    Woo, under $1,000 per Month. I am going to put a middle finger to my manager and packaging up and hitting to Nha Trang Vietnam in August or September. Good for you. Enjoy while you can. Good Luck.

    You cant compare the rent prices in vietnam to the ones in Canada/USA, the reason why things are so cheap is because people do not get paid that much so they have to make it affordable to what people make here. My 2 bedroom is $275 plus $110 on Utilities, I can make it for less than $600 USD a month. I shop at the Mega Mart or get street food

    Good video, I am also working in a budget for Vietnam. Actually most of money is wasted in having fun… dates, dinner dates, drinking, “les balloons” and women…
    If u remove all the “nocturnal fun” activities you can definitely be in that range of 17-19 million VND… but then again you need some fun.

    The cost of living in Vancouver is skyrocketing but you can choose to live at another city that is more affordable in Canada. You can get a job with high pay in Canada to pay for that. In Vietnam, I don't think you can find a high pay job.

    Hi! Thnx for the vid, very informative. How about health insurance - do you pay for one? (HMO or do you use travel insurance)
    I'm glad that your health is better. I'm curious - why Saigon? Are you employed by a company there or are you self-employed/ digital nomad? I was thinking that if you're self employed, you could choose another place where the air quality is better, e.g. Da Nang, Nha Trang or Da Lat.
    TIA. Cheers & take care!
