[What you are quoting here is totally unbelievable. Please dont lure our unsuspecting people to go and get stranded in a country not in any way better than Nigeria. Vietnam is one of the poorest countries in Asia.

quote author=WhyNa post=99798235]

Yes and yes

Life here is super cheap and you can save nothing less than 800 USD per month.

The LOWEST you can earn here is 1200 USD and it's teaching English

Go check my thread

https://www.nairaland.com/5687510/journey-hanoi-vietnam

I didn't even see this before I replied the previous one.

Now I can beat my chest and say you don't know ANYTHING

Do people actually make research before opening their mouth to blab around

I earn 21usd per hour as an English teacher here and this one is here talking poorer than Nigeria. iN YOUR DREAM!

If ur in the US, check out Visible. I think they have a plan you can get for $25 a month and it runs on the Verizon network. I would switch but my plan gives me free international data, so when I do personal travel it's been a life saver(getting off a plane) when I can't immediately get local data.

grin am sure that person saying Vietnam is poorer than Nigeria hasn't been to the country before and he/she hasn't read your thread either because if he or she has done either of the two he/she wont come and type such clownish statement here.

Bros ,
2000 aed per month is that for a studio apartment or house sharing please?

I'm hoping to come for few weeks and I think I might rent a house instead of staying in hotel.

What do you think?

House sharing, the money is for your own room in the house.

Everything is relative. The thing is..... how much is salary? Your monthly expenses may be $450 but your salary may be only $550.

There is no relative anything. The least salary you earn here as an English teacher is now 1200 USD.

It used to be 800 USD before the Covid-19 but now, it's 1200 USD.

NOBODY will offer a teacher here 550 talk more of the teacher accepting it

They even insult teachers who accept and the schools that offer 1200 USD per month. But trust our African people, they accept this so they keep offering it

Re: How Much Do You Spend Monthly Overseas? by folaolufunmi(f): 3:55pm On Mar 16, 2021
What you spend monthly is dependant on a lot of factors, the first is the size of your family and your lifestyle. I generally tell people that to live the best life abroad do not bring unnecessary debt upon yourself, especially because of the temptation of credit cards

Happy2020:
Those who haven’t traveled think living abroad is Disneyland. It had its perks but you also have to bust your azz to pay these bills every single month and when you don’t pay, you get kicked out of your place or the utilities get turned off or they even come and take your car.
Living abroad comes with the stress of maintaining yourself monthly. People borrow money so they can take their annual trip back to Naija just to floss and flex then they spend the rest of the year or more paying that bill.
But there's always a job to pay the bills, except if one is lazy. So far you migrate legally, getting a job won't be problem. To maintain life abroad is tough and difficult, yet they never want to come back home, yet they keep establishing several businesses, embarking on several eye-catching projects that run into countless millions back home. I wonder what u mean by working ur ass to maintain urself in a month, Even in a country that has the best social welfare package, people still work their ass to pay bills.

You still don’t get it? Everybody is not you, needs are different.

Why have unlimited WiFi and still pay for unlimited data for phone right?

I have unlimited WiFi in my house (I work from home) and I also have unlimited data on my phone because every morning, I take a 1 hour walk plus jog in between and use my phone data to listen to music, podcasts, make calls and so forth before I resume work.

I live in Ontario, Canada. Peace bro.

Re: How Much Do You Spend Monthly Overseas? by ttmacoy: 11:33pm On Jan 02, 2022
Interesting perspective that food/groceries is more than rent. It's usually the other way round with rent/mortgage being the highest monthly expense by far especially as you may need a bigger house for a family of 5.

grafixdon:
Location - Lagos, Nigeria ��
1. House Rent = N30,000 monthly
2. Food/groceries = N120,000 (family of 5)
3. Internet = N12,000
4. Car Gas = N20,000 (2008 Sienna)
5. Kid’s School = N55,000 per kid (3 kids)
6. Miscellaneous = not consistent, sometime N10,000 other time N200, 000 or above
