không cần trả lời và bạn cũng không cần đồng ý, bạn chỉ cần suy tư một chút thôi. Những điều tôi nói có đúng không??
@@HungNguyen-dt8nl things you described happened like 20 years ago. Sure there’re some improvements to be made, especially with the traffic. But other than that if you go to a private hospital it’s much better quality n cheaper than in the some developed countries. And its very safe, no homeless or drug use on the streets. Just don’t leave valuables unattended though.
@@Congtrihayankeomut = you are so naïve. What I just described, happened every day in Vietnam. I am not talking bad about VIET Nam, but these things happen
I am glad she do it , me and my husband intend to go back to our birth country Vietnam, that what when he was 59 years of age , I give on telling him to go but he said I need to work for 2 more years to get the right amount of pension , even know we own our house we can rent it out but the unthinkable happens my husband have Cancer at the age of 60 years old and he passed away after one year of fight it , now I want to go but I have to wait to sale my house , all I hope for is I can go back to my country, I miss Vietnam so much, I am glad any one who made decisions and do it don't waste time, life is unpredictable.
Sorry to hear that.
@@armunro Thank you.
Good for you...please renounce your US Citizenship and don't come back to America. Thank you
@vienchan4975: the future of vn is very bright. With all of the changes in the world geopolitics, the American dreams are getting tougher and tougher to attain.
@@vienchan4975I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to heal from your husband's passing. May you find peace, happiness and contentment in VN. Do you watch the vids of Kyle Le? Your situation reminded me of one of his vids (husband died due to cancer).
Great interview, she gave her honest opinions and gave a lot of info that will help me make my travel plans clearer. I have health concerns with food, water and air pollution. I agree with her mom and probably Vietnam is an ideal destination to visit but probably not the place to live permanently. She seems to be really well centered and a delightful person to meet and hang out with.
🙏😊
This interview is really interesting. I love how young Viet Kieu have other perspectives about living in Viet Nam.
My fiancee moved to the US with her kids because the rest of her family was here. I know her life and her kids lives were better in Saigon than in the US. She was a teacher in Saigon and although her pay was low, she had huge respect from students, parents, and administration. She lost all of that here in the US.
Her "it's chill here" thing is definitely from a foreigner who makes US wages perspective. I never lived there but like other people are saying $4k is ok (not great) in the US so it must be a crazy amount there. His playing devils advocate line was it tbh. All of her reasons for the Pros of being in vietnam about how in the US you have "to buy the house and keeping up with the jones's" is definitely still there for the people who were born there, it's just that she herself no longer has to conform to those things.
So true. It's only not a "rat-race" if you're an American living in Vietnam and earning American income WHILE living there.
Yeah that’s a big part of it but Viet culture is also very community based. People go out to hang out and socialize a lot too
In my experience as an American having lived in Vietnam in Saigon for 8 years. It’s ’’chill’ here doesn’t only refer to the economic factors. Yes, money is important. I found and still find most Vietnamese people to be extraordinarily focused on the present moment in most situations. Couple this with that sense of community mentioned above and it does create a vibe that’s quite different from the west.
After having some time away I’ve decided I can’t live without it. I love Vietnam, I’ve never felt more at home anywhere in my entire life. Life in Vietnam for me is durable fulfillment. Good days and bad days but on the whole life is enjoyable.
The locals are working their butt off to survive. I don’t think these expats (VK) really understand it. She gone to VN so she can have the lifestyle she can’t have in the US. Would she like to earn in local currency?
I'm Viet and I lived 19 years of my life there. I laugh every time when someone says it's more relaxing in VN. If you want to have more time to relax, you work less, then you earn less. Period. The same for the US or just anywhere in the world. In Vietnam, a lot of people struggle to live day by day. Ask those friends that can spend 3-4 hours at the coffee shop what they do, how much they earn. I stopped watching when she mentioned that. So delusional.
I agree I have many extended families in Vietnam and they have to hustle or they don’t get to eat.
Lookin at all the people on the scooters can stress me out. I know they are not on those scooters for the fun of it. They are out there making a living or going about doing their business.
Wrong in the u, s. It is ten times more expensive for everything, so you have to work all the time
She means for her personally coz she’s still earning a US income. If was earning a VN income, then no way she can be that relax.
I was thinking the same thing.
The honey moon period has a specific timeline
$4k is living an extravagant life over there and its not realistic for most people who want to move there and try to live on a budget. Depend on what city you in I think 1k is plenty and that still way more than most people that makes over there. I wouldn't even speak that number to anyone over there out of respect.
I don’t think you can live comfortably with 1K in Hcmc or Hanoi. You still need to budget like hell. 2K would be somewhat comfortable.
So I watched until 5:00 and then I realized she still need to do more research. I do a lot of charity in VN, people selling banh mi in small shop do not chill, they struggle to make a living. She might be right if it is a big - mid shop. Maybe she is living in a rich area and seller make good money to feel relaxed. Try really good out in the normal streets
I've lived in VN 20 years. Not ever going back to the rat race.
To her and a number other oversea Vietnamese, Vietnam is just a place for a long, long vacation. Same as living there - but one can enjoy more with the mindset that this is my long vacation. In terms of dating, there was an expression for her situation "bringing woods back the forest"
Cho cui ve rung 😆
if I get a chance I’ll move to Viet nam instantly. been living in US for over 20 years I can’t wait to move back.
I agreed with many thing that she said. Where I live, a bowl of pho noodle cost $17, tax is near 10%, tip is 20% - $22 per bowl of pho. In Vietnam, Ha Noi old town is near $3 (7x+ difference). 1 bed room rental is $2500 vs Da Nang at $600 (4x+). Not to mention medical cost comparison...
However, the air quality in Vietnam is terrible. AQI in Hanoi and HCM is mostly red and purple levels. Food safety is also a concern and the need to adapt to city noise pollution. So base on individual preferences, compare the pros and cons...
For me, I intend to stay in Vietnam 6 months or less per year (non rainy/typhoon season) - mainly in beach towns like Da Nang, Nha Trang, Qui Nhon, Vung Tau, Phan Thiet, Phu Quoc and spend sometime travelling to neighbor countries and other cities in Vietnam...The other 6 months, plan to stay back in the U.S.
Great video! Thank you Kavi for being so candid about your experience.
Y'all do any local charity work while living there, like providing free English lessons to some of the people in small villages?. It's great you're discovering yourself and blah blah blah ...how bout spreading some of your privilege to help our people?
I like her, strong and independent. Even as a dude, i think women in general should be strong and independent.
Now, i dont know how that translates to family life because we human have been wired Từ Cổ Chí Kim that women should be submissive but i never want to see my sister being submissive to her future husband. Ive seen that sh!t with my mom to my dad and i dont like that sh!t. My dad is what we call truyền thống gia trưởng cổ lỗ sĩ
Hopefully women being strong and independent does not have any internal family conflicts
there are differences but solving them peacefully is the real goal.
Strong and independent = single
"wired"? no. Women have never been wired to be submissive.
I loved when she said "Home land" when preferred to Vietnam !!!
She is positive because she is making 4k usd a month. Cut her income down to 1k then she will feel the pain of the locals.
Yup. She naive and are in her bubble.
1kUSD(25,000,000 VND) a month is still a lot bro. 10,000,000 VND a month is considered a lot, living in saigon.
1000 USD is still a very livable wage for locals in their 20s. Try 500 USD!
@@icedragon7396 try $300.
She got 4k a month because she deserves it!
I love that idea of moving and living in Asian, especially Vietnam or Thailand but without retirement money and without nursing home when we get old and cannot longer strong enough or do things on our own it will be hard.
I'm Canadian, and considering relocating to South East Asia for the warmer weather and cheaper cost of living.
So you’re Indian
@@Geico23lmfao. If she's indian why would she consider leaving Canada to move to S.E.A when she can just go back to india? South india is pretty tropical i think.
But by judging from her alias she's a chinese born canadian.
cbc = canadian born of chinese
@@AHA_meme_Dollar Ain't nobody says canadian born of chinese. It's chinese born canadian.
Just like VBC : it's vietnamese born canadian, aint no one is saying canadian born vietnamese because that would be a CBV. Nobody and i mean noooooo vietnamese person says "yah, i am a CBV" because wat da heo is a CBV?
Chinese Canadians are people of Chinese descent or origin who were born in or immigrated to Canada. They are Canadians by naturalization, but ethnically, their ancestral roots can be traced back to China (Li, 1998). Canadian-born Chinese are people of Chinese descent or origin who were born in Canada.
Bro $4000 a month is A LOT in Vietnam. A lot a lot. I go to Vietnam often and I never spend close to that amount. I go to Vietnam twice a year (will be going three times 2025) for about 25-30 days each time. My total spent including airfare, hotel, food, in country travel, transport is usually around $2600 for each 25-30 day trip.
When you have USD to exchange to dong, yes! Life is great. But many aren’t that fortunate
I doubt Vietnamese guys would date her because they usually would go for younger girls.
She wouldn’t date local Vn guys because she sees them as old fashioned and she is westernized (whatever that means).
As for foreigners there are plenty of Vn local beauties with a true Asian charm so I doubt any of these guys would choose this girl over a local Vn beauty.
Hmmm she is making very good money (4K USD) per month which is extremely high for Vietnam. What she says Vietnamese enjoy life hmmm I think she hasn’t met local people because they all worry about money and making ends meet. Life in Vietnam for locals is not easy. Vietnam although “socialist” on paper has a brutal form of capitalism and it’s a dog eats dog kind of place. Add to that the lack of transparency in the government and legal sectors and …. It is not an easy county to live in. I was talking to real Vietnamese in Saigon and they are all confused why me as a westerner like Vietnam so much. These real Vietnamese told me these words: we don’t understand why you westerners love Vietnam so much and many of you want to live here; we Vietnamese want to move out of Vietnam and migrate to a western country.
Awesome interview. Would love to see more of these types of interviews with viet kieus
Come back tomorrow we got one lined up for you
You made the right decision. You are not alone. There are thousands of us. Cheers to us who are able to break free from the slaving system.
yea... she gonna stay single.
But, partnering up was not her priority, nor is it necessary. She's okay, she'll be just fine.
Nothing wrong with singledom, if that's what you want.
Every woman wants a family. It’s only natural.
@@dealman3312 She's 32. Time is not on her side.
@@Kthomasritchie this is true.
Egg freezing in the cards
@@dealman3312 No, not me.
Really interesting interview. I'm honestly very shocked to hear that shes from Atlanta because I heard a lot of bad stories about how asians get treated there.
I'm a 31 years old Vietnamese American man (culturally) who has lived in Southern California in areas heavily populated by chinese/vietnamese people my entire life. I'm a virgin who has not really dated. I consider myself a loser by asian american standards, let alone american standards. In visiting Vietnam a few times, I consider it to be a very romantic country, just based on the things I've seen. I've been considering becoming an expat because I feel like I don't know who I am and I feel like I don't belong here. Maybe living in Japan or Vietnam might changed that view. I can't really do WFH with my job so thats a whole other issue. But its so hard to know who you are if you don't do something to change either your environment or how you live your life.
go with Happiness bro
I suggest that you go there to live only if you have an income stream from the West (like she does). If you can afford to stay there for a long vacation (a month or longer - afford time-wise & money-wise), then I suggest to do that too. Live there as a resident, not as a tourist. Good luck!
@@kitty_s23456 yeah, you mentioned a good point. I saw the other comments and honestly, the perspective shes presenting here is very privileged and naiive. Expats tend to already be rich with assets and good stream of income from their native countries. I am not in such a situation...
@@ClassyJohn if you're coming as a foreigner, many SE Asian countries have restrictions on jobs that can be done by foreigners. Local companies won't usually hire foreigners (bcos foreigners would expect higher pay). You can start a business but you'll have to deal with red tape. So it's best to have a source of income from the West (like the interviewee). Also, be aware of the visa policies - will depend on rules of host country & your passport/ nationality. For VN, you can get a 3-month visa then you can do a visa run. Edit: if you're Viet Kieu, then I think you can get a special type of visa.
I'm a virgin who has not really dated???? at age of 31??? Go to the temple bro!
In US work until you die. In Vietnam enjoy every moment of your life.
not the first time ive heard that
Not for the locals
So you don’t have to work in VietNam? How do you enjoy life without any source income. Unless you live with your rich parents and they support you
every where, work to die is a normie, die to work is big issue right now too. however, life needs a balance of Happiness is what creates worthwhile life?
In Vietnam, you enjoy every poor moment too. 🤣 Du ma, you know wtf you're talking about.
Thanks for keeping it real. Cheers, from Canada
After spending the last two years in south America I decided to sell my house take that 400k profit take my 3k a month passive income and retire to Colombia at 45 years old. Life in America is not fun anymore dating has become impossible in the USA. The average American male no matter what age lives like a castrated caged animal. Life as a human being in general in much better in Colombia especially if you have money. A jetset Miami style high rise condo that's brand new cost 350$ a month
easy to get laid?
old topics. bottom line: two types of repatriating VK: old, 1st generation VK immigrants, who have the financial means to retire in Vietnam comfortably. They don't have to worry about making a living. Te second is young/foreign born VK like those in this series: for a variety of reasons, from personal growth/identity to escapement, to adventuring... they explore a new path of life. Ultimately, if they have to worry about making a living, then it is obvious that Vietnam economic opportunities are not as good as those in developed economies, and they have to make that decision whether it is worth it. Nothing wrong and some will find happiness and a niche of life, others will move on - or rather move back. It's all good as a phase of personal growth.
Unfortunately, most remote work from the United States is not allowed out of the United States. This is mostly due to data security.
Not data security but tax liabilities with the foreign countries for the employer. That's the main reason. Data security next though. She's a contractor though so she can do what she wants, it's her company.
@@kayflip2233 I am freelanced as well. It depends on what type of business. I am in accounting and budgeting; the data security is important here. Also, you need to pay self employed income tax to the U.S and probably the country you are staying at. You are penalized if not paying estimated taxes quarterly.
The idea of living in Southeast Asia is so appealing, especially the cost of living, but the humidity kills me. It is so hot! Being constantly uncomfortable outside took away a lot of the desire.
america life so fast shallow and stressful soon i m moving to my country also
Being opinionated is good, but overly opinionated will be a turn-off for everyone, doesn't matter if you are black, white, brown, or anything in between. Gotta find that balance! Good for her if she brings home $4000 USD and take advantage of low cost of living in VN. If her clients are US based, very likely she will be required to file tax, so the take income will be around 25% less. As a client I would want to write off as expense and therefore anyone working for me will end up with a 1099 form. Anyways, $4000 USD a month even as net income is not enough to cover rent at where I live.
Thank you. I will also move to Vietnam and other Asian countries. I might try them all
Be careful if you do plan to go live there. If you only plan to go visit or tour those countries then the people there will treat you like a tourist and guest but if you decided to actually go live there red flags may occur.
@jeretso - @voan is correct. Being a tourist is different from being a resident. If you plan to move there, then I suggest that you visit first & stay longer (a month or more). If you're white (or black) and you don't look like a local and don't speak the language, you'll be subject to "skin tax". You'll also need a source of income & be aware of visa policies.
@@VOAN please explain. I've been considering moving to an asian country as an American born asian but i am viewing things through a tinted window.
@@kitty_s23456 what kind of issues may I face if I'm ethnically Chinese? my vietnamese is not fluent
@@ClassyJohn if you're ethnically Chinese, you can pass as a local in some SE Asian countries (or maybe they'll say you're Chinese, Japanese or Korean).
Some locals have bad vibes against Chinese mainlanders (because of geopolitics) but it depends on the country - whether that country has good/bad relations with China. But I think if you speak English with a western accent, then I think their bias will be removed. You won't be subjected to Asian hate crimes, that's for sure.
However, be careful with your valuables (wallet, phone, etc). Some places/ cities are safer than others. Also, in Asia it's OK to carry a man-bag or crossbody bag. (I think that's not done in the west?) Keep the bag in front.
Btw if you intend to live in VN, maybe improve on your Vietnamese. That way, you won't get the higher "tourist price". Even if you look local but don't speak the language, some vendors will try to mark up their prices. Good luck!
I can survive for $4k a month in the US. And the salaries are a lot higher. That’s why a lot of Viets wants to move to the US.
They're blindly trying to find that American dream. I don't blame them because life in V.N may have been a struggle and they think the U.S is their light at the end of the tunnel.
Not just Vietnamese wants to move to US. Everybody wants to come here, maybe not so much for Europe area because their money is higher than ours but for the rest of the world, US money holds higher value.
@@saidroid3220yeah, Im one of them, and its totally true. I’m proud to be a US Citizen. Vietnam is good place to visit, not live
@@BT24287I've been in Canada for a long time 3/4 of my life. If i can live comfortably in Vietnam and with the proper health care system like canada then i'd definitely choose vietnam
@@saidroid3220 😅 I think healthcare in vietnam is one of the worst. One of my best friend who did not study well at medical school. After graduated, he bribed one of Famous Children hospital in Ho Chi Minh city $150k USD to be a doctor over there. 😅
Very interesting interview. Thank you.
I admire millennial and gen z’s approach to finding a different way to create their best life. In our gen X days we really didn’t have opportunities to make a sustainable income online, anywhere in the world. Stuck at corporate jobs or running a local company. But we bought properties early. Now everything has changed.
Having said that, we are now seeing many of these countries harden up on ease of access to residency and PR’s. Let see where things go in the future
USA is the land of opportunity for jobs, school all that, but it is stressful even when you are financially independent. Vietnam is more fun and less stressful even for people with very little of money. I personally exprienced that if the majority of people agree with me.
I think it's good she's taking 9 months out to experience another country when she is young. No difference from going abroad to school or whatever. However, she should know that on surface life it's not the same as reality.
Kavi!!! ❤ "I thought we're about to get shot" - that one's so scary and sad about the US :(
Everywhere is perfect when you have money
Also, how do I say this without being judgmental but she seems like she can take it. But imagine being a 32 yr old woman living with only a water dispenser, no pots nor pans and nothing but alcohol in the fridge. And she has the nerves to call other expats LBH? She’s a walking red flag in both VN and America.
Locals only struggle if they have debts to pay, usually gambling debts. It's a country with a 90% home ownership rate. There's always room to improve, but the government is on the right track compared to many countries
very interesting to hear her perspective on various topics.
As a former Vietnamese American who lived in VN, I'll give her max 3 years. She will be running back to USA. This is nothing new, Vietnamese American have tired to move back to VN for over 37 years. THERE IS A REASON why your parents are living in America vs in their motherland country. Enjoy your time in VN and good luck to both of you. ❤❤
This is true. I also know of some Viet Kieu who are young who went to VN and have now gone back to the West. I think if they're retired, it's OK to live out their senior lives in the East. But if they're young, it's hard to make money (or other stuff like healthcare, conveniences, etc) in the East - whether that's VN, PH, Indo, Cambo, etc. Still, if they're in their 20s or 30s & want to experience the motherland, then good luck & good health to them!
Probably
Nothing wrong of taking a break to gain a new perspective, and returning to the previous path feeling recharged.
For these young people, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!
Vietnam is a beautiful country to visit with so many e interesting things to do and cost of living is so affordable compared with the USA but I would never move to Vietnam permanently, not even wanting to stay for more than a few months.
$4000 a month 🤣 Average wage in vietnam is $300-$400
She is a rich returnee! 😆 $1000 would be comfortable.
If Video editing pays that much and she only needs two jobs a month, I need to learn that shit.
All you need is $1000 to live a comfortable life. $2k you can treat yourself alot more. $4k you can live like a king 😂.
American expats have it great.
@@armunroyah she has a great gig. Making 4k usd and living in vietnam, it doesn't get any better than that. Kudos to her

she sounds like a fun person to hang out with.
Very interesting interview, thanks!
The fact that she is unpicked age in vietnam but bringing up LBH/ yellow fever is wild.
Sounds like jealously / bitter that she is now unpicked in from locals and vietnamese
definitely some mixed entitlement but her expressions of dating views do display her ego and modern feminism?
@@AHA_meme_Dollarlisten how she constantly hypes herself up.
@@AHA_meme_Dollar Yep and she's probably unmarried because nobody is good enough for her. She said when asked if she got abused or cheated on that she didn't and he was a nice guy. Well maybe he walked away for reasons unknown, or maybe she got bored and needed to travel and "find herself" like many women in the west.
This chick ain’t never getting married with high maintenance attitude. She goes to a new country and complains about the men’s traditional mindset. Did she expect the whole culture to change for her instead of adapting to it?
Exactly! Just arrogant and ignorant. Should do DEEP research into cultural customs and differences before moving anywhere.
She is opinionated, don't tell her what to do, she thinks she is different, career focus, and she's single? Shocking 😂
she is expressing her life opinion is great. she reduced her workload so to focus on life balance is great too. really, nothing is wrong with that. The sense of entitlement will change living as expat in VN :) just speaking from experience
@@AHA_meme_Dollar let's see if that happens 😊
$4,000K a month in the homeland is like $15,000 in shitty US.
She'll grow up and humble herself eventually. I mean does she hear herself speak?
She said they were all good guys and nothing wrong with them and she still cant commit.
Maybe they dont check her boxes? Everyone have different views and criteria.
I may find her attractive but you may not. Different strokes for different folks.
@@saidroid3220try dating her and realize how high maintenance she is. It’s not just about looks and different strokes for different folks.
Native vietnameses can't make as much as the the foreigners. the foreigners feel it cheap bc they compare those services' cost to their home countries'
Awesome interview ❤😊😊
Good Luck Young Lady 🙏
It’s hilarious that she looks down on those “losers back home”. I can see why she’s single.
I LOVE THE SPOON!!!
Glad your momma started to shift her viewpoint 👍🏽
How can I move to live there if I am jobless, no saving money or passive income from Laos, Cambodia or Thailand?
Good luck. Let us know how things go in 6 months or a year
She’ll head back to the states after her task is done 😂
This woman is living a luxury lifestyle on the strength of the Dollars but she thinks the locals can be just as relaxed as she is about their lives. She should visit a factory in the countryside and see how tough lives are in Vietnam 🤦🏼♂️. One minor health issue and she’ll find out how relaxed it is living in Vietnam. I’ve lived and worked in the country a few years back and traveled around enough to see how lives can be very stressful for the Vietnamese.
Future cat lady

haha. yup
please explain to me how do you know?
@@ClassyJohn With that mindset and attitude she display (typical modern western women) it's a sign that she'll be alone with cats when she's in her mid 40s and beyond. 1)She's not willing to submit to a Husband as a Wife. 2)Below average looking. 3)Tattoo. Those three examples are enough to not willing to invest in, just ain't worth it. She probably will have mates here and there, but best believe ain't no men of value would scoop that spoil doo doo up.

With 4K USD all over South East Asia (except for Singapore) you are rockstar!!!!
She can only live in her native country Vietnam. There are Visa rules and regulations on other South East Asian countries.
She sounds like the exact reason why passport bros exist in America
This is why everybody wants to come to America. For example an Uber driver makes 134,000 us dollars a year in NYC. Yes working hard 8 hours a day 6 days a week. My friend and his wife both driving. They are now retire at age 35. So after driving for 7 years they save one million dollars in cash. They both now live in Da lat. Congrats to hard working people. 💯👍🙏🏖🏝🗼
Lmfao... that's a hard 🧢🪖 bro
tu me fais rire, aller en Amérique pour te prendre une balle perdue 🤣😂
Bruh the fact that she earns 4k USD living in low living standard country makes you rich and makes everything look good too. I earn more than her which is 5,800 usd but I live and work in NYC. That doesn’t make me rich here but above average somehow.
great interview!
Great interview. Have you had an experience where you had to bribe the authorities in VN? I would love to hear your stories and/or the local's.
Good interview!
She will stay single everywhere for a while to come. Not that that is a curse. But her attitude is not conducive to much. Anyway, wish her the best!
Everyone circumstances are different. But listen to your mom, she is wiser. 😂 But she loves you.
Love the spoon mic 🎤 🥄
great interview. life with 1500 usd would also be relaxed I guess. you at least would stay in that 30% income for rent range while still living in a quite luxury apartement. Am I wrong? I thought about reaching 1500.- passive income to slowly start my potential emigration to vietnam. I am far away from retirement, but once I do i d still get the minimum rent on top of that 1500.-. Potentially reaching all together around 4-5k but in 30 or so years when that money is also half as valuable lol. but still. I guess my plan might work out more or less. I can still work for plenty of years but do something I like rather then do something I need to survive. cant be bothered to work 2-3 nights in a bar to have some play money while still staying focused on saving my passive income. I know lots of questions and thoughts. but the question is mainly, is a confortable life with 1500.- possible in Vietnam? thank you
Get the guide it outlines my recommended numbers and more.
@@brokethehabit lol, read the intro paragraph about messageing random people and found it funny. will get it. thank you.
Good content. Hope you find happiness in vn. The longer you’re there the sooner you’ll realize that Saigon is a beast to survive in. Girl in the interview is def privileged and would not survive without her American job. That apartment she’s renting costs more to buy than a house in Atlanta. Call it what it is-she’s on a long term vacation with 100% American support.
You might be right but good for her living her dreams. I wish I could work remotely making 4k c.a.d living in v.n. too
@@saidroid3220you have really low self expectations then because any dead end call center job will pay you that while you live in vn
@@0912sj what chu talkin' bout willis? Ain't no dead call center paying $4k/month. U think you're smart with that condescending bullshit comment?
@@saidroid3220AMEX customer service. All remote. $25 an hour. It’s dead end job. Like I said, you have really low self expectations if you look up to these people. They’re doing the bare minimum with their lives in VN.
32 and not married?! Need to go to a fortuneteller.
I’ll be her fortune teller 😂
Just my interpretation; at 32 she still looks/acts 23; ❤🎉😊.
@@havenpersonalcare7968dont u want a women like that? Experienced in life, young looking and a freak in the sheets? U dont want no star fish women in the sheets bro.😂😂
haha
@@havenpersonalcare7968 correct, she lacks maturity and enlightenment of someone in the 30's
Always have a backup plan. Lots of things can change over time.
She has a backup plan. Thats the 4k usd job lmfao
wow...4k a mount is high standard....2500-3000 is good:)
What? If you’re happy at 30-36K annually, then that means you are working some type of entry level job. Her settling down to $4K monthly with only 2 clients clearly means she was making over $10K monthly in the US. That’s decent money unless you reside in California or NYC.
@@stephenchong972 are we taking about rent...or income?
@@keithhere5868 her monthly income
People in vietnam are so chill 🤣🤣🤣
I love your content and what your doing
Click bait. What did she sold?
Your time on this planet is a gift, God Blessed 🙏🙏🙏 Amen…
Kavi is cool. Enjoy where you are. Great interview.
Good for you Ka !
Great interview, very interesting!
Thanks for watching
date her bro
awesome point of view
In the US you have to keep up with the Kardashians. OMG! 😂😂 I've never watched 'em cuz I cannot stand show. That's why I am planning to go back to Vietnam, returning to my roots.
